It seems so surreal that this Saturday will be final exam, the topic being on Epistemology. By final exam, I mean that it will be the last examination paper I'll ever do, ending what would be 17 years of life as a student (the two years in the Army does not count)

Looking, this small paper of a module pales in comparison to the big exams I've had before. I can't remember my last PSLE paper in 1997, but I do remember passing it, being eligible to go to S.J.I., and ending up in my future class the last week of December, just before my vert first class in SJI. Years passed, and it was 2001... again a time I cannot remember well, since I can't recollect my last exam paper I did. But I remember the jubilation I ahd whenever I finished an exam paper, I remember the period as being my initial stps in apprectaiting anime, and the time when I started to enjoy studying in the library. The exams of 2001 and before it are long past me, a decade mired beneath a more recent decade.

Which brings me to 2004. I remember my vert first paper, a literature paper, and I can remember turning up late for that paper, and doing the best that I could with the limitation I imposed on myself. It seems ironic that, for the paper I turned up late in was the paper that got me through to NUS.

And then, NUS. A time when there's an exam every semester, but no 'big' final exam. Looking back, all those previous big papers seemed like big victories of sorts. But perhaps the journey will only have its true significance, when I don that robe and mortarboard, that final ceremony before I harken to the working world (and hopefully, still have time to write creatively)
