This is it! The O level written exams start tomorrow and you can imagine the stress levels in the house.

GG is extremely stressed and it shows. She is now perpetually grouchy and annoyed at small things and seems to have forgotten to smile!

BB on the other hand is very chill. Yesterday I asked him if he was worried and he says, “Umm, both yes and no”. I have now started calling him Teflon Boy because nothing seems to stick to him.

I am thinking once the exams start, they take a life of their own and before we know it, we will be looking at the last exam and the holidays, but till then it’s stress town for us.

Please keep GG & BB in your prayers and send positive thoughts our way, if possible.

BB had his Physics and Chemistry practical exams this week and both the exams were apparently the toughest in recent times. In fact, according to a reddit thread, one student said their teacher said something similar had last come 24 years back! All the practical exams this year were very hard and now I am really worried about the written papers. Apparently the trend is for the exams to be set harder and harder each year and this year looks to follow the trend with exams looking to be the hardest this year.

We are now ten days away from the exams and to be honest, we just want the exams to start and then get over with. I know once the exams start, they will take a life of their own and then before we know it, we are at the last exam!

BB is currently now on his study break, but had to go to school a couple of times for lessons. GG on the other hand, still has school and will probably get study leave only sometime next week.

Have a great Sunday people! And if you are the praying sort, please send some prayers and positive thoughts our way so GG & BB do well in their exams.

GG had her school graduation this week and it was an interesting experience. As the guest of honour, they had an alumni over, someone who had graduated more than 10 years back from the school. This person had an interesting career path, from being an average student in school with not so stellar grades he went on to becoming the valedictorian for his university cohort and has achieved quite a bit in Poly and University. I enjoyed listening to him and hoped the class of 2019 took back from his speech.

BB has his graduation this week and that is also something I am looking forward to.

We are around three weeks to the O levels now and at this point, all I want is for it to get over!

Have a great Sunday people!!
