What's so Big ?

Every now and then people keep on informing me that I am in 10th std. Whether am at home, school or even when I go to my friends' place. That really gets on my nerves. As if I dunno that I've my first boards this year. And yea I know its a CRUCIAL year but what's the BIG DEAL in it? I mean, its just same as any other ordinary exam with a difference that I would be writing my paper sitting at some other school and my copies would be checked by some teachers I would always be oblivious of. Otherwise I don't feel anything 'new' in it. I have to learn the things as I have always been doing. I'll get the same kind of question paper and I would be writing with the same old ink. Really. I mean why get so much petrified about it. It's nothing to hype so much. Just so much of exaggeration really piss me off. Okay. I really admit that this is the first and the last chance to prove myself but that really burdens me more. Nothing better it does than annoying me. I hope everything works out perfectly and people stop bugging me with their 'It-your-10th-ohh-so-important-year'.
