The One The Day Before The Exam
As a student we have all experienced and survived (Well, most of us 😨) exams and gone through the brutal pain experienced the day before it- trying to cover the entire syllabus in that short duration when till that day, we would not even have known the name of the course or in extreme cases, that such a course was being taken by us!! For those who have not undergone this traumatic experience (*Cough Nerds😤 Cough*) , imagine yourself having had a year to prepare to fight a dragon, wasted 364.25 days of it (See, I am smart 😂😃) and now have one day left to suit up and you don't even know where your weapons are - although if you were a nerd, you would have prepared so intently that you would kill the dragon with 5 points (of the sword) even if only 3 are required 😖(You know what I mean😂).
So here's a brief description of the struggle each student faces the day before an exam and to maximize pain and suffering, let us imagine he stays alone -in a hostel. I am obliged and bound by the law to provide a cautionary statement-
The following content contains gory details and a tale of woe. Not suitable for teachers, people who pass exams (If they exist 😗) and giraffes (What?I am an animal lover😁).
We come across Dodo- the student we are going to observe for today- although with his penchant for procrastination, he should be called Don't Don't!! He seems to be calmly sleeping- justified considering that it is only 5 a.m. At 6 a.m, an alarm rings and suddenly we are instilled with hope- perhaps Dodo is not our stereotypical idiot after all; perhaps he is very hardworking and studious!! Our hopes skyrocket when we see Dodo's eyes open like the gateways to Student Heaven we assume he will be given entry to. Dodo immediately gets up and stretches his arms- giving us the impression that he is going to be working them very hard today. Then like a desi politician, he does a sharp about turn and picks up his mobile phone- seeming extremely excited. He makes a couple of calls and within a minute starts playing PUBG and suddenly a new record has been set indashing incinerating the maximum amount of hope in the shortest period of time(The previous record holder, Donald Trump, swears he will come back with a YUGE effort).
After 3 long hours ofintense study gaming, our hero collapses onto the bed- exhausted. Having decided to skip breakfast, he proceeds to sleep. He sleeps blissfully,in ignorance, until 1 p.m when he wakes up and decides to have lunch. He proceeds to the cafeteria where he meets a bunch of his friends and ends up talking and joking with them for 2 hours. Then probably tired of all the 'effort' he has put in, he decides to sleep for another 2 hours- meanwhile we come across a sloth that is suffering an identity crisis after observing Dodo!!!
So our hero finally wakes up at 5 p.m and decides to study. He then realizes that he has less knowledge of the syllabus than a goat does of the butcher !! He calls up that one 'nerd' friend of his -whom he mocks daily for that very fact - and after a lot of apologizing, manages to extricate the required details from him. Then angered by the effort he had to put in to extract that information, he calls up another friend of his and bitches about the 'nerd' for about an hour or so😞. So by the time this entire procedure is completed, it is already 7 p.m and time for dinner 😱. Though he realizes that it is already 8 p.m and that he has an examination to take in less than 12 hours, he seems less stressed out than a lifeguard at an Olympic swimming event😂😂!!
At close to 9 p.m, Dodo decides to study (Stop the press!!!) and pulls out book after book from a bag of his. Then looking at the pile of books he has to refer and study from, our busy bee nearly faints!! Finally he seems to be stressed out. He then proceeds to call yet another friend of his to bitch about the professor for making them study so much in so little time😒. Having spent most of his vocabulary and brain cells in abusing the professor, he decides to utilize some in preparing for the exam. He begins to do so by lying lavishly on the bed. The rest is as predictable as the climax of a Salman Khan movie- he falls asleep in less than fifteen minutes!! Elsewhere the sloth is counting sheep!!
The next morning Mr.Perseverance gets up at 7 a.m , realizes he has not studied anything for the examination and decides to somehow distract the invigilator so as to give him time to cheat😦.
But it is here that destiny plays a cruel trick...none of his friends have studied for the exam either- and so they all flunk the course, together(Obama was wrong.Together they couldn't😉).
So the moral of the story here is not to study in advance but to ensure that you have at least one friend who studies regularly and will help you out in the examination hall😂😂.
