a hall of laughter and of tears.
the time has come to face your fears.
will you fail or will you pass?
the verdict sealed on a slip of green.

how many essays have you penned,
how many cuttings do you owe?
how many lectures have you skipped,
how many tutorials have you done?

this is when it all will show,
the way you've spent your time.
at your computer killing things,
or at your table solving things.

with the green slip in your hand,
As and Bs or Cs and Ds?
you can blame or thank no one,
for you chose the path of which you're on.


watching the release of results today was very thought-provoking. if i were the one getting my results, i'd sure as hell be staring at a row of Ds or worse, for all the effort i've put in. i realised, that if i hope to attain straight As, as is tradition in my family, i'd have to start getting serious. today the reality and urgency of the A's in nine months hit me hard. playtime is over.
