It was a disastrous start of the week. I prepared for almost 4 days non-stop, scoring above 70% on all mock tests, reading some 3 big books; sleeping for almost 4 hrs a day and 2 hrs on the final day. When the time came to give the exam, I fainted!!! Everything blacked out.

Never was anything so stressful in life to me. Never really cared about my college exams. Don’t know why I developed so much pressure for this exam – may be because I invested so much of money or may be because I wanted to get relieved of it before I went to UK (because I didn’t know about the option of giving the test there) or may be because my future in a particular place will be set if I do this. Whatever be the reason, the pressure mounted, it mounted to such an extent that my body was just not listening to my mind and after sometime my mind dried up completely.

Still recovering from the stress and the bodily effects that took place, I’m still shocked that such a thing could happen to me. I mean I fainted many a time, in buses, while riding my bike, etc. but never for an exam.

Well, but I aint gonna give up!
