it's just not giving like i'm running out of time i need to go so i'm just gonna leave it like this
and i'm gone i hope this exam goes well need to pass needs to be excellent
i used to smoke girl in the shed women in my head i was short-sighted
fighting what i believe and got personal in these verses the [ __ ] was what i needed opened up
and had to cry leaning and try to talk after and they stood me up it's the same base of me
hi besties that exam was interesting i feel like it's one of those
where it could really go in either direction it's either like i did i'm not gonna say extremely well
it's either i did like a little bit above average or i did like horribly i
it's done though it's done though that's what matters now i'm gonna
i thought i was gonna go into upper campus today to study but i'm just gonna
rest um i'm gonna cook i think and then i might do some laundry i don't
i might do some laundry and then i'm just gonna chill and study later on this night
but just felt and study later on last night but yeah it was i don't know i don't know i i don't
want to get my hopes up too high and i don't want to be too negative either um i truly do not know
we'll see i just want to say don't mistake it for me talking louder the wrong way
hi everyone i hope that this lighting is good i am literally burning and i've put my phone
in a sock because that's what i see a lot of people doing for better audio so i hope this
i hope that this helps and hopefully i'll be able to sync my audio um to the camera so that the
audio is better hopefully but i am here to speak about the [ __ ] show that my exam season became
after i wrote that last the the previous exam so basically after that everything went downhill
and i'm here to speak about what happened and not how i could have prevented it but how i can do
better next time hi i'm changing the sock because this white is just not giving the first exam
where i everything started going downhill was my south african private law exam and ciao
the main problem for this exam is that i didn't i didn't prepare enough i wasn't well prepared
because tell me why i get to the exam and i open the question paper and the
first question is something from a tutorial that we had done that we were told to focus
on and i didn't so i'm opening the exam paper first question i'm blank i'm starting to panic
fine and this exam was like late during the day okay fine um i kind of skipped
that whatever whatever try to pull stuff from somewhere and then i get to the part of the exam
which were like mini essays so sorry i'm looking at myself not at the camera which were many essays
so um they were like 10 marks each whatever and there was a 30 more question i skipped a 30 mark
question it was a case case no question i did not know the case i did not know the case and it
wasn't um the situation where you can just kind of guess things well i did guess a two-mark question
but that was about it um and i was like i have literally never seen this case before in my life
so i was like fine um i left the exam early because i was like even if i tried to guess
for 30 marks i literally couldn't guess anything so i left the exam venue i called my friend i'm
like yeah like i [ __ ] up um and then later during on there was like a thing with people
in the group saying that they also didn't know the case so i felt less alone and there were a
lot of people saying they skipped the question and now they're trying to get like a remark or like i
don't know if they're going to take the question out because a lot of people did not know that that
case i don't know what's happening with that but so the next exam was my politics exam and it was
online thankfully and i felt kind of prepared for this exam even though i didn't really study for it
but throughout the semester i was keeping track of stuff because they had a lot of
like weekly quizzes that we had to do so i wasn't really bamboozled i wasn't shocked
you know i kind of knew the work i got in there um and we had like one essay and the
rest of the questions were like multiple choice questions i feel like i did well um
so yeah the only thing the only problem with this exam is that i literally did it at like
2 a.m in the morning and then i had to sleep and my next and then when i woke up i slept like
three hours and then when i woke up i had to go to my next exam so it was really stressful
i was drinking a lot of energy drinks through this period it was not a fun time and then
i did my portuguese written exam i love my professor that paper i think that was
easily the best paper i've ever written in university like we so this year for portuguese
i'm doing mainly literature so we read a lot of short stories i'm speaking like probably 16
short stories that we did it was a lot um so i couldn't get time to go through all of them in
depth but that ended up not mattering and because she really asked kind of like basic questions
and then the essay topics that she gave us the choices were excellent the only problem is i
almost ran out of time because we had to write like an 800 word essay which is not a lot it's
not a lot if you're writing in english but if you're writing it in portuguese it's like girl
we she told us to bring dictionaries so we all had dictionaries and i was
flipping through that thing like every minute or a second trying to find the
words that i was trying to use but i ended up having like 700 and something words so i was
i was happy with that the last exam is foundations of south african law which
it was okay i also didn't really prepare well for that but i feel like
it was fine so i feel like i used to like but i don't like anymore because why are you giving
me 50 multiple choice questions in one test one exam like i was mad uh yeah that exam was a mid it
was like five out of ten you know the experience five out of ten so closing remarks final thoughts
everyone that i've spoken to about this semester did not enjoy it i don't think
it was a fun time for anyone we were not thriving it was not festive i think that
and you know the worst thing is i don't think it's second semester is gonna be better
um so for me personally notes for me is just i just need to start taking my work more seriously
and i've realized the thing about law now is it's it's you can do the work you can do the
readings you can feel like you understand things but you also might be hundred percent wrong about
your understanding of things and the way that you feel like you you've taken in the information
because my first my first law test i was like yeah i'm so really like i know the work and i left that
exam venue feeling so happy about myself i was like yes and then my mark came back and i was like
what's what's a giving so i think from next semester i really just need to
i don't even know what i can do i just need to
probably do more practice questions and look at past papers and stuff like that and just go over
my work more than once like repetition and stuff like that i feel like that will help me because
this term i had semester i had no extra time to go over my work again after i went um through my work
in class and then also um i think this coming semester everything is going to be in person so
that last semester i had to go on to campus like four times a week because they were the
classes were also being uploaded online which i thought was good at first but then towards the end
i ended up not attending any classes at all because i was like everything's gonna be
online which i feel like going in person really like forces you and it puts that pressure on you
to be up to date so that's what i think i'm gonna do and then also not like mess around i actually
need to focus on my work but and also i have two jobs so that was also taking up my time um
so i need to actually prioritize you know my work and the hair is dying out but it's fine i'm not
even gonna put more wood because i am burning so i feel like that will help me next semester and also
to be more consistent on youtube because the reason why i haven't uploaded on so long
is because i was so burnt out by the time the semester ended i was like i really don't want
to do anything i just want to chill and every time i open my laptop to edit i just wasn't up
to it so then i was like okay i'm just not i'm just not gonna upload a video and that's that so
actually let me let me put wood okay so that's gonna come back on but yeah i hope that if
anyone's in first year or anything or anyone's thinking about coming to university i hope that
they learn from my mistakes and actually prep well over prepare for your exam
actually that's my new mantra from next semester i'm gonna over prepare for everything because
