Actually, I think, for me at least, the exam went rather smoothly, which was surprising considering I was able to follow just about none of the advice everybody was giving in class about pre-exam prep. I had, like, a buttload of things due on the same day as the exam, and so was forced to stay up literally all night the night before getting them done (I think I got about 1 hour of sleep right before I came in, because I just couldn't take it anymore). I hadn't eaten any breakfast, I was dehydrated, exhausted, and my head was still filled with all of the things I was writing for the 20 page paper I was working on, which had nothing to do with this exam. But I think all of that sleeping and having a clear head n' stuff is for candy-asses anyway! Who needs it! A true Spartan warrior takes his English exams at the brink of exhaustion just to prove he can!
Ha! Naww, I'm just kidden, I would have given my left, umm, arm (yeah, just my arm) to have gotten a good night's sleep the night before. But I still think I pulled it off OK. I got that 11th hour adrenaline going that always snaps me into focus (At times like this, I'm like the Terminator, of English, and those lines from T3 keep repeating in my head, "What is your mission!" "To do well on the English exam!" [that's my version, alright!] n' John Connor shouts ta me, "Well you are about to fail that mission!" And when he says that, then I get the strength of ten men, batter down my fatigue, n' come up swinging, drawin' upon my reserve intellectual strength to dominate that test! Dramatic, isn't it?).
So I think I did Ok after all. It helped that I recognized about 8 out of the 9 passages that I selected also. I totally bullshitted my way through the second part of the exam, but I think I was able to do it eloquently and interestingly at least , so I'm hoping I got some cool points for that. Did anybody have anything really unobvious to say that was intersting about those poems? I thought about my choices for a while (even slept on it for about 2 minutes to gather my thoughts--that really does help!), and I think came up with something original and intriguing to say about the 1st and 3rd poems, but I may have also erred on the side of not being structurally (even factually?) based enough. But watever, I got through it, I knocked it out, and I think I deserve the English purple heart for the way I took that exam (and then went to work right after, while all you bastards were partying! lol). I think we all deserve props, in fact, for knocking this big bastard of a test down, and doin' what we had to do. N' now it's all smooth sailin' from here on out boyz and gals, so I say, it's time ta crack some Heinekens and celebrate some more! Who's down for partyin' after the MoMa on Wednesday!
