Yay! No more exams!!! (At least, not for another good while yet!)
Want to know what’s funny? I was supposed to have my Marketing exam on Thursday the 6th. But it turned out that someone had managed to get their hands on a copy of the final and spread it around to God-knows-how-many students. And that person turned out to be–how shall I put it?–”un-careful” enough to get caught. So they had to cancel the exam. They were thinking of postponing it until after the winter break…which I found to be completely unfair. When I’m on vacation, I don’t want to look forward to an exam when I get back. (Really now, who does?) The good news is that they decided to simply cancel the exam entirely and base our marks on the tests and assignments we had completed throughout the semester. This works absolutely wonderfully in my favor since I did really well in the course. But I do feel sorry for those who were depending on the final exam to boost their grades…anyways, they could always lynch the guy who got caught with the damned test. I mean, c’mon, if you’re gonna cheat, the least you could do is not get caught.
In any case…I’ve been enjoying my freedom. I’d enjoy it a little more if it wasn’t for this stupid cold that I’ve got. But hey, one can’t have everything in life, eh? The good news is that I’ve got a gathering tomorrow with my friends from college at my place to take my mind off my stuffy head. It was supposed to be at Emad’s house (it was his idea) but he switched to mine because I live on a compound with a clubhouse and swimming pool. I don’t mind, I think it’s pretty cool idea. I just hope I don’t infect more people than I think I already have. (Emad’s now going through a coughing/sneezing thing and I think he may have gotten that from me. We were hanging out together all day yesterday at the City Center mall. And Jay was also coughing yesterday…though I’m not sure if he got it from me or not.) Ah well, we’d all be bonding over bacteria’s love of our bodies. What better way to spend a free Monday afternoon?

Congrats!
Congrats on ur freedom human…:)
And I must admit, when I heard the final judging of what is to become of the marketing exam, I was happy. Maybe it’s just me, but I like unexpected twists that go in ones favor.
U heard about this? Check it:
A Prof for a quite difficult class was standing in front of his students, holding the final exam papers in his hands. He looks up at the nervous faces and says, “I know you all worked very hard this term, and if you want, you can leave right now without taking the exam, and you will get a B as a final grade for the whole term.”
After some surprised glances, almost 3/4 of the class got up to leave the class, relieved at receiving a passing mark and not having to take the exam. The prof looks at the remaining few, and says, “This is your last chance to leave if you want.” Two more students packed and left.
The prof turns to the handful, and says, “Congratulations for having faith in your knowledge. You all receive an A as a final term mark. Good bye.”
Heheheh….I like that, I like clever prof’s.
Anyways, for that gathering, I hope the bacteria don’t make an appearance. And take PIX! And most of all, enjoy!
