The first June Exam

Chapter 8: The first June Exam 

I was ready to pull my hair out...Exams where just so stressful; the university jammed all our modules on after the other. I didn't know what to study 1^st , which book to focus on, there were slides and tuts to go through it was just too much .In high school the teachers told us what to study with a detailed breakdown down.

I asked a lecturer what we must learn for Math his was like everything and gave us textbook page numbers that was almost 400 pages and economics was a whole textbook we only had 6 months of campus but it like 3 years of high school work slammed in half a year but in more detail.

That was just 2 modules, I still had to revise all those diagrams and programs for computers plus I still hadn’t open the book for two other modules, my brain was fried, every time I started studying I drifted of into another land where there was no exams or I start complaining to a friend on BBM , from there I end up in a ‘Snap war’ or on Facebook… 2 hours later, I’m too tired and promise to study harder tomorrow but then 2 levels of Candy Crush turns into 10 and your whole day is gone …

It was the morning of my 1st paper ... I was probably having the worst day .No I’m not been a drama queen

I first over slept, which meant I could not revise the last chapter I left ,I was up till 1 a.m trying to cram anything in my brain ...no amount of almonds was going to help me.

After having a cold shower- someone decided to have a pamper bath this morning.

  I went downstairs only to have hot milk spilled over me by Ibrahim , when I finally redress and was ready to go my mother started complaining I made a big mess by leaving all my papers in the dining room , well
To make matters worse my car wouldn't start the battery was giving trouble .

To make it even more unlucky my mother phoned auntie fathi to ask her if Taahir could give me a lift because my dad had left and Yumnah was not awake yet ,she need her car to do some shopping with Gori Kala later and had a cooking lesson in an hour …

She kindly agreed I wasn't too happy as I successfully avoided Taahir at all costs this week , now I had a 5 minute drive with the dude , I was ready to cry

I quietly jumped in the back seat checked I had everything and pulled out a sheet pretending to revise my work  

‘Sara..”  Taahir called as we where on our way to campus “I don't know what you over heard that day…”

I continued ignoring him how on earth was I going to explain this one to him .

“About what you heard that day…” he said

I looked up to reply and my stomach made the biggest roar, Oh! Crap with all this drama I forget to eat... Red in the face I picked up my head to find Taahir laughing ... and toss me a bag of chips.

“That was my after paper snack but looks you need it more”

Why does this drive feel more than 5 minutes ?

I quietly whispered “Is that story about Aminas husband really true?. ...”
