skiphire and me sat in my room revising for the theory test. A big exam was coming up next week and I felt nervous about it though he was taking it in his stride.He reasoned that a theory test is one of those things in life you have to accept. You don't question. You just accept. All the kids in all the schools had to go through this at some stage in their life. Next week was just our time.

We did a practice online test. It was a joint effort and we failed. I got quite disheartened by this but he just looked at me and said that was no theory test. That was just a random online test we did prior to our revision.We have a week to get good at this. I see kids all the time in their schools worrying about things but if you want to do good things, you have to be willing to sweat my friend. I knew he was right though I was never quite sure how he knew what was happening in other schools.

He was a great guy though. I guess he had many friends I hadn't heard of. We decided to do another online test on a different site. This time we only marginally failed. This was somewhat comforting because we did a whole lot better in this one though quite clearly still not well enough.We sat there for hours over the coming week. We'd talk to each other now and then if we had troubles understanding a concept - but in the main we talked after the set study period.

This was because we were worried that we'd lose focus or that we'd rely on each other too much and fall to pieces.We both found it quite difficult to study, what with all the temptations around us but we managed it. I don't know how we did it though. Maybe it was the fear that drove us on to pass those exams.I often look back and think was that really us back then? We seemed so small in our little world. There were good days though.
