11 days to freedom!
Against my better judgement, I ended up writing BBYD essay for Lit. Then after the paper I the silly fool went wailing to everyone about how BANG BANG, I'm dead. Or, to be more precise, quite nearly was dead.
I was caught in this awful dilemma during the last half hour of the paper(s) - after I put the fullstop to my english essay. Read the Lit essay again, and suddenly it hit me hard, real hard - 'What if they penalise me for writing "parents" as
one character?" And the consequent thought was 'Shit'.
And so, of course, poor undecisive me was hence wedged between a giant sandwich - to change or not to change? If I do change, who can I write? What if time runs out? (That's a triple club sandwich, by the way.)
At the last 5 minutes exactly, my heart skipped a beat and I thought "JUST DO IT". And I did. I managed to take my ah-pek blue pen and
strike off three whole paragraphs, including conclusion, whereafter I settled to scribbling my replacement point with all my might. After the examiner said stop I was still writing so I looked up and pretended to look cool though my hands were sweaty and furiously writing.
Still got hope lah.
And anyway for those such as Hwee Mean who thought what I did was "siao!" and utter nonsense I'll tell
you that maybe that was a trick question that forced you to avoid writing groups of people like "schoolmates" and "parents" and instead know your text well enough to come up with three individual characters.
Hah.
Once again, 11 days to freedom!
