and 33 minutes had expired out of the 72 hours allotted for my take home exam when I uploaded it and hit the submit button.
Of course, ten minutes after that I started thinking about what else I should have said, or how I should have said it. But then, stick a fork in me, I was more than ready to be done with exams.
It is not to say that I am done with the semester, just with the exams and deadlines. I still have two papers to turn in. One is a combination project of a cover memo with draft legislation/ordinance – the other a position paper. I have drafts for both but have not been able to drum up the energy needed for a concerted effort on either.
The last day of exams is tomorrow; half of my friends are slotted for that very last exam period.will not complete their last exam until late afternoon. I can’t really decide which I detest more – in class exams where your whole grade depends on the final, in class mid-terms and finals, take home exams, or whole grade hanging on a writing assignment. They are all ugly options.
Why am I doing this to myself anyway? Oh, yes. GI Bill with Uncle Sam paying for everything plus providing me a living subsidy…..
I think the take home exam you just took is the worst. Reminds me of my comprehensive exams for my PhD. Awful to drag it out so long, and unnecessary, in my view. Hope it went well and good luck with the last two papers. Yay for you for pushing yourself!
I don`t know if I should admire you or feel sorry 😉
