The moment the last paper is over, I am going to step outside the examination hall and give out the loudest yell that I can muster. This will be the yell that will tell the world that the examinations are over. The months of toil, sweat and tension have ended and it is time for joy and celebration.

Then, my friends and I will head straight to our favourite Mall to just chill out- This will mark the beginning of my celebrations of the end of these cruel examinations.

 When I would reach home after all this fun, I would get hold of a largo cardboard box into which I would dump all my textbooks, revision books, exercise books and other paraphernalia. No reminder of the past months of slogging would be allowed to remain on my table. Instead 1 would put a vase of flowers, some novels and other general books on the table. The box of school books would be put into the remotest corner of my room and left there for as long as possible, preferably forever.

After tiding up my room I would go to the video shop and borrow ail the CDs 1 wanted to watch but did not had the time to watch earlier then I will spend the next few days doing nothing but watching these CDs. I only hope my eyes can holdout that long.

My friends and I have already planned to go camping for a week after the examinations, This, we would do, only after I have watched all the CDs that I wanted to- We would cycle to the seaside that is about twenty miles from our town, There, we would spend one whole glorious week frolicking under the sun. I must be careful not to get sunburned, as happened the last time I went camping, it was a painful experience. So this time 1 would ensure that I have ample supply of suncreen lotion. Of course, we would have to bring all the necessary things for camping, like tents, sleeping bags. cooking utensils and the most important of all, food. I have no explanations for the fact that camping always seems to make me hungry all the time. So we would take along enough food to last us a week.

By the end of the week, we would be nicely tanned, or burned, and we would all be very tired. On reaching home there would be only one sensible thing to do, that is to take a nice long rest in bed. for a day or so. This would allow me to recover my strength for the final item in my celebration list—the tour of the whole country.

I have always wanted to visit the famous places in my country. I have not done so because I was too young. However, since this would probably be my last year in school, my parents have allowed me to go hitch-hiking around the country, on condition that I have a partner Fortunately, I managed to convince one of my good friends to accompany me. If everything goes according to plan, I would spend the next month travelling and learning more about our lovely country. There are so many sights to see and I intend to see most of them. Just thinking of them makes me impatient. So the moment these examinations are over, our fun-time begins.
