Unpredictable

Life has always been like that, so unpredictable that you really have to expect the unexpected as what they say. Worst things happen even when you feel you are very lucky enough and in that case, depression and disappointment are normal. Problems and challenges in life are usually expected to be present to anyone at anytime. Yet you still do not know how to deal with those even when you have prepared for it.

Exams in school are similar to those things. The teacher announced the date of the exam ahead of time and you planned for studying strategy. You did the necessary preparation, went to the library, read and understood the concepts, practiced solving the problems, and everything seemed to be running smoothly. The day of the examination came and you were ready for it.

There are many things that might happen. One is due to unknown reason, your mind went blank and you could not think of any answer to the questions or way to solve the problems. You kept on looking at the exam paper and asked yourself what went wrong. So that was mental block and it was one of my depressing experiences in a Biology exam.

Another is your watch did not register the correct time and you were not aware of that. When you arrived at the examination area, you were five minutes late. The teacher was about to give you the exam when you suddenly remembered that your calculator was left in your house and it was a computational exam. When you informed the teacher, she told you to get back your calculator. Good thing if you are living near the university and the delayed time is lesser.

The third is when you felt your fully prepared, you did not sleep the other night just to practice solving problems, and the exam did not turn out the way you expect it. Others often asked why, what is wrong? They have done their best yet the questions in the exam are undoubtedly nerve-cracking and mind-puzzling plus the time limit.

These are just some of what I experienced in my previous exams. Sometimes, you thought you failed but luck happens and you are the top scorer in the class. Life is indeed unpredictable.
