Invigilating Exam

My first official job after being a research student, is to take over Douglas to invigilate exam. The exam was in F3C09, a big classroom. At first, I was just OK since I got nothing to do and it's only 1 slot of 2 hours. Until I saw the modules, it's Polymer Engineering and Finite Element Analysis and 2 other modules, this should be very interesting.

I don't wear formal by the way:

It was quite a while since I wake up early for work, reach the room at 9 am and there was only me and Priscilla (another invigilator), the lecturer is also invigilating for the first time. After distributing the exam papers, we let the students on. Haha, I'm handling almost 140 students, 1 absent.

Well, my job is basically walking around make sure that they don't cheat. When they need to use the washroom, I need to "accompany" the guyz. Not too bad, I made some new friends too. One even asked "Are you a lecturer? You look very young." *syok*

I noticed students are really funny when they are having exam. There are some that layout their pens on the desk, like their from a stationary shop. There's another one that just keep on staring at me with a blur face (dunno he stress or what). I saw a student keeping time with a gold pocket watch, I guess it's something meaningful to her.

Something like this:

When the exam starts, I prayed for them in the room (silently). The stressful atmosphere is so dense, one of them even keep on asking me how much time left. I actually helped a few of them about technical stuffs if they asked, since I did the paper before.

Stress~ Stress~ Stress~

Just a little note for those who are still facing the giant. Keep your concentration and don't be distracted, it's just one week more. I know it's hard but it's now or never! There are people praying for you and your exam around, all the best.

Something to destress, after this, please go back and study ^_^


"This is the day the LORD spoke of when he said to you, I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish."
-1 Samuel 24:4-

Once again I'm praying for the students here that are taking exam. Pray that LORD, You will guide them and give them wisdom, the determination to break through this hardship. For all the achievements we've made, it's for Your glory. Even though it's not as what we wished, we will still praise You. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
