as the doors opened for us to exit the hall after physics paper 1 this morning, i thought i was looking into the mirror. a shocked expression. a face contorted in the knowledge that a serious irreversible mistake had been committed. it was flowing with the numbness and unrealness that accompanies the realization of the inevitable.

but i wasn't looking at myself. i was looking at another person. this young man, he missed paper one of physics, and he certainly didn't do that on purpose. he was just plain shocked. the fear in his eyes were palpable; they were wide with the fear of knowing what he feared would reality. indeed, the truth hurts. he missed paper1, he threw away 60 marks. and of all the people there today, i was the first to see him. the shock of seeing everyone leave the hall while u enter the hall cannot be described. you've got to miss your paper to understand.

he and i. i think we share similar sorrow today. i did my paper. i didn't fill in the answers. i took to the paper like a novice, as if it were my first time doing a multiple choice; i shaded just 15 of those 30 mandatory questions. but, his pain is worst than mine.

and as if it all weren't enough, my calculator played me out during paper 2. how's that for luck?
