But the time went by and the look in their eye said its never gonna do the trick.

Well, Yesterday's exam ended up being not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. Which was awful.

I should at least have got above 14, I reckon, which is always good. I ended up leaving with half an hour to go [despite extra time], because I thought I knew what I'd got wrong, or had a 50% chance of wrong, and wasn't going to be more sure. Nik Ruskuc, invigilating the exam saw I was standing to leave and came over to me:
"Are you finished?"
"Yeah"
"Have you checked your work?"
"Uh-huh."
Then he lent over me and whispered in my ear "Is it readable?"

That's the closest I've come to busting out laughing under exam conditions. Then I got some sweet sleep, and then spent the night revising for graph and watching Heroes. Graph's probably been my strongest course all semester, and I think I've still got a good shot at above 19. There was one question at the start which was somewhat vaguely worded [as in, gave different answers]. So I wrote over half a page for a two mark answer and spent 40 minutes on the first question of a 5 question, 2 hour paper. I managed to finish just in time - I spent 20 minutes on the last question, before realising with 5 minutes to go I was going about it utterly wrong and managed to get the solution down in 2 minutes. All told, a pretty good exam. Now to have an afternoon off before starting revision for functional Analysis. Ah, stuff's not bad.

test, angst, project, all-nighter, third year, third year exam angst
