journey of going through exams

Every exam season in uni has its own journey and meaning for me and this time is no exception. Sometimes, it feels as if God brings up different variations of the same struggle and persecutions, its feels like a strategy that u use in chess is never the same cos of the different reactions of your opponent. The tiring thing is that I am only halfway through my exams, with the other half are the ones which I dun look forward to.
In addition, I had some observations (most of them negative) abt the exam hq, especially myself where I am still failing within those areas (at home n in sch) tat I see, even a year plus on already. To be fair, I think there's some improvement at least over the past 1 yr, but then I dun think its enough..to God though I am not sure.

I really like the chorus of the song " the wonderful cross", reminder for myself too

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

See from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless
Your name

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

Added the whole song lyrics.
