Dear Diary
It was a wonderful day and bad day for many. Majority saw hell and even broke into tears. Never have they ever felt humiliated by such a minute thing some say. It was a serious day with serious mindsets. The Friday was black. The hall was black, even the invigilators too were black. What a black Friday it was yesterday?. I also felt the heat but I'll spare you the details no doubt. I'll be talking about two days - Thursday and Friday. These two days were Examination days

Throwback Thursday |

I'll be doing a throwback of what happened on Thursday and then spell out what happened on Friday. It was a Thursday night. It's known that I do prep in school. My activities were done in school so morning found me well in school. I was still reading when it was dawn. So I left with my friend back to my coursemates house to stay as the exams was to commence by 11:30Am.
My eyes for the first time felt strained. It couldn't open again even with the fact that I forced it. The course we were to write wasn't difficult a course. It's just that we needed to cover some past questions to see how questions are asked in the course. Nature told me it can't be cheated. Guess what? I slept till it was time for the exams.
I wasn't that shocked because I prepared earlier. I took to leaving with my friends to the exams Venue which was held in a theatre. On leaving to enter a shuttle bus, I captured my friend trying to struggle with the material as it wasn't entering his head. On arriving school, I did what I knew how to do best.

pictures of the exams hall
I captured the exams hall we were going to write. It was a 600 seater hall and we're not even up to 350 students. The spacing was top notch. After the exams which ended well, I saw smiles on people's faces. They said; If only exams could be like this. I then took pictures of how happy we looked.

My friend bought chips for us so we'll use in doubling our steps. I felt so tired from the weakness I had before exams. I took pictures with my friend and the almighty hall we wrote the exams. My friends and I did lots of capturing before heading back to school.

On my way back to my friend's house, I bought some puff puff to eat with my friends as well. The puff puff was kind of different from any other puff puff we had tasted and we promise to patronise them next time. The only thing that scared me was the fact that it is an open source snacks. Flies could perch on it and leave. I then left no doubt and headed for my friend's house with them.

Guess who we encountered? We encountered dwings in an electrical shop were appliances, tools and other spoilt devices were worked on. We hailed him so much and shared funny moments together. He's a special character I must admit greatly. We also saw the development made on this road for the first time. If I'm to show you how this road was a year back, you won't believe it. The government has done greatly. Now there'slight and good roads

On arriving home, we prepared for the night, ate and then returned to school were we had to read for a course that may likely shake us. The course is quite simple but broad. All I did was to refresh my memory of things read. The night took us to a morning and BOOM, the almighty day arrived. Black Friday
A Black Friday |

It was a Friday morning, the morning that came after the previous day. We were excited we would finish half of our problems that day. I took to brushing and washing up in school since the exams was to commence by 8Am.. I had no time to take chances. I left the school and entered a shuttle of which I saw most of my coursemates ready to Murder the Course. Little did they know the unexpected would happen.

On reaching school, the lecturer didn't come in time so we used that opportunity in memorising certain things. These are pictures of my coursemates happy about everything, the atmosphere and ready to crush the Almighty 311. The lecturer of the course finally came with her invigilators. Nothing moved us. When i entered the exams hall, I saw how spacious it was but didn't give a damn as I was ready. We sat three per row and the spacing was four seats before the next person.

They did this to avoid copying and worst still, the exams hall was dark. You could barely see what you write and people from behind can't copy you as well because they won't see. The examination started in earnest and people were already panicking. At first, they were still not until most students were changed from their original seats to another. I could feel the anger burning deep down.

When the exams commenced, about 7 invigilators came to invigilate us, all standing at an angle that would prevent copying. The question paper was shared and most of what I read appeared. There were no new questions but I didn't study all the past questions. I knew 4 correctly out of 5. The 5th question was on probability bit I applied wisdom sha.
While still writing, a lot of people wereimplicated. The invigilators caught 13 students talking in the exams hall. They were told to fill examination malpractice form of which some cried while doing so. They begged for a second chance but to no avail. It was difficult for some to copy or even ask questions in the exams hall. Some ended up submitting blank as they knew almost nothing.
After the exams, there was wailing and shouting everywhere. Why? The lecturer in question asked most of her questions from previous years and most of these questions aren't in her lecture notes to students which made them annoyed. Only the smart ones who studied questions from previous years saw the advantage.
The exams was bloody said some people and most of us coincidentallywore black outfits. Indeed, it was a;
- black exams questions
- black exams hall
- black Friday..
I took pictures with my friends who were the energy givers to those mourning. They said; I have been murdered by the course. The course covered me. That was how the atmosphere was just solemn after exams. I did more of photographing to capture the moments.

I hurried back to my home town after spending 4 good days in school. I was damn hungry. I went back to where I would see greener pastures. Home sweet Home. I finally ate good food after a while.
I surf through the net and thought of resting but remembering there's a more Bigger course to face made me stand up on my toes. There's a picture I came across. It was my picture. I nearly cried seeing this picture and how small I looked some years back. This is me 5 years back and now.. Seriously, if growth was a person, it would be me.

MODs Comment/Recommendation:
Learning comes with it many curves my friend. I don't like writing exams you know but how then do we know one has learnt and can successfully practice all he has been taught. I think that's the essence of being subjected to exams. Am glad you're doing well with your exams, I can't but wish you the very best in your exams. My regard to your friends and colleagues.
