Severe Test Anxiety?

Once again exams are upon us. To study or not to study? - That is the ques- tion. To pass or not to pass. - That is the answer.

As I stroll down the lane of the campus I see the building. The big brick building. The big brick Duffy building. The build- ing that holds Father Char- lie and his tetrapods.

As Ienter this great sci- ence building I see before me two great doors. Yes, these doors are big. , Big, heavy doors. And what is behind those doors is a scary, SCARY thing.

Slowly, sweat in hand, I open one of these big, heavy doors. Will I be able to stand it? Will I be able to stand?

The door now is open. I see before me a large room. A large room with a chalk- board, a lecture stand, and chairs; many, many chairs.

But look!!! There across from me is another pair of those great doors. Yes, these doors are also big, but they look lighter.

Yuk Yuks in Review

by Brian Linkletter

If you are free on a Monday night and have five bucks to throw away, a trip to the Charlottetown Ho- tel to see Yuk Yuks is well worth the trouble.

Yuk Yuks is a chain of professional ’ comedi- ans. Usually three of them come to Charlottetown ev- ery Monday night to split the sides of the unsuspect- ing audience. These guys really know how to make people laugh.

The act usually. has an

Two weeks ago, the M.C. was Harry Doupe, a very funny guy who was quick on his feet and did a fine job. The second act was Lou Eisin, who’s schtick was abusing the front few tables. He was fantastic, much to the de- light of the audience and much to the dismay of the

Then there is a_

first few tables. The fea- ture act was Colin Camp= bell, a comedien from Cal- gary who had just finished a five week tour across the States. He was the best of the three and all enjoyed his act very much.

Yuk Yuks performs ev- ery Monday Night at the Charlottetown Hotel from 9:30 P.M. to around Mid- night. If you’re looking for a treat, drop in and see these guys. It’s worth the

time and money five times overn

Could this be a form of es- cape? Could I start my trembling feet in motion? Could I go through these doors and be released from the tight grip that is hold- ing onto my lungs? Could I be released from the in- tense anxiety that is build- ing up inside of me? Could I...could I...NO, I couldn’t. I know that I must stay. No

matter how awful the out- come I must stay and face it;

As I proceed to my usual seat (6th row, cen- ter, 2nd from the left) I wonder if this could possi- bly be happening. Could I still be living, breathing, shaking while my heart is beating at such an irregular beat? Are my legs getting weaker? Is there enough blood going to my head? Now is not the time to pass out, I tell myself.

I quickly find my seat and sit down. As I sit down though, I wonder, is there something I have for- gotten? JI can’t think of anything.

I take out all of my pens: three blue ones, two red ones - in case the blue ones run out of ink, and a pencil - in case the red ones run out of ink. Now, where did I put my pencil sharp- ner? I frantically search through my bag. Ah, there it is, right beside the bottle of indian ink.

As I get settled (as set- tled as I'll ever be) I begin to notice something. Some- thing very peculiar. Or is it just me? Yes, it is just me. Nobody else is here!

I look at my watch. It reads 8:59 am. I push the little upper-righthand but- ton. Yes today is 23 04 (Thursday, April 23). I’m sure that I have the right day and time. I'll double check. Once again I fran- tically search through my bag. There it is, the exam schedule.
