Prolonging the Inevitable....

You know....sometimes I wish that I didn't have to go through the semesterly ritual of finals. It's just one last way for your professors to eternally screw you over. I mean...can't we just say 'Hey...it's been good. Gotta go?' No. Of course not. There's no fun in that. I personally believe that they love to see the pain and torment that students go through to cram every little detail into their heads so that they may....just maybe.....be able to get a passing grade.

And then when the time comes to actually put that detailed knowlege to use, it flees from you, leaving you staring blankly at the test before you. Wondering 'What the hell does this all mean again?'. Just as soon as you leave, of course, all information comes flooding back, leaving you dumbfounded and annoyed.

But of course. As a college student, one becomes accustomed to this ritual and soon it just becomes a chance to prolong the inevitable. Prolong the final moment when you realize that after this last test...you're free.
