Crap day at the exam, Boo
Had my second exam today on Criminal Procedure course. Being a procedure course, it means we'd have to know all the process and procedures and different powers of the court and the criminal justice system. Basically cramming, because there's no logic in how a system works, what papers you have to file, how days you have to do it ,ugh. Thank god, it was open book.
But then being open book makes it harder, they can ask more difficult questions, plus there won't be anytime to actually flip through and read the book during the exams anyways. That's not too bad, I can handle dry cramming information in my head.
But it's f***ing pissing off that they manage to pick questions concerning the more obscure and relately uncommon things they could ask. Go to hell for making our lives harder than it already it.
It's bad enough that they made the alleged offence so borderline on the sentencing scale, which means there's a chance we might go off in the wrong direction when we are discussing whether it was an appropriate sentence. Especially annoying because they don't seem to accept the opposite view even with proper justification. If you don't think the same way as the marker, too bad, justify it with proper and sound reasoning all your want, you're wrong.
Then they decide to ask a questionre based entirely on a separate policy document, that I doubt manby people did read through it (I didn't!), which was at most mentioned twice in the textbook, and the said mention does not even allude to what the question was asking. So F*** that, I didn't read it, I was confused, I Bulled some random stuff in it, came out heard someone said it, remember that damn thing, knew I was in so much trouble because i just lost a 7 mark question completely, 14% of my mark gone. Oh great, now that's definitely a B-range, and that's assuming i did relatively well in the other 43 marks.
That last question they pulled out these tiny point that would've been so easily overlooked (or directs you to the wrong section). I made the mistake of reading the wrong section. But in that last 15 minutes, while flipping through my notes, I finally found the correct section! So I saved that question. That was the one good thing in this exam.
/end rant.
tl;dr, the examw as terrible, it was hell, and I'm depressed.
but know i can't let that affect me too much, I still have 2 closed book exam coming up and another exam after that. So that's 10 days to memorise everything and revise that last one.
oh the joy. can't wait for it to be over!

What made me smile: MY SHIP: #CAPTAINSWAN IS SO CANON IT HURTS ♥. I totally needed that to keep my emotions up :)
