Within 4 walls

2 days to go before the exams... I am feeling surprisingly, alarming calm. Calm enough, at least, to pen something down. We've got an MCQ paper on Wed then the OSCEs on Friday then Long Cases the following Wed, then we're free. Somehow, compared to the previous semesters, I don't feel as nervous about the exams nor as excited about its end. I guess I've taken so many it's just become mind-numbingly routine. Every semester is study, and study and as the exam closes in, freak out and study some more and the day before the exams berate myself (futilely) for not studying harder. But this semester, I'm taking a more introspective and realistic view. I study hard coz I want to and I am beginning to acknowledge the fact that I have limitations, both physical and intellectual and that even if I killed myself studying it probably wouldn't make that much more of a difference to my grades plus it wouldn't be worth it anyhow coz life has much more to offer than just exams.

sorry about all the exam posts. It's that as the exams approach all perspective narrows down to one thing-- exams, but I promise this will be the last one and I shall try to fill these pages with more entertaining, interesting stuff.
