BEFORE AND AFTER THE EXAM

This is what I think,
At the start of the sem:
At least this sem im going to learn properly unlike the previous sems I wont put off everything for the last minute
What actually happens: I wont even be sure of the names of the subject for a month or two (but its not my fault , how do u expect me to remember when they keep changing it every 6months)
In the study holidays:
This time im going to learn throughout the study holidays without wasting time and never even touch any novel.
What actually happens: I do nothing but read novels and eBooks.

Finally all the studying is done by cramming it all in a single night, reading only the side headings and give a fleeting glance at the diagrams


At the exam hall: I suddenly realize that I have forgotten everything I learnt (not that I learnt a lot) and my mind is very clear and blank like a severely wrung wet sponge.
After getting the question paper i look at it and wonder if it’s the same subject I learnt for and after a few moments I spot few questions which I remember vaguely, glancing through, somehow manage to scribble something in the next three hours.

After the exam:
I come out of the hall my brain feeling all mushy and slushy, to face the same question “how did u do?” and I have a standard reply “I don’t know” which actually means that I have done pathetically bad and I don’t want to be reminded of it.
Since I messed up the exam big time i think that ill make it up by doing the other exams well but end up doing it worser than the previous one.
When i ask the others how they did this how they reply
“No time at all, I didn’t do well”
What it means: I didn’t go through the paper for a second check.
“I will surely fail”
What it means: I will get something in 85 and not 95 as expected.
“I dint learn at all“
What it means: I didn’t do a fourth revision.
“I didn’t remember anything”
What it means: I forgot the fifth word in the sixth line in the fifth paragraph of the fourth question.
