the fever
overwhelming nervousness.
constant mental tiredness
fear of screwing up.
trembling hands, sweating foreheads
butterflies in stomach.
notes flying everywhere
last minute study dates here and there
best-of-luck handshakes
and then, clicking pens
and scratching correction tapes
the clock ticks,
every second is precious
to search answers
for the subject papers
"time's up, pens down!"
a sigh of relief
one down, few more to go
everybody sits and wonder when it will all be over.
this is, the exam fever.
