Exam was fast approaching I am a busy workaholic, and I had 2 weeks left to
Start preparing for my exam, I do side joband am a part-timer I use it to be able to pay my school fees, Exam was approaching I haven't made the necessary preparation yet, such as school fees, documents being submitted and so much more.

All this burden is always stressful and I just told them recently I will be taking off and going for my exam on the due date which they have permitted me to go, but before then I had to submit my documents and go pay my school fees to the one in charge of doing all those things for me.

I was trying to find a way for me to have a chance to leave during my weekday but I couldn't even see a little chance cause I already told them at work I would be taking leave from work so I can't just take off right immediately they wouldn't grant me since I already put on a request.

I just had to wait till my off day it was weekend the day I would be receiving my off day to go start exam 3 days remaining I had to carry my document to bursary offices to get it stamp which is somewhere around the campus I left work much more early on Friday cause once I miss that day I would forever miss it and I would have to do it on Monday Exam day which was not possible the fear of me missing it that day was in mind. I was quickly rushing to get to the Campus cause I have to get my document stamp not to miss such important thing I dash off immediately from work around 3pm hoping to not be caught off in traffic and I have two hours to reach school.

The moment I reach motor park to board vechicle heading towards my school it wasn't filled yet I was so worried sick every minute counted was part of it, I couldn't wait any longer I came down and started running to the free road cause there was even traffic on the road is weekend so we expected to see a lot of traffic on the road I started running to the free road where by am likely to see a passing vechicle to onboard rather than waiting at the motor park, God 30 mins was far spent I saw a moving vechicle coming and I on onbaorded it, I think I made the wrong choice cause the vehicle I onboarded was faulty I almost stared crying I was praying to God please do not let anything happens to this vehicle and the driver on the otherhand was moving slowly to avoid breaking down of the vehicle.

I on the other hand was shouting at the driver to please move this vehicle fast I was racing with time it was during that time 1 hour 30 mins was far spent I had to reach school before 5:00p, The time was 4:30pm the driver manage to reach somewhere close to my school before vehicle breakdown the moment it broke down I dash off started running like flash just to meet the lecturer who will stamp on my file I was running as hell to reach there people started gazing at me I didn't even bother I am the one that knows where it itching me in the body.

I was able to reach exactly 5:00pm on dot but the lecturer was no where to be found I almost cried God with all these suffering I couldn't even meet the lecturer would I have to go do it on exam day like this fear elude my mind with the thought of redoing it on exam day I couldn't let this happens I looked around and notice the lecturer bag was still there as I was about to turn he came in I greeted sir Good afternoon he looked at me and greeted back why am I sweating like this I replied him I have been waiting for him to stamp my form and all that he replied and said he went to the restroom I should bring it that he is about to leave I was so happy I quickly gave it to him and he stamped on it just in time I had done what needed to be done so I can pay my school fees the next day which was Saturday and I did all that got my docket for Exam I sat with those writing the exam on Monday I was save in time.

Your story really showed the stress before exams. The way you rushed from work, battled traffic, onboarded a faulty vehicle, and still made it on time for your lecturer to stamp the document kept me hooked till the end.

That was definitely your unlucky day. From waiting for your work leave to be granted to the whole traffic and then a faulty bus.... I just can't imagine what would have happened had it been the lecturer had closed for the day.
It's such a relief that you made it on time and wrote your exams.
It's better to begin preparations earlier rather than the die minute.
