L.I.F.E.

Sabbath (def.) - a period of rest.

A word usually used in reference to a particular
day of prayer. However, in this context I refer
to the break i've taken from blogging since the
commencement of 'HARDCORE' exam preparations.

From as early as Sem1, i've heard of how tough
EOS2 is compared to summative. I've to admit,
it affected me slightly as well 'psychologically'.
However, up until last week I started thinking..
what's the point of stressing out in exams?

You see 'stress' and 'motivation' has an interesting
relationship indeed. Especially in med school, it's
no surprise seeing people stressed out especially
around exam times. Stress can cause motivation,
but rarely is it the other way around. Though I admit,
some THRIVE under stress and after all it is stress
which causes those that can cope to accommodate to
a situation by a change (be that good or bad). Anyways,
i'm not one without stress..though nowadays i do tend
to try looking at things from a different perspective.

Exams are well..just EXAMS. No doubt they are what
determine whether or not my parents have to fork
out an additional 30K to repeat a semester again. But,
yes it's a set of papers designed to test whether or not
you know your stuff. If you've been consistent in your
reading and memorizing, it'll be no problem. After all,
our lives are full of tests whether it be physical or
abstract. It's just the matter of how we want to approach
it.

Anyways, with that said i've gotta go and revise for my
last paper tomorrow.

Countdown to freedom:

21 HOURS.
