Just about to write the last exam this year. Have already received my ELang results. 34/40. Not too good, but also not bad with the amount of guesswork going on there!
Seriously, I hate exams in which you just have to understand NOTHING at all and just have to regurgitate either slides or what the professors said. And it was just about that. Only MCQs. Gah. Ah, well, but then, it was at least easy. And probably much better than the Psy one. Or than the ELit one is going to be if I fail to remember the interpretation of the texts fed to us by our professors. :)
I am not sure whether I want Germany to have exams the same way they are here. In some ways, it can only get better. Writing exams in rooms which are so full that you are unable NOT to read what the six people around you are writing is hell, but I am not sure if this is better:

That, my friends, is Hunter Hall East, the hall in which we are sitting our exams. Looks friendly, no? And between those rows, the lecturers and janitors patrol. Maybe that's the reason why no one is trying to copy things here. There is always a chance for the tons of people who are patrolling to see it... but somehow, apart from the guy who copied my essay, there is just no one who tries... Hmm.
So... off to two hours spent with Much Ado, The Homecoming or The Turn of the Screw, and a random poet.
Hugs to all, especially to

Why would I try to copy stuff those inferior creatures whi study with me come up with? *lol* Yes, I know my opinion of my fellow students is not particularly high, but after that horrid seminar this year, it really is not surprising.
And your result does sound rather good. ^^

And it's not pretty, either, but thankfully, my institute is for once NOT in the ugliest buidling on campus, although we're going to be kicked out of the Western Quadrangle. But I'll show you pictures of the place soon enough. Can't wait!
I didn't mean people like you. But I know that half of these guys didn't lift a finger in preparation of this exam, so I just would have expected they'd try.
As for spending time over here - you only got to say, pack up Hannah-dear and come over. :)

You'll probably have to re-register, as I did.

Have a nice weekend!
