To put it very crudely and succinctly, "shit's getting real". as time continues its steady and emotionless march, stress starts to creep into people's minds. some of us fall prey directly, sinking into hopelessness and despair. others get hit by the ricochets, as panic-stricken parents start using desperate measures to counter these very desperate times. to a certain extent, everyone has been burned. all of a sudden, half-forgotten rumours of seniors completely breaking down under the pre-A level pressure become much more convincing than just mere rumours. as a mere student and a fellow cog in the clockwork of the system, i don't have much advice to offer, except maybe to take comfort in the knowledge that you are definitely not alone. no matter how lonely you feel you are, your friends will be somewhere out there fighting the battle with you.
97 days, guys. and that's not yet counting the actual duration of the A levels. it's gonna be a 4-month blitzkrieg, but at the end of it all victory awaits. ready your victory flags, because i don't want to see a single white flag out there.
