But being seriously tense and unease, having five mini mental breakdowns a day, all I want is to be left alone.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>27 May 2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You know what I did on Bank Holiday. The one day that&#8217;s supposed to be a holiday. Well, I was in the Skempton Building, along with half the department &#8212; rough estimate. I know it probably seem like I&#8217;m complaining about the hard work, but maybe I am. When people say to me, &#8220;first year is easy&#8221;. I wanted to say maybe it is, because you went through it and came through the other side. But maybe it isn&#8217;t fair for someone who&#8217;s going through that to be told what a worse future they&#8217;re going to have.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway. At this time, I seriously wish I have a photograhic memory. The exam on Tuesday was mainly memorising, and well after the first 3 exams, my brain is at 5% capacity.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>28 May 2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The day has come, it was a 3 hours exam, and I left halfway through. I made a judgement call, I knew I was better spending my time revising for my next exam rather than staring on an answer sheet, I answered to the best of my ability. I&#8217;m going to admit, having Fluid mechanics the day after was not easy I attempted to do the 2018 paper, and I tried to do it, and nope not right. Being so close to the exam, not being able to do the question felt like an absolute failure.<\/p>\n<p>Did the next question, and I can barely answer it, I finally brokedown. Thoughts rushed into my mind, I couldn&#8217;t do this, I can barely do this question, what am I going to do tomorrow. I went outside of the room, and called my sister. I was so upset and one of the undergrad office came to me, and I couldn&#8217;t be more grateful to have the support system that&#8217;s available.<\/p>\n<p>I went back inside, with a clearer head. Finished my revision, and ready or not, I&#8217;m going to have to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 exams down, 6 to go.
