brainiacs in need of supplementary sponsorship

something has been weighing heavily on my mind these few days.
i realise that a great majority of people have been overtly concerned over their imminent scholarship interviews/tests and their outcomes. with people, i refer to my peers... this same issue has been observed by pammie, who has likewise expressed her opinions on this issue on her blog.
i don't have much advice to offer to my anxiety-ridden mates except the fact that worrying does no good and goes nowhere. you can go for the test/interview and worry your head into a permanent hillscape, and it doesn't ensure that you'll perform satisfactorily. you can come out of the test/interview and speculate till the cows come home and seasoned stockbrokers fall on their knees in abject admiration, and it still doesn't alter the already predetermined outcome of the test/interview written on your portfolio. in case of rejection, you can cry your disappointment into a river of salty tears, and it still won't change the outcome a single iota. and it thus follows, to any rational person, that all these worrying, fretting, speculating, crying, moping and all sorts of emotional rollercoaster stunts that all of you force your poor stressed bodies to undergo is simply and utterly USELESS.

thus, please save yourself so much emotional turmoil. go for the tests with a calm heart and peace of mind - trust in your capabilities, and yet bear in mind the parallel, if not superior, capabilities of the other candidates. do your best. when you finish, don't discuss the questions if it upsets you, and engage yourself in useful activity (e.g. preparing for the next interview or a hobby) if you're agitated and restless. when you receive the results and you're told it's not contestable, and it's not to your favour, accept it as best as you can and shift your focus to another more viable option. if they are to your favor, and you find that you're still crying, for God knows what reason, you ought to dial the number for a Woodbridge ambulance. immeidately. you might be experiencing severe sudden happiness shock syndrome (SSHSS), which causes temporary (or sometimes permanent) psychosis.

alternatively, for the latter persons who find it difficult to even speak coherently into the phone to ask for the aforementioned vehicle to transport u to a comfortable quiet padded cell, NANA offers an economical alternative service of rolling-pin-whacking on the cranium, which costs next to nothing (you just have to provide the rolling pin).

as an afterthought, maybe the misshapen head you get after you regain consciousness in a psychosis-free form may disturb u enough to send you into severe sudden unpleasant shock syndrome (SSUSS). which present as signs identical to that for SSHSS.

oh, which also means that another round of cranium-whacking is in order! :) business will be booming for NANA and her infamous rolling pin then.
