Today was the long awaited day for Sem 3 students to leap the final hurdle before going to Sem 4. At 9.30am, OBA (One Best Answer) was already waiting to get to students and just eat up their confidence. It was tough. And like what I told most of my friends...
"OBA has taken and trapped my heart, made vertical slits to make me bleed and made it jump bungy jump down the highest mountain. Unfortunately, my heart never made it back up because as my heart thought that it would be safe to bungy jump, it did not realise that there were no ropes attached. I just sat there lifeless for the rest of the hour."
By the time I completed the first three pages, I saw on my answer paper that I could answer the odd numbered questions but not the even numbered ones.
No. Thoughts
1. 'Hey, this is not bad...'
2. 'Okay, I don't know this. I'll skip it first.'
3. 'Mm... Yeah, I know the answer to this.'
4. 'Err, I have no idea.'
5. 'Whee... so fun.'
6. 'Ehto.... hmm, what's the answer?'
7. 'Lalala, there should be more questions like this.'
8. 'Yay, there are more questions like that no. 7'
9. 'Uh-oh.. maybe I shouldn't have said that too fast.'
Occasionally, that would switch. When I reached the Respi section, I could answer nothing. ZILCH! My head was blank. I could not longer feel my heart beating. So, I decided to skip the whole of Respi and proceed to the Hemato section where she found comfort and love from RBCs etc. GIT was as nice as Hemato as well but probably a little more cheeky.
When I walked out the door, I had a huge smile on my face which indicates that it was a horrible paper. It is a strange reaction but I was just telling a few friends that I'm sure I had at least 31 correct because I only knew how to answer that much correctly.
Before stepping into the hall yet once again for another 2 more components, I had this gloomy feeling clouding over me. With Sandip sitting beside me and Chia Sin sitting diagonally on the right behind me, I felt a little stressed. The Extended Matching Questions were do-able although I did not know how to answer my Respi section at all AGAIN! Hemato and GIT were okay.
The last component which was Multiple Essay Questions was straightforward. It was simple. The questions were short and sweet. The marks allocated were fair as well. The only problem with that for me was that I know the big picture and the ideas that are present in the picture. But, I do not quite know the details of the ideas.
I remember seeing my friends writing so neatly on their papers while my hands were shaking because I did not have enough time to complete the questions. I wondered how my friends could stay so calm and answer while I had to make up stories and new theories because it was definitely better to write something than to leave it blank.
I was relieved that the day is over and tomorrow is the last thing that I'm worried about- OSPE. How do I feel now?
...just like the header of my blog. Trapped. Drowning. In need of air and help but asking for none. ...because that's just me. I don't ask.
