Reading andromacha's journal

Think about your worst dream, your actually most horrible dream, and then think about it coming true! That was my exam today. We were told it was a multiple choice test... 4 answers, and you had to figure out which was the correct one.

Well, on the contrary there were 40 questions and you had to fill in the right answer without being helped. 40 questions, and 20 minutes to do it!!! That should mean 30 seconds for each question, right? I was pretty sure about what I was writing though, except for say 10 questions I filled randomly. Being the lucky girl that I am, I should have gotten 2 or 3 right out of those.

And it was even more horrible to raise up my head from my sheets to see all the other people in the room staring at the professors like to say "What the heck is this?!" There were the so called famous quotations and we had to write down the author who wrote them... Basically from 3 words you had to understand who was the darn (hopefully doomed to hell) author who wrote it, and the nice part is that there were 52 authors... From the 1200 to the second half of 1900. It was pretty impossible to get everything correctly. I will kiss the feet of the one who managed to get all the 40 questions correct (and believe me... no one could have done that, considering that those famous quotations belonged mostly to minor works of the the most unknown authors!!!)

Bah... Let's just hope I passed it, I don't care about the grade. Even an 18 will do! Keep your hands crossed for me, guys. Friday I will know the results.

I'm sure you did well, so don't worry. We all have days like that where it almost seems like the professor doesn't care whether you pass or fail. Sometimes it even seems like they are trying to get you to fail. The only thing one can do in a circumstance like that is prepare to the best of his or her ability and then take the best to the best of his or her ability. No use in worrying which it is so easy to do.

I made it! Yes, I made it!!!! Woohoo 22/30! That's a great grade considering that the highest was 23/30.
The professors failed more than the 50% of the ones who took it, so I am definitely happy now. I will surely raise up my grade with the oral test, which is gonna be much easier!

Oh man, I am so wonderfully satisfied! :)
