Two down two to go!! This exam has been quite pleasant thus far, but that's because the easy papers have been the first to go. Thursday will prove to be the toughest of the four, and once that's out of the way it's goodbye accounting!!
Today was finance, and I think I'm quite pleased with how I did for the paper. I arrived just in time for the paper, and started to flip through the paper when I had the sudden urge to go to the toilet. I decided I should finish the paper first then go to the toilet because then I won't have to rush the end of the paper, if I had to. Half way through the paper, the urge became stronger, and I started to shake my legs, tap my fingers, anything to control the urge. I needed to finish the paper, and I would kill myself if I went and left myself without enough time for the paper, the toilet would still be there after the paper. My mind started to wonder, why was I so urgent? Then I realised it was because I had downed half a bottle of water before the paper, and it's those 1.5litre bottles kind, and I was still drinking from the bottle I brought into the exam hall. My throat was dry, I needed the water. So I kept it in, and decided to go after the paper. When the paper ended everyone stood up, and I saw a lot of people going to the toilet too, so I figured I might as well go home and use my own toilet. Half way home, the urge became too strong. Clearly I had underestimated the power of my bladder, and I started to walk funny, and I couldn't walk too fast either because well...it might leak!! I was desperate. To cut the story short I did eventually make it home, but lesson learnt. Do not do a water parade just before an exam.
