false alarm
not that i set the wrong timing or wake up late for the final exam. there's nothing to do with the alarm clock, time and whatsoever. it is my silly clumsy mind that was drowsily sleeping somehow, until today, on this very morning this braniac (brain+maniac) seems to be fully awake from its long slumber.
before i proceed, please know, that i am in the middle of exam's week. i've got two more papers before i declare myself free from assignments, classes, books, examinations, and every tedious stuff to do with the life of a student. preparing for exam is like setting forth of a war. one's mental and physical have to be armored with excessive knowledge and shielded by great health, and to step in the exam hall it is important to limber up your fingers' muscles and knuckles so you can endure the excruciating moment of three hours in the exam hall. but, no matter how ready you are, please do not forget the most crucial essential fundamental vital step, check your exam's schedule.
last night at three in the morning, i made sure of basic things like the exam's slip, the ID card and the matrix, are being put in the bag, with a tremendous hope i won't be late for exam. and i made sure i woke up early just to have enough time to get myself ready, 10 min to apply the moisturizer etc, 10 mins to select the clothes, 5 min to get back to the room for the forgotten sweater, albeit i was one of the early birds. i chose to have a morning walk that helps to break the nerves and it was not that far, a 15 min walk from that highland of Saujana. so, i reached the exam hall with sweat, and high determination for the exam, but only to realize that none of my coursemates were there. i started to get even more panic when there was no 'seat-display-number-whatever' for my course, HET i-forget-the-code, being pasted on the board.
i was perplexed but i could not call anyone as i didn't bring my phone and there was no one that i knew around. upon the realization and for the love of Computational Linguistics, who wants to be in the exam hall when the real exam starts at 2 in the evening but not at 9 in the morning. and there i was standing in front of the exam hall, like a complete lunatic who did not double triple check her schedule. so, this is my final lesson.
oh well. oh CL.
