So... exams just started. How do I feel after the first paper? Well.. all I can say is that good is definitely not a word I can use to describe how I feel about it. Had barely 3 hours of sleep before the paper thanks to extremely bad cramps and just the sudden lack of desire to sleep. Guess I never felt this stressed in my life. It isn't exactly a stressed kind of stressed... I am actually unaware that I am stressed... Hmm how should I put it. It is as if I am underestimating the actual amount of stress I am going through, or more like I am unconsciously immensely stressed. I look perfectly fine but I know that my body is taking the damage quite badly... Never have I had cramps so bad I couldn't sleep for a full 2 hours after rolling around in bed.
Thankfully, it didn't flare up that badly to the extent that I had to writhe in pain at my table while doing the paper. However I was crouching majority of the time just to ease the pains... sigh...
Oh well, my first paper and well, it just had to start with TCM. Actually, I am quite thankful that it is the TCM paper... with that gone, I can finally switch my brain back to English and not worry about memorising weird texts which make no sense to me. But the highlight is one I got home, it got so bad that I was unable to leave my bed for a full 6 hours... I just spent those excruciating 6 hours rolling around in bed trying to suppress the pain. Panadol didn't work... all I had was a heat pack with me. I ended up knocking myself out and slept most of the time, probably from the pain and fatigue. It really sucks, because I still have a hell load more of revision to do and I wasted 6 hours in bed. Oh well, just hope that with whatever time I have left, I can salvage this situation and look forward to my exchange in France! :D Maybe I should try some acupuncture the next time to ease the pain haha!
