Exams Suck

Ok, so I know that prior to getting to Mac I was at Sheridan for two years, so I shouldn't be so surprised that exams suck. But really, Mac exams are from an entirely different world. Seriously. They don't try to test your knowledge with an exam, they try to test your testicular fortitude. If you can walk out of the exam without bursting into tears, you pass.

Ok, well I can rank the impossibility of my exams, from most to least impossible: PSYCH, Bio, Stats. I still don't understand why they bother even making the exam reference psychology. Nobody would notice the difference. Talk about impossibly obscure questions! And Bio. Ok, in all fairness it's not really impossible if you have any interest or talent when it comes to science. I, personally, don't, so ya. That's all I have to say about that. Except screw science, I hope it dies, and they will NEVER see my face again! Ok, well, biology. I actually like chemistry and physics. Strange eh?

And then there's stats. To me, the easiest of tests, in general. Honestly, the easiest exam. As my eyes scanned through the pages, I thought to myself 'I got this!'. I flipped back to page one, put my pencil to the paper, and then something happened to me that has never, ever happened before. Maybe it was the exhaustion. Maybe I honestly blew a brain fuse. I don't know. Maybe I was automatically overthinking. But anyway, I blanked. Just like that. I'd get halfway through solving a problem and think either a) crap i don't know how to keep going from here,or b) crap, i don't think I'm using the right formula. And then there were the questions I'd stare at be like 'i know exactly how to solve this...why can't I figure out how to solve this? I'd know the formula until I actively went to use it and then the formula would disappear.

Yeah, so I pretty much bombed all of my exams. At least they're over. Next semester, I'll come up with a new game plan! Now, on to housewarming plans...I really should start calling around.

Anyway

Cheers
