I wanted you to know that I did check out the site and this was a very sad story…with a happy ending. Which library did you discover? I am looking for a book called Nickle and Dimed. My American sister recommended it and I can’t seem to locate it in the Toronto library. When I lived in Eastern Ontario I could order just about anything it seemed. Is there some other “library” where I might be able to track down this book?

Also I can’t believe you read all those books in a month. Do you sleep?

And hey, you had more time to study

An acquaintance of mine, who obviously did not understand the idea of 24-hour time, thought his exam time of 13:00 meant 3 o’clock. It was a two hour exam. Ouch!

I am so glad you found out the day before, not after! I did the same kind of thing in university, long ago, but I only figured out that my exam was actually in progress one hour after it began. I wrote a 3 hr exam in an hour and a half… the mark was my lowest ever but at least I passed the class!!

glum — the exam centre is giant and sterile and has very comfortable chairs. But I really wonder what happens in it the other 10 months of the year.

Serena — I wasn’t, until then! And now I’m not anymore, having successfully written the exam on Wed. Yay for finishing.

Katherine — holy cow! Your college sounds amazing.

what’s the new ‘exam centre’ like?
And you are right about that library. It is nice.

This is my biggest fear in life. I wrote my last exam this morning. I was actually short of breath reading this thing. ACK!

Auggh!! I’m having sympathy stress for you right now. I used to have panicky dreams before exams. I’m so glad that you have one extra day to study. Good luck tomorrow.

That’s very, very good that you figured it out the day before, not the day after… and I guess also good that you didn’t book a plane ticket home immediately following your exam. Good luck with your finals!

This is one of the things I don’t miss about school! (loved the reading, writing, and research, but not the exams). Luckily, the college I went to had self-scheduled exams, so we could take them on our own time, in any one of the set exam rooms, in any order we wanted to, during exam week (we had a very strong honor code).

“Room 320? Okay thanks bye!” *click*

Didn’t occur to me to check the date, but I wouldn’t have been able to tell you if I had :p
