Waiting

Sometimes I wonder
    why time flies so fast,
I never thought it would be like this.
My chair is isn't comfortable, 
     yet I can't get up,
so I'll have to wait for one hour to pass.

The clock is ticking:
     slower than the other days.
I'm waiting, as my table creeks from time to time. 
I look around;
     but almost everyone is asleep,
and others, still puffing and blowing and scribbling, 
all over the answer sheets. 

Suppose I should sleep too
    -but I can't.
Now that my glasses keep slipping off my nose,
I will wait the rest by putting them back,
    for there's only 30 minutes to go. 

PS: I just 'upset' my civic education exam.
      I'm not hopeful anyway.
