Discovery of the day: the only thing duller than taking a test where you know all of the material backwards and forwards, and have had it drilled into your head to the point of nausea...
...is having to watch a room of approximately 100 students take that test.
I would have fallen asleep if I hadn't had to continually stalk around the room, keeping my eyes open for signs of cheating, looking menacing, and threatening to confiscate any cell phone that went off during the exam. I almost did during the ten minutes or so of notes that followed if not for stabbing myself in the leg with my pencil.
Lessons learned today:
1) Eat a better lunch before coming to marathon days.
2) Pack a better dinner.
3) Get my ass to bed at a reasonable hour.
4) If I can stay awake through something this boring, I can most certainly stay awake through the most boring presentations imaginable.
