On One More Month

One more month to go.

And it'll be the most dreaded 2 weeks in my life thus far, the final exams of phase IIIA.

I can't imagine how I'd stay sane till then. There'll be 2 weeks of study weeks before the finals. But it's going to need a lot of perseverence not to have any anxiety attack. As how my buddy puts it, it's going to be very tough, you won't feel peace at sleep, and you'll feel as if you've not studied enough, and even if you did, you'll feel scared that you won't remember a thing in the exam hall... But when all else fail, there's one thing that you MUST do, not to crack under pressure.

I finally understand what my senior said when she was sitting for hers 3 years ago, "You stick to your books 24/7 until you're so tired of it that you need to go out and take a breather, but you don't even dare to leave your books. It's THAT bad. Nervous breakdown can get to you any moment if you couldn't handle the pressure."

Ironically... I wrote this post 10 days ago.

haha. You'll do fine. For sure.

Time will pass, and soon all the exams will be over, and you can take a breather. And soon you'll be a doc who handles all pressures with ease.

All the best ya? Cheeros.
