Today i will to have share something that happen in my life recently. As most of us are student, exam time might be one of the most stressful times that we have every year. I normally sleep about 1am and wakes up at 9am everyday. And my brain will be active from 9am onwards. Last semester, my exam timetable was very "bad" i think for me. Cause i had got 3 8am papers. Oh my gosh, when i saw my timetable, then i try to re-adjust my body to try to sleep early and wake up early to prepare myself for the 8am paper. But it just can't work effectively, even with coffee in the morning, my brain is still not active and at night when i wanted to sleep, my brain is very active even when i drink warm milk to try to make myself a bit sleepy, count sheep, i still can't sleep before 12midnight. And the more i force myself, the more tired i became and more i lack of sleep. The whole re-adjust my body to sleep early and wake up early doesn't work.
When i know i need to take exam, i prayed that God, if it is possible can it not be 8am paper. Then when exam timetable came out, it is 8am paper, i was like oh my gosh, not again, 8am paper. And this time, it still didn't work for the sleep early and wake up early training that i gave myself. The night before that 8am paper, i slept about 12 plus cause my brain is too active to fall asleep and i tried counting sheep to go to sleep but it doesn't work, until i decided to pray until i fall asleep. And i set my alarm the next day at 6am, so i pull myself to wake up, i did wake up but i know that my brain is still sleeping, so i decided to make a strong coffee that day, and estimate the time i need to leave the house, and realised that i had some time for breadfast, then when i wanted to change to leave the house, i feel a bit sick and vomitted. And after wash up, i rush to the bus stop and reach the bus stop at 7:30am to take a bus to uni, however, when i realised that the time is 7:40am, then it struck me that i had miss the 7:30am bus somehow, and the next bus is at 7:55am according to the timetable, then i started to do some calculation in my mind, and realised that i will reach the exam hall at about 8:10am if the bus will to reach on time at 7:55am. This time, i know that if i will to talk to uni instead of taking bus i will reach the exam hall at 8:15am, even no way. As for that exam, the main challenge in the exam is lack of time, 10min time preusal is very important for that exam. Cause for uq examination, if you are more than 10min late for the exam, you might not be able to take that exam. So, this time, i pray to God, and a peace is in my heart that i can't really explain, cause the situation that i faced with isn't that good. So i choose to believe in God and commit this whole situation into His hand. So the bus came at 7:52am and when i got up the bus, a 3min ride to uni become 5min as the bus drive very carefully with the interested of all the passengers in that bus. So when i got to the uni bus stop, i walk quickly to the exam hall, and when i reach the exam hall, it was 8am and the examiner just closed the door before i can reach the door. Then i open the door to get into the exam hall, then the examiner ask me what subject i'm taking and ask me to go out with her. For a moment, i thought, i'm just only late for 2min max, still able to sit for the exam right? Then when we are outside, she told me, "Somehow, the UQ examination make a mistake, there isn't enough exam paper for my subject and they are going to print it now." She lead me to another room where i saw another 7 of us who are taking that same subject. Then an examiner explain to us that we will be given the same time as the other student who are taking the exam now. And ask us to wait until the exam paper comes. At that time, when everyone outside the room is very stress and wondering why will this type of thing happen, but i'm the only one that is having a smile on my face. Actually i'm quite happy that this situation happen. So in the end i started my exam at 8:45am instead of 8am and ends my exams at 10:25am instead of 9:40am. I was so happy. Cause i did a similar one before, when it starts at 8am and finished at 9:40am, my brain is totally blank until about 9am then only i start to really answer the question more effectively. As i result the first one, i didn't do well for that paper. So this time, when it starts at 8:45am, i actually have more effective time in doing my exam, even this time i will be harder a bit and more challenging questions as compare to the previous one. It is very rare to what i know that exam starts at 8:45am, maybe an exam may starts at 8am or a few min after 8am, if there is some delay in getting as the examiner explain the uni policy.
I don't know what will be the outcome of that exam, but i have the peace that in times of trouble and challenges, i will know that my God is with me thru it, as my God is one who really loves and cares for His people. A God that will hears the things the His people made to Him. There is no other God that does that.
When i know i need to take exam, i prayed that God, if it is possible can it not be 8am paper. Then when exam timetable came out, it is 8am paper, i was like oh my gosh, not again, 8am paper.
