Title: is this weird or bad or good or what?
Post by: hard on November 09, 2008, 04:34:12 pm
well most people i ask are either anxious, very nervous or worried about the "next exam." However i'm feeling very calm even though i got VCD on tuesday and legal on wednesday. I think it's because of all the debating and after a while i've learnt to cope with anxious or stressful moments, like just before getting up to read your speech. But is this a bad thing? like not being stressed and all? Should i be stressed and nervous?

i like to dance before my exams..
everyone else stresses like crazy, but i really enjoy them.
it's like getting to show off all the hard work you've done.
also, panicking a whole lot is just a major impediment!

... you aren't stressed because you've been studying for these 2 subjects for how long?

Depends on your reaction to stress. Do you become more alert of everything, possibly making less mistakes? Or do you go into panic mode and everything makes no sense to you and you're reading the question over and over again?

But for me, I envy the people who are laid back but still perform extremely well.

Lol... I'm the type who starts bawling uncontrollably... Even though I know my stuff twice as better as the next person. :D I guess it's just me.

mid year exams i was a mess, like a crying mess, terrible mess. but these exams, i havent cried, or really got disgustingly stressed, but i was probably most stressed about english. but now im so calm its scary, but i think ive finally realised that these exams arent everything, i know that they are real important, but im not going to make myself emotionally sick over them cos its not worth that. so yeah i am very relaxed! one exam to go woo!!! in less than 24hrs i will have officially finished my high school life!

i just don't want to walk in a room FULLY confident and then slack off. I want to walk in with fear. Although i will get anxious RIGHT before the exam while i'm waiting outside the exam room. That's scary.

Moderate amounts of stress can actually be beneficial because it gets you to concentrate properly. You don't want to be so stressed that you can't think properly though. As long as you still want to do your best and can still focus in your exams, this is fine. It may end up working well for you.

True! I can't study unless I have the "2 days before my exam!" stress -- which I have now, so see ya!

Hehe... I wish I didn't stress. I know when exams are over I will gain so much weight because I will be on the computer 24/7, doing nothing. So in contrast, that stressful feeling is kind of cool. P:
