Ever heard of the saying, "The calm before the storm?" Well I'm changing it a bit to "The calm before the thunder." Check this:
19 October 2009 (Mon), 11.59.58 p.m: I just saw the lightning outside my window and for a moment everything goes still and there's a certain calmness in the air. You know the thunder's coming but not just yet...and true enough...
20 October 2009 (Tue), 12.00.01 midnight: The thunder comes, loud and fierce you can almost feel the Earth shake with fear. The sound vibrates all around you. It lasts for 5, maybe 6 seconds and before you know it, it's all over. .

19 October 2009 (Mon), 11.59 p.m: In less than a minute, it'll officially be the day that my A2 battle starts. Lightning stroked and now I'm experiencing the calm before the thunder...the calm before the final battle begins (Remember the scene in LOTR: The Return of the King during the final epic battle between mankind and those hideous creature from Middle Earth? 
After Aragorn gave his final battle speech, knowing they were outnumbered, say 10000 to 1?, he turns toward the enemy, sword raised, battle cry out of his mouth and just for a fraction of a second,
there's total silence and then...just as quickly as it came, sound erupts from the screen, enemies clashes into one another and the battle begins).

Real thunder lasts for about, say, 5 seconds?
My 'thunder' lasted 5 weeks!

It was a long and hard journey but before you know it, it's over. My final paper also marked the end of my A-Level journey. It's finally over, done, the past. Now all I have to do is wait for the results due on 25th January 2010, wait for the future.
It was a long, scary thunder but I lasted through the fearsome thunder!Right on!
