Dear me

I am totally wiped out! I have just finished an exam that took SIX HOURS! I had hoped that it really wouldn't take six hours and didn't think it was going to until I reached the FIVE essay questions at the end, each of which had about five or six subquestions contained within. I will attempt to reenact my response.

Question 73: "Oh, here is another essay question" (reads) Yeah, I can do this. It might take a bit but I have 120 minutes left.

Question 74: "What, another one?" Well, I'm still pretty good on time so here goes.

Question 75: "No Way!" Well, there are only two questions to go and I still have 63 minutes left.

Question 76: "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!" I don't care, I have got to go to the bathroom!!!

Question 77: (The sound of my head banging on the desk.) I am very tempted to write "I am a fish" 400 times! OH MY, I have exactly 8 minutes and 32 seconds!!! (sound of fast and furious typing)

Now, see, I do believe my professor is quite malicious and that she derives great pleasure in her spite.

SMEG!! A 6 hour exam. That is brutal. I was stressed out with the exam I had last fall and it was only 3 hours. ((((HUGS)))))

Yes, and though it is open book, it isn't easier. I do believe it is harder. It also makes me spend more time on answers I know off the top of my head because even though I know that I know them, I still have to see it in writing before I will commit to it simply because it is open book.
