POST-EXAM SYNDROME

What a relief when the last paper of Microbiology has finished.I've waited impatiently to end the very first war of First Block Exam in second year.Very tiring week.As usual,I studied at eleventh hour again.Hmmm..it's very difficult to change this attitude.I knew it's not a good habit yet I've still do it.Lack of force to study at the beginning?Maybe.Sometimes I don't understand with myself.I want good result (read:result with flying colours means get all distinctions in all subjects) but I do not consistently study from the start of the block.Waiting till a week more left to start everything and at the end I felt lethargy and restless.Bad habit.Come on Damia,you need to 'istiqamah'.It's a need for a Muslim to do that.Wake up,wake up.



Anyway,it has finished already.I felt confident with my Pharmacology paper eventhough the questions are a lot.Pathology?Some of the questions I have misunderstood them.Don't know wheteher I answered accordingly or not.My beloved subject,Microbiology,a really tough paper. I'm not the only one who think like that.Even the toppers in my class feel the same.I guess it's not bad at all.How about Forensic Medicine?Well,I guess it's ok.Direct questions asked on the paper but to remember all the definitions correctly without missed even one word make it a bit tough.



What to do know?Movies or anime?Hmm..how about surfing the internet.

iluvislam.com is an interesting choice.



paksi.net?What is this?Let me open it.Quite new for me.Ohh..there's a forum about post-exam syndrome.Discussion about how students spend their time after examination.Let's see the view. How I ashamed with myself.I'm supposed to use this free time to do things which benefit me not just simply unnecessarily use the time to sleep all the day or watching a full series of anime or enjoying the movies continuously.It's not the way!I've even seen male colleagues spent their post-exam day watching Korean drama!!!!!!What!!



Oh yes,I still can do all that but it has the limit.I should use this time to recite Al-Quran,learn how to recite the Surah appropriately.Or I can read the articles in iluvislam.com which I could not manage to do it during the exam week (it's like promoting iluvislam...hehe,but i do love iluvislam like a real friend).I love to read but unfortunately I don't have any other books apart of subjects text books (which I don't feel to read them right now..hehe).So,iluvislam become my primary source for getting reading materials.Insha-Allah this 'syndrome' would never happen again.



Looking forward for Second Block : )

Some Facts About Manipal

>> You have to wait for a long time just to fixing a new gas tank or pick up your shoes from the cobblers or collect your cheque from Financial Department of University (I thought only Malays known for their 'janji Melayu' but here worse than that. Although not in all situation you encounter this but most of the time,definitely it will happen)

>> Prepare your pocket with some paise (shillings) to be given to the beggars (if you are soft-hearted). Actually sooner or later, you become reluctant to give away those money. But, don't give too much or don't give unequal amount if two beggars come to you simultaneously. They will definitely following you wherever you go.

>> Be careful at where you eat. If you are unlucky, you will get diarrhoea (common phenomenon)

>> When you cross the roads, not only you need to look to your right and left but also behind you. Because here, they do not have the right rules.

>> Bargain first before you buy. You can get cheaper price if you are good in bargaining.

>> You need not have beautiful and expensive shoes. What you need are shoes that you can use during intense hot summer and rainy days. Sport shoes are good choices.

>> You need not to walk to the eating places if you are feeling lazy to cook. Just call your favourite place and they will send food right in front your door. (Same thing you can do for laundry, they can come to your house to pick the laundry, wash them, iron them, send them back to you).

>> For those who living outside, you can hire maids and cook to clean your house, wash your clothes and cook for you.

>> You cannot wear jeans to attend classes (for MMMC students). Then, why on earth other colleges can do it?

>> If you wear any clothes, you can mix totally opposite colour such as green with pink or blue with orange. Nobody will look at you eventhough it looks weird because almost all local people have 'colour disorder'.

>> Use umbrellas during rainy seasons. Here, it rains heavily and continuously.

>> Shops open late during day and close very early at night.

>> Very few lamp posts available so it is not advisable to walk at night. Dangerous. You may get hit by vehicles if the drivers/riders do not notice you.

>> You can play fireworks at any time you want to. It does not necessary to play on certain occasions. Plus, you will not get caught.

[There's still some more things which are peculiar but you will know them better if you live here]
