Roller coaster

Ever been on a roller coaster ride? How do you feel in the beginning? Excited? How bout when the ride brought you plunging down, sending your heart into your stomach? Fear? And when it stabilises again, relieved?

Notice how similar it is to taking an exam? One minute when you can't study anymore, when nothing seems to make sense, you start having thoughts...fear begins to creep in and then you decided to quit. It's like all of a sudden, your ride just plunge down and you want to step out. There might even be some regret. A moment later, as you try again and finding that you can solve some questions, you begin to see a ray of hope...like when the ride stabilises to give you time to catch your breath. You regain some self-confidence and decided to carry on. And the whole process repeats itself till it sucks up all your energy that you no longer feel any emotion and let it be.
