Tests are Fun!

This morning I woke up casually at 10:30 am to the usual nauseating Emo music that is the result of putting my six-year-old iPod on shuffle. Embrace the humpday!, I thought. The suite was silent, since every normal student has class before noon, so I made my way to bathroom, adjusted my Dark Knight boxers and began to brush my teeth in the dark with my crayon toothbrush. Yes...my toothbrush is a crayon, because I am a 7-year-old boy. No, but let me explain. I ride a scooter to class, I have a Thomas the Tank Engine blanket, I love my onesie, and my roommates poke fun at me for eating Yobaby yogurt out of my monkey cup. Insert sarcastic child reversion comment. 

Needless to say, the sun was shining and I knew it was going to be a great day. How right indeed! I made my way to Microeconomics, picked up the exam and began to answer the 28 multiple choice questions. After 20 or so minutes of diligent test-taking, the professor made an announcement. But first, a bit of background on Prof H: he's ADHD and dyslexic. And that should just about do it for background. 

"Ok guys, this is taking too long. The essay portion of the test will be take-home." Is this real life?! A murmur broke out among the students, filled with sighs of relief and muffled giggles. I think the information confused people more than anything else. This is definitely not a common occurrence. Maybe my Engineering Math professor should take a cue from Prof H and give us take-home exams...if only.
