Examination period in Belgium January was arrived, the examination period was going to start soon and I was going to take the hardest examen firstly. I'd been spent to much effort and time to study for that course. the problem was that I was not really confidente about my knowledge of it. Many information and formulas that I didn't memorise by heart and the problem was that examination was going to be closed book. The long-awaited day arrived, I received the exam sheet from one of the assistances and, as soon as I started to read the paper, I noticed that the questions were the same content I had read/studied the night before. I was so happy so I started to answer the exam, I took me around 4 hours to finish it. Two days after I'm going to have another examen, it was an open book examination, I was more confident about that exam than the previous one but, because I spent to much time learning the information for the first exam, I hadn't studied enough. Nevertheless, I did my best but, unfortunately, I couldn't finish it. I had 4 hours to do it, but I just spent too much time to catch up the "basics" stuff. It was a disaster. I have more less 5 days to prepare two more exams. I truly spent too much effort to get a pass note to those exams. I was very confident and I wasn't worry, I believed I've passed those courses. I had another 4 days to prepare the last exam of my first semester. I studied as hard as I could, in this particular exam I had both written and oral exam. The written exam was ok, not excellent but at least I was satisfied with the things I did. The hard part was the oral exam, I just mixed up everything I knew. I gave very bad answers and something I contradicted myself. It wasn't funny, especially when the professor was in front of you. The period examination was over, I was quite disappointed about my performance in that exams. I thought I was going to fail two courses the second and the last one, but something unexpected happened...
