Exams & Fun?!

Saturday, December 15, 2007

As we turn in our last term papers, come out of the examination halls with great smiles ready to run away from the university for the next month, I clean my room, pack my stuff and look forward to very merry, happy holidays. Although the past two exam weeks were awfully long, they were not something I dreaded or would feel bad about. Life is good. It's just a matter of how you look at it. As I go to enjoy this break, I take some memories with me that would never fail to bring a smile on my face:

*Random quotes and incidents during (around about) final exams week. Nov-Dec, 2007*


"If this chapter wouldn’t make any sense to me in another half an hour, as a last resort, I will be forced to take out my bible and start reading it"
-Cristie.


In Journalism Class...
Professor: Your meeting stories are due today, you can turn those in now.
(Raajii, fishing through her bag)
Raajii: I cant find it. I just got the print out of the assignment. I know I have it somewhere.
Raajii(bringing out a crumpled piece of paper): Uh-oh!
:-)



Professor McCready: Alright, I am going to hand you back your drafts. Make sure you look at the comments. Do come to my office if you have any questions. Remember that you final papers are due on Thursday at 11am.
Random guy: We have a paper to write in this class?!
-On NOT attending the class, perhaps

-Sociology Professor, on being agitated at new room-assignments.
