This is a piece on a girl who is preparing for her exam tommorrow. |
I was sweating profusely.I had just finished a chapter of Physics.The knot in my stomach loosened a bit.Six more chapters to go I said to myself.I came down to the kitchen to have a glass of water."Have you finished", asked my mum."No mom", I replied.I was sick and tired of hearing the same question.It was just five in the evening.How was I supposed to finish eighteen chapters so soon. I walked into the T.V room and decided to call my friend.I was anxious to know how much she had finished.I hoped that she had not done more than me.Crossing my fingers I dialled her number."Hello, may I speak to ****",I said."She's studying.Can you call after sometime",came the reply."Thanks", I replied felling irritated.Does she think other people are farting around I thought. I went into my room and resumed studying.I had one eye on my clock while I quickly mugged up the various formula's.It was dinner time and I heard my mum call out to me.Before I could come down the stairs I heard my mum ask,"Have you finished ?"."Mom please stop asking me that ",I retorted.Dinner was a subdued affair.Most of the conversation was between my father and my sister. Soon after dinner I felt very sleepy.I took the clock and kept the alarm at 3 a.m."When do I wake you up?",my mum asked."Six 'o' clock is fine",I lied.Before flalling off asleep I reminded myself that I have to wake up and I have to study to complete my portions |
