The bad word that starts with an E

Mr Bean writing an exam...

Mr Bean comes by car to his exam eagerly, to not be late. He seems quite nervous...
At the start of the exam, when he sits down, and speaks with his partner, he appears very self-confident (too much maybe...). They talk about their revisions : Mr Bean concentrated one's revisions on trigonometry whereas his partner was concentrated on calculus. Even if they look confident, both of them are a bit anxious about the exam question.
Mr Bean closes the discussion saying calculus was the exam subject of the last year : he worries a bit more his partner and try to reassure himself.
Then, he prepares his pens (all of his pens!) and get his lucky charm and a big alarm clock out of his briefcase.
During the exam, at the beginning he's neurotic and reads very quickly the exam question...  He's immediately panicked and almost terrified by the question... He can't answer and decided to cheat cribbing from his partner. He uses a lot of implausible techniques to see the answers on his partner's sheet.
He's so in despair that he falls crying, calling his mum... and stay sleeping on his blank sheet.
Towards the end of the exam, Mr. Bean realizes there were two exam questions : one of calculus and one of... trigonometry ! He goes mad !!! He's too under stress to write because he have to stop two minutes later... (Stupid Mr. Bean !).



 Me, at the start of an important exam...

When I have an important exam, I prefer come early but not too early, to not have to speak with my partners; because is often in this moment that we put us under stress talking about revisions, exam questions … I prefer stay alone, concentrated and I try to stay self-confident of my revisions.

To reassure me, the day before I always prepare my pens, a watch and a bottle of water with some biscuits… If I panic during the exam, I know that I can eat or drink a little to cheer me.

When I sit down, I often feel nervous. I’m in a hurry to start because it’s always in waiting moments that I become anxious! I try to concentrate me on my breathing or try to not think that is an important exam... I think also that all my partners are in the same situation of me… I think that I learn my lessons and I can pass…

When the exams start, I forget all of this thoughts (I almost forget that there are other people near me!) and I only concentrate on the exam question and the watch to finish in time.

That's me !

* If I were an animal, ...
                                 ... I would be a bird (a swallow for example) to see the earth from the sky when I want, to travel with the seasons, to sing and talk cheerfully, to collect smiles and announce spring times...






* If I were an object, ...
       ... I would be a cup (a cup o coffee, tea or herbal infusion as you want) to listen carefully stories, with a piece of chocolate!




* If I were a quote, ...
                              ... I would say : " Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." [Gandhi]


* If I were a language, ...
                                   ... I would be the music or the eyes to communicate with all the peoples.

* If  I were a super-heroine, ...

                                                                                     ... I would change the world of course !

* If I were Lisa 10 years later, ...
                                            ... I would be a teacher, always with a lot of projects in my head...


* But I am Lisa, ...
                          ...  I'm just a human who's 20 years old (considered like a young human by scientific studies). I'm a girl (what's a girl ? Er... that is an other question !).
I study Spanish language, letters and civilization in France.
I love travelling... in my minds or around the world, on foot or bike. I'm very fond of  mountains... running, climbing, skiing, to spend time in the nature... I enjoy the music, books and movies worlds...
(I like chocolate and I hate spiders.)
And I just try to understand better the world where I live and  be the change I want to see in the world...

That's me... I think...
