Looooooong day

Today feels like one of the longest days in my life - not that it actually has been, but it sure feels that way. And a tough one at that.

To begin with it was a long night as i remember dreaming about chasing something (don't remember what it was, but i have a vague memory of a pyramid and a fruit for some reason...)
And then in the morning i did my last minute studying, showered and washed up, packed for the weekend and fixed the yoga mat back into it's huge box, put it on the bike and cyckled my way to the post office and then the university.

And i gotta say, i expected this four hour test to be well enough time as usual and that maybe i could finish one hour or half an hour early as usual - but i was gravely misstaken.


My day felt about as long as long cat...

We only had five questions and got to choose if we wanted to write the essay exam in swedish or english, as the teacher was english, all our classes, seminars and litterature was in english and i feel comfortable writing in english i did.

"only five questions, yaaay i'll be done early!" or so i thought at first. But they were not only big, they were huge and to not miss anything important i first had to make pointers for myself on every question. Only the pointers to every question took an hour to get down on paper - that's how huge it was.

So then i used te remaining time to write down 9 pages of small printed scribbles (my handwriting is NOT pretty, especially when stressed). + three pages of pointers for the questions.
It was tough and for once i had to use all the time given - and for once so did most of the class....
It was really waaaay to big.

But the worst part wasn't even the fact that it was a waaay to big exam for only 4 university points, no it was the fact that the test did not have any pointers what so ever about what you needed to achieve to pass or to get a VG (the highest grade, there's three grades: U= fail, G=good(pass), VG= very good)

Usually it's point graded, where every question has a maximum number of points and you need at least 50% for a G and 75% for a VG. But this time nothing. It was really annoying.
 I'm going to write to our teacher to ask about how the heck she grades the papers... After all whithout a scheme for it she could correct and grade them however she wants - and that's not very fair.

So now i'm on the train back to stockholm, that of course is late and stuff so i won't be at robert's place until midnight or so... *sigh*

Oh well, at least the exam is done, and i have a chill weekend ahead of me <3
