Post-Prelims

Finally, it's over, for now. How can I adequately describe the feeling of writing the last sentence of the last paragraph of the last essay, knowing that in less than a minute the announcement to stop writing will come? I think it can be described as sheer relief. Like a load off your back.

At last the prelims are over. I guess it's fitting that the last paper should be the hardest. Go out guns ablazing eh? But in any case, I truly thank God for seeing me through this stressful and tiring period. The grades, come as they may, are now entirely in His hands. Whatever doubts I have about the papers are, well, unimportant right now. Not like they can do anything. Now, for the next week or so I shall rest and relax. Ahh... It's nice to spend a weekend knowing you have nothing to do after it.

So after the paper yesterday I went off to church for the concert thanksgiving dinner. Not without a final crisis unfolding first of course, which thankfully had a happy ending. After that I went back to chat and eat with the cell. It's always nice to be back in the company of people with a common love. I liked the videos the media team created for each of the dances. Too bad there was nothing about the poets, but then again, filming someone speaking isn't exactly prime-time material. Then we went off to Macs for some supper and more senseless banter, and finally back home. For once, a peaceful sleep undisturbed by thoughts of the morrow. Ignorance, thy name is bliss.

I feel the urge to debate. Maybe now is the time to consider more unpleasant matters eh, owen? Hmm, but that would be ironic in the light of my last paragraph, haha.
