Exam-Eve...

So, finally, the time of the Exams has just about arrived… yet as I write this blog (which is again, a considerable time since I last wrote on this blog!) I don’t really feel any nerves or anxiety about these exams. Why? I’ve spent a lot of this afternoon asking this question…

Ok, so I have spent considerable time praying and seeking God, but also have been regularly meeting up with a group of other students to revise the material even though we’ve only had like around 4 weeks to revise an enormous amount of material due to the UEA kindly giving us like 4 – 5 exams in a single week, right at the start of the examination period.

So, I accepted from an early stage that the amount of material they expect us to revise in such a short period is simply impossible… but I do know that I’ve simply made quite a conscious decision to “go in and do my best” regardless… I do think there is only so much revision one can do in a single day and it’s a total waste of time giving yourself a headache over it… so I guess in some ways I feel I’m about as ready as I’ll be for the next two days… (I do feel sorry for colleagues have an economics exam on Thursday too…), although I do have a programming exam on the 3rd of June… but with the best part of 4 weeks to revise a single module, I’m not particularly worried.

So, bag is packed, have booked a room at the University for two nights, all in a bed to reduce stress (the drive in is not exactly pleasant!) I just pray that what I do in the exams will be enough for a good result… although I’m a little anxious about Introduction to Organisational Behaviour…

However, it has been one heck of a journey and meeting up with other students in a revision group was a joyful and very helpful use of time... I just hope they too do well in the exams... (you know who you are!!!)
