The Rednecks (Exams) are Coming!

10 Reasons to Study. Now.


Wow, I never left my blog for such a long time during the schooling terms, and it seems I've pretty much left for it to fend for its own with the tagboard (which is in critical condition). The only reason to blog for some time was on the SC blog, and boy is it tough. I never knew colour-coordination took more brain juice than listposts. Or maybe that's just my bad sense of art.

So we're just a week shy of the dread (cue DUM-DUMDUM scary music) exams. Like it or not, the annual plague's returning, now with twelve the pressure, twelve the stress, since we're all thrown into the hall to take our papers as a level. What a comforting thought for level-bonding.

It's a tragedy for all to face, maybe even worse than that of the ban of white-rabbit candies. That integral part of our childhood seems to be the cause of the loss of many others. I do remember my parents telling me "Dont' eat the paper! Don't eat the paper!". Of course, I ate it anyway.

It's a tragedy that the year 4s, fortunately (for them), have completed and gone through the past few weeks, and are highly likely at this moment indulging in various activities that are designed to drain every drop of information that they've poured into their brain the past few weeks.

The tragedy, however, is not over for the year 3s. That's us guys. Stop looking around with that innocent look on your face. Come to think of it, you shouldn't even be here! No, don't talk back to me, I've got the right to be here."But why?" you ask. Well, it's really for the benefit of those of you who do not have to willpower of studying, and have decided for god-knows-what reason to seek entertainment in my blog.

So here I go again, having to cook up another list for the enjoyment of bloghoppers such as you. This time, it's not going to be useless, heavens no. I'm going to tell you exactly why you have to dig out that half empty chemistry file and start panicking before the dreaded 3rd October arrives.

stopping2think presents yet another 10-minute time-wasting list(but for once with a purpose).







6. You don't want to give the talk "The benefits of taking O'Levels instead of DHP" at Speech Day.

5. You need good grades to get the famed 5Cs. The Cs in your report book don't count.

4. You fail, you have to study during holidays. And we all know what happened to Josh from BBYD when he got that.

3. You do well, you get rewarded. You do badly, you get white-rabbit candy.

2. What better way to put this into use?

And the number 1, most important and crucial reason to start studying?

1. You don't want your reason for doing badly to be "...But I was reading Samuel's blog!"

Now, get out of here, and good luck!
