Final Update

So that went badly. Not only did I sleep through my alarm, losing desperately needed study time, but I also had the time of the final wrong, and so arrived an hour after it began. Not that that really mattered, as I didn't know enough to write for three hours anyway. Also, I'm sick. And if you've never sat for two hours leaking from your nose and wishing you had thought to bring a Kleenex, your only distraction your throbbing head and the answers you don't know, you really haven't lived.

Anyway, the bright side is that this quarter is over and Spring Break beckons. Onward.

As someone who is 13 weeks from completing his late-in-life masters, you sir have my sympathies. I always enjoyed the quarter system, it made spring break a real break, instead of a prof's excuse to hand out a large assignment.

See my comment in the below thread. I did the same thing once. :-)

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only person who's done that. ;) You probably aced it anyway, and if not, I can't even begin to tell you how much your undergrad grades don't matter.

Great. You've just triggered the universal nightmare of not being able to find the room where your final is being given until well after it starts and then not being able to answer a single question. It's 38 years since I took my last final exam, and I still have that dream (also the one with the thousand naked women throwing little pickles at me).

My senior year, I slept through the last final of my undergraduate career, no kidding.....and there wasn't ever a test, I just had to show. Went from an A to a C.

"I can't even begin to tell you how much your undergrad grades don't matter."

That's good to know since I've been kicked out of school for terrible grades.

Guys -- I write 7 posts a day, 5 days a week, and 3-4 posts on weekends. And I've been doing this for almost three years.

Was there ever any doubt that I was addicted?

Not that I don't sympathize and all, but there are many many reasons why I absolutely adored my alma mater's policy of self scheduled, non-proctored exams. Not having to worry about being late was definitely one of them.

"Was there ever any doubt that I was addicted?"

No. And we are ALL (selfishly) thankful.

Ezra: it's just as much a hoot from the other side.

That's why I loooooooove take-home exams :)
