“Don’t Panic!” - The Subject said it all. The Guide didn’t use those 2 words for nothing.
Two weeks down, and the pressure of time running past is hitting everyone. And the feeling best described by these words from a smart young lady “I am not average!”
Well fact is that none of us are – because you cannot be average unless you really believe you are – and if you really didn’t think you were good enough – you wouldn’t be here!
I would like to believe that each person in the Class of 2008 has been outstanding in whatever they’ve done so far in life - and will continue to excel wherever they go from here. In the intervening period let’s just focus on learning what we don’t know regardless of whether the “grades” match up.
And when times get tough, think of the three words Mother Mary said in the Quartet’s song….. “Let it Be….”

Part of me agrees with you. The other part doesnt.
Panic. Pressure. Stress. Rat race. Is'nt that exactly what we paid 15 lacks for? Dealing with all of these is an implicit part of the curriculum. So i would argue that the pressure is good.
And common. If we think twice, this kind of pressure is nothing. when compared to real life situations.. people face much harder situations. wont go into the details. you probably get the drift..
I tend to think of the rat race like the aircraft simulations that pilots go through before they get to fly the real thing.
cheers,
