Is it Anti-Climatic, is it a dream come true or is just a relief?

It's a massive weight off your shoulders. Everything is out of your hands. You walk out of your schooling life and the exam room knowing that you have done everything you can!

The relief I felt just from finishing Methods was amazing, I didn't even care about my results that day, I practically skipped home from the exam and laughed to myself about how I never had to touch a Methods book again.
So I'm hoping it will feel like that, except times 5 :P

Your mind feels so relaxed and distressed. This only lasts for about a few weeks. After that, you start getting stressed for your ATAR wait. But to be honest once i finished my exams the feeling i got was indescribable. My last exam was physics once i finished i walked out with a massive smile on my face. Mainly cause i finished half an hour early and had 30 mins to check over it.

I imagine you'd feel kind of like Alexander the Great did after he had finished conquering practically all of Europe:

"When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer."

You know the part in the movie "the pursuit of happiness," where Will Smith is walking down the busy street in utter relief, as if the world was lifted of his shoulders. It was almost as if tears would come down his cheeks, but then he raises his hands head-height and begins to clap ferociously as he walks amongst the masses of people.

I felt a bit like that.

I had my indo exam last (like all the unlucky indo students)
It suddenly hit me when I finished the paper with 10 minutes to go, that I had finished...VCE...forever... 
I started the fist-pumping then (the VCAA supervisor didn't say anything - he actually smiled at me) and I couldn't wipe off that smile for the next 2 hours
Once we got out, my indo class went wild...  :D

Well I was so excited that I couldn't concentrate on my exam at all, because I kept watching the clock and thinking "30 mins to freedom" instead of "30 mins to think up answers" like I probably should have. Was my worst exam by far, but I was so happy I'd finished I honestly did not care what I had just written.

Is it Anti-Climatic, is it a dream come true or is just a relief?

I had three thoughts:

1. What am I going to do now?

2. Wasn't feeling confident about that italian exam

3. HOLIFRICKENDAYS! I forgot holidays/ freedom existed.
