Greetings

Dear diary, how are you? I am here to share my hectic routine during final exams. I must say this was the longest exam season as exam will start in and end in 3 weeks. Secondly, vivas are scheduled in 1 and a half weeks, so I am feeling stressed after checking the exam schedule.

Today is our first viva of clinical. I was a little bit scared and well-prepared for the exam and viva, too. Because we have OSPE and OSCE in which first we have to write the exam and then oral viva by internal & external teachers. I haven't much stress about the written exam but stressed the external examiner as we don't even know his name.

The written exam started at 11 am, and within 40 minutes, we had to complete the exam and return the paper to the mam. When I saw the exam questions, they weren't that difficult, the exam was easy. Then I completed the exam and helped my friends as they all hadn't prepared well for the exam.

After that, we have to wait for half an hour, and then the viva will start. The internal examiner was so chill as we already gave mid-term viva to her. She asked 3 to 4 questions and then called the next student. I was happy that the internal viva was great. Now I have to wait for 1 and a half hours for my viva turn to the external examiner.

Finally, it was my turn for Viva, but I was scared as he was asking questions related to neurology, this semester, we studied more about orthopaedic diseases. But thank God my roll number was in the last 10 students, so he was asking 2 to 3 questions, and it was so easy that I could give answers even if I wasn't prepared for viva.

Around 2 pm, we got free from there and then moved to the cafeteria for lunch. As in viva stress, most of us skip breakfast. Alhamdulilah, we all were so happy that our 1st viva was done, and now only 2 vivas are remaining that are not much stressing out.
