In the midsts of prelims

It's really amazing how time flies. Just a while ago, we were all preparing like mad for prelims, and suddenly, we've already crossed the half-way mark. Now, we have a long weekend break until tuesday. Yay! Ok, the past 7 papers were varied, some brought discouragement (e.g. Physics 1, GP 2), while some others brought extreme discouragement (e.g. Maths 1). Finally, I have an extended weekend to rest. Yay!
Prelims haven't been a bed of roses, obviously, but God has been there for me when I needed Him. He never promised that I would do well, but he has said "My grace is sufficient for you," and that is all that matters. All God wants from me is to give my best for Him, and let him take care of the rest. "And the peace of Christ which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus," I feel that this is a wonderful promise from God, something for all of us to remember in the midst of prelims. May we all give our best for His glory.

And by the way, I noticed something during prelims that seems different. After the papers are collected, and when the invigilators are taking their time to count the scripts, the hall seems a bit....quiet. I mean, during the 2 term exams and promos, the hall would be buzzing with chatter which can sometimes reach the volume of the void deck, that is, until the CPE goes to the mic and tells everyone to shut up. For prelims, everyone seems, like so obedient, probably due to the area cleaning "incentive", but well, this is not in any way a bad thing, it's just something that I've noticed, and I'm rather curious about, but never mind.

Wishing everyone in the midst of prelims all the best. God Bless!
