Exam Panic. Sorta.

December 1, 2007 | Filed Under Life in Uni, Picture Fridays | 3 Comments

So I skipped my second week of “Picture Fridays”. I didn’t realise it initially because today had been a long long day for me. So I’ll just merge this week’s Picture Friday with a little update =) Do bear with me.

I had my first and last final exam today, if that makes sense to you. It was my Introduction to Public Relations paper, which was a two-hour paper. I got to campus on time, waited with probably a hundred other candidates outside the lecture theatre to get inside. Upon entering, I realised that something was amiss. It wasn’t the right location. I was lost with the IT students. I hurriedly trotted to the next lecture theatre, hoping that it was just the one next door, but it wasn’t there! So I had to run to the notice board to see the exact location, and realised that it was actually held in the gymnasium. To think I was so stupid, running amok around the campus from one end to another.

I finally got to the gymnasium and noticed that I was on time. Thank God for that. I thought I would have been late.

The paper caught me by surprise. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would have been. The task was to write two out of three questions based on a given text - business letter, a media release, or a short feature story. I did the first two as I reckoned they would be easier and shorter =P I don’t think I did very well for the media release, but I reckon the business letter was pretty good. I was one of the first few to get out of the gymnasium, so it only took me 1 hour and five minutes to finish the paper. I was.. exhilarated! Gladdened! Elated! Euphoric!

To top it all off, the weather today was just so, so, so “spring-y”. Just the way I like it =)

I was driving on the road after my exam, and I think I was caught speeding by the speed camera. I was doing 85-90 on a 80 zone. Everyone was driving so fast though. I wonder if I managed to elude the camera. If I didn’t, it would be the first time I actually get a fine. Gotta drive much much slower now. Be a good boy. Haha.

So I’ve written a lot today. This is quite unusual, but lately I’ve just been so busy with everything. Especially with my financial concerns. Still jobless, no news at all. This is seriously killing me slowly. I went to a local shopping mall this afternoon to apply for a job in one of the supermarkets. I wonder if I’ll get it this time. All I can do is wait until Monday.

Anyways, enough ranting. Here’s yesterday’s Picture Friday =)

This was one of the few tripods that the university provide us with. Although it’s not exactly the best available in the market, I really love it with a passion. Night photography is not night photography without it.

It’s been almost one month now since I last held on to a DSLR. I miss taking shots of anything and everything. I feel naked without it, especially when I see those picture opportunities that do not come by easily. Like the clouds that was covering the Sun today, it was emitting rays of light around the clouds. So, so frameable. If only. Sigh.

Still, if you’ve waited all week for a picture of a tripod, I’m sorry to have disappointed you. But I think it’s still the most essential equipment in photography.

Have a GREAT weekend! I know I will =) Speaking of which, have you ever had any examination troubles like the one I got into today? Share with us.
