Yup officially the exams are over and the holidays begin. Well actually it didn’t even feel like they have started. That’s cos there’s nothing to study or prepare for any of my papers this sem. Really, it’s not because I don’t want to but it’s cos there isn’t any to.

There wasn’t any point mugging cos it’s open book, which questions will not ask for answers found in the notes; the concepts being tested are those we already so familar with, provided you have not been sleeping throughout the semester; and it’s a case of whether you can answer within time or not.

Really exams are not a good benchmark of your understanding and knowledge. Scoring well might imply so but the converse is not true. Well they’re all crap anyway. Why work out problems that the lecturer has answers to? Effort should be spent on problems yet unanswered.

Oh well.. back to slacking anyway. heh
