So my exams are over for another year... Hopefully this means that I can clean my room and desk, and arrange the piles of uni and teaching work into... um... neater piles I guess. Did I mention I'm glad my exams are over? Yeah. Glad. Way glad.

But exams aren't all bad... they can be fun. My first exam, I spent 2 out of 10 minutes reading time planning questions, and the next 8 minutes looking at a topographical map, and pretending I was an army man.

And the exam today? Lets say the exam supervisors are old. Old enough that they don't realise when they whisper "They're all scared... look at them! They are a bunch of newbies and externals..." we could hear it. All the way up the back. Thankyou mister Elephant Whisperer.

They also don't realise how distracting it is to open a brand new ipod nano at the front of the room during exam time. She probably thought it was a kitchen utensil.

Oh, and to "Fluzza" the Eastern European overseas student. You don't need to walk into the room 5 minutes after the exam has started, and say hello to the person either side of you, in front of you, and behind you. Just not neccessary. Neither is the massive pencil case and book you keep on your desk. And when the exam supervisor says "You have 10 minutes remaining" don't raise your hand to your mouth, and inhale in horror. There is a clock on the front wall. With numbers. In fact, its been there the whole time!

To the girl with the trendy clothes and even trendy-er hairstyle. We look at you, and can tell you have some strange incessant desire to be the centre of attention. But once the exams starts, you can calm down because we don't care how many stupid huffing noises you make, how often you play with your overly noisy watch, or how many times you blow rasberries and play with your paper... no one is THAT cool. Except for maybe Bill Gates. And that's only because he owns us.

To the mums taking the exam. Its not ok to talk during the exam... nor is it ok to run out of the room after the exam has started to get things from your bag without telling anyone. Oh, and leaving midway through the exam to get a 'pencil sharpener' from your bag? Come on... I know mothers... I have one. Don't be shady and cheat now...

And to the Cicada that flew into the hallway midway through the exam, and stayed there chirping for 5 minutes. You are no longer welcome at my birthday party.

And to all of you combined, thanks for giving me the most memorable exam of my life! FREAKS!
