The 10 Commandments of Exams

1. Thou shalt wear only pyjamas, tracksuit pants and hoodies. Thou shalt not wear make up nor do thine hair.

2. Thou shalt stare blankly at thine notes for 10 minutes, then take a hour-long study break.

3. Thou shalt drink far too much coffee/tea/Red Bull, get high on caffeine, and pee all the time.

4. Thou shalt complain endlessly on Facebook about the impending exams and how little studying you are doing.

5. Thou shalt insist that thine study break ends at 10:30, but only return to work at 11:00.

6. Thou shalt not understand any of thine notes written during the year, and shall vow to improve thine handwriting next year.

7. Thou shalt regret all those readings that thou did not do.

8. Thou shalt be distracted by the smallest things, including the Internet, plucking thine eyebrows, painting thine nails and watching that fascinating bug on the windowsill (side note: I named him Harry).

9. Thou shalt walk out of the exam venue shaking thine head and proclaiming that thou is bound to fail.

10. Thou shalt be highly surprised when thou actually passes the exam.
