The worst thing that can happen to you in an exam hall is the sudden realisation that you have forgotten to get your watch. And it is more than dreadful because you must force your already occupied little brain with another vital decision. You should get up from the seat and fetch that watch from your dorm. As you run through the daunting logistics of the process, you slowly give in to the laziness borrowed from the intense session of fast study and the sleepless previous night. That may be your biggest mistake.
Even though you easily convince yourself that there are always other instruments that will keep a check on the time you have in hand, nothing indeed does so. You can only ask the invigilator once, owing to the public nuisance you could become. Although if you are "the extroverted" who does not care much about the issue, you realise that there is only a certain number of times you can ask someone time. If the odds are in your favour, the sweet person sitting beside you might offer to keep hers on the desk, allowing you to steal a glance whenever you need to. But in that case, you owe them a huge treat.
The final part of this herculean adventure is the last ten minutes of the paper when you have to struggle through another critical decision. When do you stop thinking about the question you are stuck at and start scribbling all the rubbish you know? And this is when you have an impulse every second to peep at the watch because your mind promises you it will slow down as you look at it. And without the watch, you cant certainly ever be happy about what you have done; you are always a bit too early or too late.
Watch this next time.
