I feel absolutely sucky and handicapped at the moment.

Reasons for the above follow:

1. I have 2 exams lined up for the weekend, both of which I haven't studied adequately for, thanks to INADEQUATE time.
2. I'm doing absolutely NOTHING for S's birthday tomorrow, thanks to mf'kin exams and INADEQUATE time again.

Weren't exams all about testing how much one actually knew and absorbed?

Strangely, to me they seem like a tool devised by these "darned efficient academic people", to serve the purpose of frustrating a student so much that they resort to pulling their hair out [that too, on a relatively milder note].

And to think we actually PAY them for making us go through this torture...

what a bunch of sadists.
