Finally, over

I didn't see much into taking two examinations on a single day, until the people who knew about it started exclaiming in shock. It didn't occur to me as anything more than a coincidence probably because I had expected and thought through it when I chose the modules. And that this time round, the entire period of exam-preparation felt relatively stress-free.

Nonetheless, the muscle between my thumb and index finger throbbed with soreness by the time I was finishing my last question on my last paper. It was by then, the third, going onto the forth, hour of intensive speed writing since morning. It didn't help the 'Place' paper was straining - my handwriting was, by the last page, reduced to a slur of curly lines and erratic dots.

Then it occurred to me this might be my last 'serious' written exam in NUS. If I get my way and go to China next sem, I will only be left with a couple of extra possibly examinable modules to clear before graduation, which I have enough S/U options to deal with. So no more written exams. And I am so not complaining.
