Exams, Pre and Post.

Exams are tough. We all know that. It feels like a soul sucking few weeks of sleepless nights, fully caffeinated drinks and further struggle with remembering vast amount of information. And oh the palpitations that follow up. I honestly saw my blouse move at some point with my heart rate. Had to give myself vagal massage because I thought i was having an arrhythmia(SVT lol since that's that one which has vagal massage as #1 step).
