why do we have tests!![:(]

I have been at my place since Saturday.. Went to visit my friend and buy a book on Friday.. We will be having our sessionals from Tuesday and I am not prepared.. Nor I am in a mood to study... I have this strange theory.. I know what you are thinking, another boring theory.. No, its not!!
I live my life to its fullest and being a true science student, I present my theories for every small or big happenings..[;)]


This is the theory many of us believe in.. All those who don't love to study for tests present it at some point in their lives..
Its called 'The Theory of Deteriorating Interest'..
It states the more you read before the final exams, the more prone you are to feel bored during the final exams preparations thereby performing badly in the finals.. I always felt like that and I never wasted my energy preparing for the small tests that don't have to do much with our final result.. I thus hate this new concept crawling in our education system... The class performance based grading system.. I would have been crushed badly if I were to live in those circumstances.. I thank my starts for not putting me through this gruesome exercise!!


I wonder how the students cope up with this extra pressure of being sincere 24X7, while I prefer a few days of hard work to this faking throughout the year!! Study hard and fare well in exams while play and have fun throughout the year.. These are the years of careless existence while as adults we will be supposed to be 'Oh! so sincere employee'.. Hard working nerd who is 24x7 trying to put up a great image and work hard to earn a better position in the institution, so why spoil these amazing years by working 24x7 like a Donkey for grades.. If someone ever asks me for my opinion, it would always be against the class performance based grading system!!


I am having this persistent headache since Saturday [Yeah, may be the examphobia].. I slept through the day.. Doing nothing and just lying in bed, I didn't realise the time pass by.. I was thinking of studying a bit on Sunday to at least write a page in the test.. So, I thought of just going through a chapter.. But, as luck has it.. I didn't felt like studying after sometime.. I was tired and sleepy.. I received a text from Paro asking the same question I asked her on Friday, 'Do you know what to study from the book'??[:D] This is our pet question.. We ask each other this question whenever we start studying.. Be it a written exam, an oral test or a viva for the finals, we are always clueless about what is to be studied..[:D]


I read the text after quite sometime as I was sleeping.. I got a few more anxious texts from her and as I saw them after a few hours passed by, I thought of giving her a call.. I talked to her and we discussed how boring the subject was and how we were so disinclined to study even a page!!! As both of us came up with the same probable questions, we decided to prepare them and go.. I know she won't rest till she is prepared, but for me, its just fine to prepare those two questions!!


As I am thinking to at least give it a try, there is a war going on inside me.. The lazy me wants to sleep and enjoy the day at hand and flunk tomorrow while the other geeky me wants to take a plunge into the book and come out with some knowledge of the subject!!
As I try to resolve the conflict, I am signing out and what I did and who won, I would let you know soon..
