Exams are over!!

Just finished my exams, I'm glad they are because I really hate exam time, as I'm sure countless others do as well, but not because of all the studying you have to do... well maybe just a little bit. The most thing I hate is the when people start crying and moaning, "oh shit, I'm going to fail in the exam. I haven't looked at anything for the exam", I mean, for fuck's sake, what do you expect will happen?! I always wonder what wonders through these people's minds', here are two things that maybe they think could happen to prevent the inevitable:

a)The people that watch over during the exam get abducted by aliens, thus giving them a chance copy answers from the lame people who have studied.

b)Finding a magic that writes the answers on the paper by itself (to those of you who haven't tried this, it doesn't work, I've tried to will my normal pen to do this countless times but to no avail).

And then there are the people that start going all holy and shit. Praying all the times, stop smoking weed, stop drinking and other stuff, all in hope that God will help them pass the exam. Keep in mind that all this holiness will stop as soon as the exam finishes, some of the more hopeful people will wait till the results come out. Do people really think this will make them pass??! I mean what they are asking for is divine intervention, I doubt God is going to put aside whatever he is doing and put the answers in someones head or their exam paper.

After all of this when they find out that they have failed or gotten a really shite mark, they are speechless!! What the hell did you expect????

Then there are the die-hard study people, what really annoys me about these people is that they are studying just to get high grades, not in the pursuit of knowledge or trying to learn new skills, they just want A's. I don't have the faintest clue what they actually do with them... as long as it makes them happy I suppose. These also wail before the exams, and after...."we've done really bad" and then when the results come out... SURPIRSE, well golly by george, they got the full mark. The only people who are surprised are the ones who actually got the grades because everyone else knows that even before the results come out.

Why can't people just act normally? I mean, I know when I'm going to get a good grade and when I'm going to get a bad one after finishing the exam, its a simple as that. I don't need divine intervention, I don't need to pretend that I've done crap to try and fit in with others (for some reason, being or acting stupid is regarded as 'cool', well I say fuck this so called 'cool').

I never wanted to go to college but I was forced to, so instead of just being an ungrateful sod, especially when my parents cough up twenty thousand pounds each year for me to get a decent education, I've decided to make the most of it. Two and a half years on, I'm actually glad that I did go.

Wow, I only intended to write,"Finished my exams!!" when I began to write this post, but at least I managed to work my fingers. Now I go to give them a bit more exercise with my new ps2 which I've been going on constantly about to my friends at university, I'm sure as soon as they come to play they are going to break it so they can shut me up!!! I suppose I had better get gaming then.

I think the real challege is not about getting a good grade or not... but if you actually did the best you could...
So, at the end of the day... it's a challenge againts myself... and nothing more than that..
If i got a bad grade but i did my best, at least i can feel some sort of peace... but if i got a good grade but i did a crap... i wonder, how can I pretend I'm actually doing what they expected me to do...
