A Numb Thumb After...


Exam Season!

But its almost over!

Almost.

Technically, we've got 4 more papers to go, but to me, its only 2 more! 'Cos I really don't wanna care after tomorrow's papers.

Biology on Tuesday like totally destroyed any little motivation I had left inside me. It was terrible, really bad. Almost all the questions were experiment-based. As in, I don't find that any of the memory work we'd done before was put into good use. It was more analytical. What's more, there were practically no questions based on the last few chapters on Sex and Fertilisation in Flowers and People, which was so sickening 'cos we all thought they were like the 'hot' topics. (ha, no pun intended!)

So basically after Biology's discouraging turn, I decided that I'd slack. I know, I've got like zero discipline lah.

It's close to 10 now and I've wasted my entire midday doing nothing. I mean, I've done my revision previously, but really gotta refresh tonight lah. Guess the coffee that Mum bought is gonna keep me alive for the next few hours.

Oh yeah, and the most irritating thing of all, is that I've got a bloody numb thumb since Monday's Social Studies paper. Since then, the "numb-ness" I get on my right thumb's been there. It's damn painful and I'm beginning to think that its starting to get dangerous, 'cos its like I can't really feel heat, and I could very well get scalded if I touched a hot thing with my thumb without realising.

It's like as if the sensory neurones in my right thumb are stunted or something!

I guess its really the way I write. I'm exerting far too much pressure and pressing down with too much strength. And the way I hold my pen, and how fast I need to write when time's runnign out.

You know when its like the last few seconds of the bloody paper and you're like freaking out. Very common, I tell you. Stuff like "Oh! I only had 15 minutes for my 30 mark Essays!" happens. It gets worrying, and especially when you've got a thumb that can't grip the bloody pen properly, it spells disaster I tell you.

So I've been bearing with this bugging numb-ness lah. It really gets in the way. I can't SMS properly 'cos I need my right thumb, I can't type the keyboard's 'space' key quick enough 'cos I need my right thumb, I can't press the shampoo outa its dispenser fully 'cos I need my right thumb, I can't flip my textbook pages individually 'cos I need my right thumb, I can't feel much 'cos I need my right thumb.

I need my bloody right thumb back!

It's as if it took a little vacation away after being so pissed with serving me dutifully.

Overworked. Overused. Overstressed.

That bloody right thumb! I didn't realise it'd make such a difference!
