Well as might know, biology was on Tuesday. But the day before that was very tuff for me. I literally spent the entire day studying for it. I'll have to admit that there were points that I wanted to give up...and say I couldn't do it. I had 10 chapters worth of terms to know of the back of my hand. It was so overwhelming, but I couldn't quit...my determination didn't allow it. Not to mention I would be giving up on all my friends who believed I can pass…failing wasn't an option for me. At 9:00 pm I decide that I deserved a break, and I went to the place where I always go when something is bothering me. This of course was the beach a few minutes from my house. I stared at the starts scattered across the horizon, and prayed for the best. The late night breeze was so soothing; it was exactly what I needed. An hour later, I was still in a daze, sitting on the sand…trying to be at ease. But I just couldn’t shake of that fear I had. Then it hit me, I’m not alone. The various supporting comments from Live Journal and a few on MSN crossed my mind. I wasn’t alone at all, that day sure felt as if I was. It was then were I decided to quit beating myself up…I studied to my limits; and I’m going to give that test my all.
The next day will be so unforgettable. My whole body was trembling as I walked through the Bermuda College corridors, looking for the room I will take the test. I store at the door labeled N270...I took a deep breathe, and stepped in. Surprisingly I was the only person there. According to clock, the test was going to begin in one hour. So I opened up the PowerPoint study guide I created, and reviewed for about 15 minutes. Even though I did a quick review, I was still uneasy. So I decided to play a little of my favorite music I downloaded from my home computer, to my school laptop. The empty classroom was booming with Rupee, Jimmy Eat World, and Daniel Powter’s Bad Day. These songs really helped me calm down, and I felt almost excited to take the test. Before I knew it, there was only 10 minutes till exam time, and four more students arrived. They to were a bit nervous, so I played my favorite song, “What Happens In De Party.” They to loved that song, and it made them feel a bit better as well.
After the song was over, I sat down, and stared at the door…waiting for my teacher to walk in and give me the test. A few minutes later, she walked…and she didn’t waste anytime at all. As soon as she walked in, she gave out the exams. After a quick good morning, she gave her “No talking at all” speech. The test paper was so thick; I swear if you were hit by it, it could have knocked you out lol. When I flipped it over, I smiled. The questions were no where as near as bad as I thought they would be. After I read the questions to myself, the answer to them came a few seconds after. Of course towards the end, I began to putter out. My lack of breakfast began to kick in during them as well, but I didn’t quit. Three ours later, I was done, but checked the exam over before I left. I passed my lecturer my exam, an I left the room with my head up, and my determination stronger then ever.
Thank you all so much for the support. I couldn’t have done this without you. Your all apart of my life now, and I’m going to continue to need your support. I hope I have had a positive impact on your lives as well. You know…I’m glad I signed up for live journal, it has allowed me to discover my best friend, awesome pals, increase my writing skills, and to even have the pleasure to have some kick ass debates. I never detested any of you…not once. Once again…I thank you all. Peace on to all of you, now and forever!
