hello.. ive been pretty bored studying [fine so i havent exactly been studying even though my exams are like.. next week??] i have nothing to blog about except my never ending series of unlucky days which i shall not dwell upon..
i, however, found this on jieshi's blog.. its sort of related to what im going through now.. well at least a little..
15 things to do if you know you are going to fail an exam.
1. If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative.
2. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand ANY of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who the hell are you? Where's the regular guy?"
3. On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.
4. Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas." If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.
5. Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.
6. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.
7. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
8. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.
9. Bring cheat sheets FOR ANOTHER CLASS (make sure this is obvious... like history notes for a calculus exam... otherwise you're not just failing, you're getting kicked out too) and staple them to the exam, with the comment "Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit."
10. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.
11. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc. sent to you every few minutes throughout the exam.
12. Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked to stop, say, "it helps me think." Bring a copy of the Student Handbook with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical instruments during finals. Don't forget to use the phrase "Told you so".
13. If the exam is math/science related, make up the longest proofs you could possibly think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.
14. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.
15. Answer the exam with the "Top Ten Reasons Why Professor xxxx Sucks."
haha.. i might consider trying the telegram one.. i'll order flowers for you, okay?
