Goodbye, Prelims

PRELIMS ARE OVERRRRRR!!

 

I must say, these 2 weeks of prelims have been hell for me.

It's not just because of the studying (well, that plays a part too),

but it's mostly because my body was staging a rebellion against me.

 

I don't know if it's something I ate or it's because I'm nervous about
taking exams, but last week was a week of consistent morning diarrhoea.

URGH.

 

I figured that it could be due to the stress cuz I only had diarrhoea on weekdays.

Just as I thought I had recovered this week, BAM!

Had migraine on the last day of prelims.

 

Thanks body, best gift ever.

 

I think it's the first time I ever had such a bad migraine.

 

My last paper was at 2:30pm today and I woke up early,
thinking of doing some last minute revision before the test.

But after I set the timer, I realised the words looked kinda funky
and I couldn't really see my right hand which was holding the pencil.

 

Of course I freaked out la.

 

I thought there was something wrong with my vision lol.
Scared the crap out of me.

 

That was for my right eye.
At the same time, my head was kinda throbbing on the left side.
I didn't really think much of it at first because I thought it was cuz of my new pimple
which was growing under my left eyebrow LOL.

 

But being the paranoid me, I went to Google "side vision, headache"
and some of the search results suggested that I was having ocular migraine.

 

Turns out that what I really had was a "migraine with aura",

according to some medical sites I read.

 

Having a blind spot (when I couldn't see my hand) is one of the few possible early
symptoms that often begins about 30min or less before the headache.
My left temple hurt so much that I couldn't do anything,

and while I tried to take a nap to relieve the pain I couldn't fall asleep because it hurt so badly.

 

After a while, I vomited my breakfast.

When I puked a second round, I finally went to see the doctor to get some medicine.

 

It was about 2 hours left till my paper and I didn't know if the medicine would work
in time for me to take the paper without the stupid headache.

 

I ate extremely little for lunch because I had no appetite but I had to eat something
before taking the medicine.

 

5min later, I puked all my lunch + my pill for migraine.

 

LOL now that I think about it, that image was kinda gross but funny cuz the pill was
colourful and it was just floating about in my puked lunch.

 

Okay okay too much info sowee haha.

 

I think I'm just damn freaking suay luh.

 

Thankfully the migraine was almost gone by the time I went for my exam,
just that halfway through the paper I was kinda sleepy haha.

 

Hopefully I didn't do too badly for my prelims lol.

Meanwhile... 38 DAYS TILL As.
Dear body, please have some mercy on me during As ok?

 

Sigh, I miss those days when the end of EOY = HOLIDAY MODE ON.
So jelly when I see juniors relaxing after their exams :(

 

Prelims may be over, but this war ain't over yet.

GAMBATTE EVERYONE!
