It never fully goes away, does it? It’s been years since I had to worry about exam results, yet for two consecutive Thursdays in August, every single year, I wake up feeling sick.
If anything, the sensation is worse this year.
The anxiety you feel from collecting exam results is peculiar. There is a sense that this is finally the moment you can stop holding your breath.
It feels as though this is the moment we are at with the virus too. Is this the moment we can finally stop holding our breath? If we stop too early we might drown and if we wait too long we might run out of breath and expire.
It’s not good to hold the breath for too long. The time from taking exams to getting the results is just about at the limit of human endurance, so I want to hope that everyone collecting results today can breathe again properly and doesn’t feel like they are drowning.
