Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer. Charles Caleb Colton

Tomorrow's the last exam: International Law-II and so the right time for this post.
syn·drome: noun : a group of signs and symptoms that occur together and characterize a particular abnormality or condition.
I'm not quite sure if I can claim to've coined the phrase which serves as the title of this post but I've through experience recognised several constituents of this syndrome and quite a few of my classmates agree with me.
- Irrespective of the exam scheduled on the last day (whether it's DPC or Torts) you find it doubly hard to concentrate (on the day before the exam).
- Images of home, your last vacation et. al. become very vivid even though you know you'll head for some other city for an internship - particularly true in the case of people like me who hail from obscure places- place seems to be a better word ... I don't really know if my place qualifies as a city.
- You tend to spend a lot more time in sipping coffee/tea (in the mess or outside).
- You derive some strange comfort from gazing at the train/air-ticket.
- You discover a brilliant song which has been lying in your laptop for ages but never found a place in your playlist.
- You tend to be unnaturally calm in the face of load of untouched (leave alone reading it) material for the last exam.
I'll extend this list some other time. It just occured to me ... damn, where did I keep my tickets?
