for the sake of EXAMS....

Well sometimes there's just nothing happening except EXAMS- the dreaded word... and oh then your life seems so barren and so boring and yet you know you gotta stick around with mundane studying nevertheless even though they mean very little to you. It's kind of funny though that being an English Honours student makes this period rather weird. Studying Literature can be an exhilarating as well as a frustrating experience at the same time. When you conventionally read a text you don't tend to look at anything beyond the story but here you are supposed to look at it beyond that. And while doing that can be interesting at first however trying to even remember all that is not exactly something which makes you feel so great and after a point it has anyways become slightly boring for me. However what is the best part about English and perhaps even the worst... is its unpredictability! It's completely dependent on you to make your papers a state of art work... well you must wonder what I mean by that. You see an English Honours answer sheet is not just what a conventional answer sheet is generally but you can also make it a literary piece of art along with showing how much you understand the text at different levels.... And that is perhaps why giving the paper can be actually fun. But yeah that depends on how much you are familiar with the world of Literature (well i have hardly read anything beyond my texts though this term) and can connect onto other things which you have come across.... And not all Art is great. So well it's a gamble for sure.... it depends on how well you write and present your thoughts a connective and fluid manner. And this is where one can go wrong. What if you don't do the presentation of thoughts well. So you see you are not only supposed to give all the points but also present them well, make sure each point connects with the next and leads you to an argument... Basically it's no different from Debating or Public Speaking in a way. You are there not only to say things or to tell the audience but also ensure you do it an interesting manner and also ensure that the audience doesn't lose interest whatsoever and finally they shouldn't feel you have been speaking for the sake of speaking.... ooof! But it's cool nevertheless.... Hehe... It's too early to say weather I'll be able to do it and only those three hours will tell! But till then.... Best of Luck to myself!! Lolz.... (Uh actually I am quite nervous)
