And the hell ain't over yet.

Life is ridiculous.

You know they always tell us to "eat in moderation"? Well, it doesn't seem to apply to life.

Life likes throwing crap at you in the most extreme amounts. First, they give you a drought. Then, it floods.

Don't get it? You're lost? Don't worry. Here's a real life example.

Round One begins one month before the exams. We have begun to write study notes, pay extra attention in class, revise the textbooks, obtain practice papers to do, see teachers for last minute clarifications etc. All of us are ready to tear our hair out from the roots anytime now and everyone believes that stress-induced acne or at least a pressure-induced migraine is imminent.

One month later...

The exams finish. Hip hip hooray! We have relative peace for a few weeks, we rest our aching hands and catch up on the fun we missed during the gruelling exam period. We anticipate the holidays coming.

Then we remember. Shock and horror. The exams begin again soon. Ding ding! Round two. And in addition, we have all those projects we've neglected for the past few weeks. Cue panicking and stress. Also cue the buying of ice to relieve the pain of aching heads, caused by attempting to study those "not particularly well-liked" subjects, memorising of scripts last minute and staying up late to do all those projects. Oh no.

And guess what! It's excellent! *immediately gives up on the sudden burst of inspiration to be optimistic* We're not at round one and it's not over. Currently, in real life, we're just at the beginning of round two. The bell has just gone "Ding ding!", and there goes our leisure time and peace of mind.

Here we go again.
