Apparently I set the record for the entire history of the course (all of two terms)as the student who took the longest time writing the exam! ^^;;
The true or false, of course, was my downfall. There were two questions there that I was totally clueless about and therefore guessed. Knowing my skill/luck in these matters, I probably got both of them wrong. *sigh*
I wasn't particularly happy with my essay answers either. As "essays" they lacked clear theses, and they were rambling rather than concise.
Also, we were supposed to use information from the class as well as "real life examples", and I'm not sure I really managed to pull in stuff from the class. Well, I know I used stuff that came up in a class discussion in one of the essays, but the other one... It's tougher in that regard (using class-specific information) because I do have a pretty solid hockey background/knowledge, so I have a hard time differentiating between prior knowledge and class stuff.
Oh, and let's not forget the debacle with my second essay! I was writing away, and I had like four or five pages and was about to finish up when I re-read the essay question and realized that I had only answered about half of the question!!! @_@ In my defense, there were like five questions rolled into one, and at least two distinct topics within them, so it wasn't set up for a fast/easy answer. But yeah, it was already 9pm by the time I realized my mistake, and everyone else had already left!!! Phil was walking back and force, and although he reassuured me that it wasn't impatience with me, but boredom that drove him, I've got to admit, it did make me feel bad for taking so long! Besides, I was pretty tired of writing by that point myself.
Anyway, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now that the class is over!!! I have a feeling work is going to be a real drag without the promise of the next class or the memories of the previous one to keep me revved up!
