A Better Title

I sat there, gazing at the CS202 Visual Communication paper as if hoping that something will pop out of it, cold sweat glistening on my forehead. How I managed to see my own forehead in the examinations was another issue altogether.

It doesn’t make sense at all!

No it wasn’t. It was never meant to. Not for me, The Year One Engineering Student Who Is In A Computer Arts Club And Takes Communication Studies Subjects (TYOESWIIACACATCSS) anyway.

I opened my eyes one more time, hoping that what I saw 2 minutes earlier would change.

It didn’t.

There on the piece of question paper lay the sacred numbers. The numbers that would determine the life and death of any YOESWIIACACATCSS (thereinafter we shall call an ES, short for an Engineering Student, for simplicity sake).

Fish!

I read that number again.

50.

One more time.

Fifty.

Just to make sure.

Lima puluh.

…

Bloody hell!

Then my gaze fell on the questions.

Short and sweet, the questions were. But short and sweet, the answers expected weren’t. Cos how the heck was one supposed to write short and sweet answers worth 50 marks?!?

And so for the first half an hour of the paper, I had to overcome the shock that I had to churn out 50 marks worth of answers on my answer script. For each part.

And there were two parts in the paper.

In the end, all is not-so-well.

I spent the next 50 minutes doing the first part, and the following part was attempted in only 40 minutes left of the paper.

I was quite confident of the first part, hoping to get at least 30 marks, but the second question was, I would say, quite tough. Tough because there were not much stuff I could regurgitate of my small memory (damn those faulty memory distributors). So I’m expecting to get something like 20 marks for this part.

But then ah well… To think of the bright side, it’s one paper down! Only four more to go! Yay!
