Exams: Time to Melt the Clock
Dec 12th, 2007 by Miranda
Is there anything more surreal than exam time. I don’t think anyone accept our fellow students really knows just what I mean by that statement.
1. The vibration in your hand after putting the pen to paper at furocious speeds for 2.51 hours straight!
2. The daze and delerium (loss of balance, inability to focus, nausea) of exiting the exam room caused by starring at black and white for an extended period of time.
3. The lack of ability to effectively communicate anything vocally to anyone in your native tongue for a 3 week period.
4. The tolerance build up of all types of stimulants: coffee, tea, sugar, carbs, guarana, ginseng, etc.
5. The true inability to think (especially present after 4+ hours of straight studying).
6. Your life being the perfect example of the efficiency of polyphasic sleep (hey.. Da Vinci did it!)
And to top it all off, a row of exams starting at 8:30 in the morning? Who the heck planned that!?
