3 more to go!!

At last, my first major exam is over! Praise God! I'm so happy right now...i'm feeling so light ... and even my husband told me that i'm glowing. Well, who wouldn't be? It's another achievement! After almost a week of thorough study, going from one page to another and back again to check if the information absorption has been successful and actually retained in my head.. then try to answer past sample questionnaires to test my comprehension and composition ability, whew!! WHEW!! - that's the first thing i could say. As i have mentioned in my earlier blog, i have not been on studies for 10 years now and going back to text books again is difficult. Praise God for going through the journey with me. I really felt His presence every step of the way.

In this exam, we were not allowed to write our names on our booklet, only the ID number. I didn't know that there was already an allocated desk for each one of us. I just comfortable sat on the desk that i selected. I didn't know that there would be an ID number on top of each desk that should match ours. Then later on, we were told to make sure that the number on the desk matches our ID numbers. When i checked it, I was surprised to have actually sat on the desk with my corresponding CIM student number on it without having to look for it... no wondering some people took some time in selecting their desk... I just smiled upon knowing that i actually sat on the desk that was intended for me. Hmm... looks like it's just gonna get better :-)

The exam took 3 hours. Started sharp at 9.30am and finished sharp at 12.30. It was 3 hours of non-stop writing. Every answer was written in 'report' style. There was hardly enough time to write all the answers let alone pause and recall information. So it was important that the information/answers flow while you write.

It was a different experience again.. it's like being in school but i have never been this nervous at all in my entire school days. I guess because during that time, i was still oblivious of the consequences.. but this time i'm more concerned and involved. Well.. well.. 3 more to go next year!!! It's exciting yet nerve wrecking - but that's what life is made of... different emotions. That's what makes our life richer and more fulfilling.

God allowed yet another beautiful happening to take place in my life. I'm forever grateful.
