Sign Of The Cross

Alright, missed two days, but the reason for that is midterm exam (hurray). Anyway, Monday and Tuesday was just work and then study in the afternoon. The only funny thing is that I was to a seminar during Tuesday for my work and when I got back and sat for dinner one of the people around me thought I look familiar and it came to light that she had been at the seminar as well.

Anyway, Wednesday came and I woke up at 8:30 (test started 10:25), dragged myself from going up in half an hour, and then went to Starbucks (I begin to like the coffee in the morning). There I meet five other classmates studying until the last minute. So I sit down there listening and confirms and relearns different things. 10:20 we decide to go to class. Unfortunately one had gone 5-10 minutes earlier to get another cup of coffee. The clock ticked on to 10:25 (Now the academical 5 minutes rule comes into place).

10:32 we enters the classroom and there the professor (who has talked about the Spanish-Peruvian Inqusition in his papers) stands in a medieval priest robes with notes on the boards like "How do you plead to that you have not study enough?". The exam comes forward and it begins.

No chance in hell that you could have studied enough to this exam. The readings are a stack of papers around 1 dm thick and that doesn't include the books. This made many people choose a couple and focus on them. Not me, I read everything once and hoped my memory and broad knowledge of things could give me a good score. Otherwise its also a re-do if the worst outcome will come true. One question was 50 points out of 100. Very hard for me who tends to write short and don't expand on my thoughts. One question I didn't have a clue what it was (some text that was so boring that I read this weekend actually). Hard to know the result but I can always cross my fingers (I see myself as a kinda lucky person).

The day is not over. Another session this afternoon and we are focusing on Europe (hell yeah) and the first thing w get is a map of Europe with 47 numbers in. Geography time. List all countries of Europe. I was first with only one fault and that was Montenegro. Good news is that these will stand for a great deal of points on the next exam so I'm ready. Next was a documentary about the first world war (thank god I read the book on the first world war this Christmas). I gonna love this section.
