English [anal] Exam

Another very fucked up day at CSL. This one is going into the big book of classic fucked-up shit at CSL.

When the English teacher, out of pure *term deleted* gives an exam composed of 10 questions requiring 1-paragraph answers each, plus some smattering of single line answers AND another minimum 3 paragraph just to make you sweat a little more, it just has to go down into the annals of history.

The *term deleted* of her actions is overwhelming when you consider that we get three hours normally, just to write a 5 paragraph exam essay. When viewed like so, other teacher's *term deleted* is a small hand grenade while her's is a hydrogen bomb going off.

On the bright side, in protest, we had:

1- Scarface jumping out of the window. (He took a leaf outta the Sec 3's book)
2- People had their notes, handouts and books under the desk, and in some cases, ON the desks, and were copying and cheating.
3- In a surge of creativity, using an eraser as "messenger" another pair of us got themselves through the exam with at least a 60%, and a laugh too.
4- We talked loudly not exactly sharing answers, but still, ticking her off.


Anyways, this applies:

If you steal from one another it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research.



PS: It wasn't June. If it were, imagine the stink, the humidity, the sweat pouring off our brows, the sweat-sodden papers, the sweaty hands, the shaky pencils, the people whispering curses, the sticky pants (and underwear), the teachers laughing, etc.
I'm painting grim preview for what there is to come aren't I?

That is what life will bring you, so enjoy it while you can. Loosen up, chill out for Easter holidays, because after that, its the deepest level of hell for a month.
