The Adventures, Mishaps and Musings of Me

Man, I forgot how insane taking an exam at my Univeristy could be. 

Firstly, they announce to you what room you're going to be in the day before on your 'internet student diary', but I completely forgot to check and only remembered on waking up this morning in an instant panic... At which point the announcement had disappeared.  I only found out which room by hurridly phoning up friends who are close to me in the alphabet, otherwise I would have been completely roomless.

Of course, once you've reached the correct room, then we have the exam itself.  The two assistants that were overseeing it seemed to assume that all students are cheating little bastards, and thus were positively militant in their anti-cheating policies.  I had one of them barking at me for writing with my paper slightly to the left of me (because obviously I was trying to give the people behind me a better view.)  Certainly, it was not a de-stress situation as they glaringly marched up and down the benches.  Once you'd finished, it was very much a matter of making sure that you didn't do anything that could possibly be construed as cheating.  I managed to solve this dilemma by taking a nap on the desk!

The most ridiculous thing of all was, that for all their keeness to stop people from cheating during the exam, they didn't actually check people's identity when they came in.  So, clearly their line was anyone is allowed to take your exam, but whoever that person is, they absoloutly must not cheat!!   

All that aside though, the exam went well.  For Financial Markets, surprisingly so.

Hopefully, I can say the same for Statistics on Friday...
