Emergency - Distress

in the midst of exams.. what am i doing then? d-i-s-t-r-e-s-s.

Distress occurs in the simultaneous emergency - one emergency leading to another emergency. And in my case, I'm facing distress.

1st emergency: luck rupture
Paper 1 (Children's Adventure Tales) - totally stunned by the 40 MCQs. knowing nothing about 2 storybooks which constitute to 50% of MCQs aint a wise method of preventing emergency.

2nd emergency: explosion of nerves
Paper 2 (Ship Management) - 'Kind' Cathrine set 3 out of 5 essay questions from a textbook that she hardly went through. Like how the heck would one know the importance of reading the book to prevent an emergency?

3rd emergency: lack of knowledge causing fatal miscommunication
Paper 3 (Malay Level 1) - spending 6 hours to study a language is the worst way of tackling a situation. 1st section of the paper already left 3 blanks (out of the 5). But thanks to Lishan still for saying TEBAL before the 5 min start of the paper.

4th emergency (today): collision of the brains
Paper 4 (Int'l Framework of Shipping) - trying hard to figure out which part of the notes the questions were asking. Structure of questions were too random and tremedous difficulties faced in attempting the questions. Last resort : 'any how bomb' - elaine.

Having analysed my situation, I'm in no doubt to be facing DISTRESS. A great one indeed - too many emergencies in a row. Another emergency is expected this coming Friday. What type of emergency would that be? Wish me luck.
