I hate it when things like this happen.

We were given an hour and a half to complete our first exam in Asian Women and Religion. I took thirty-five minutes, which did not make the professor happy. But, I was typing the exam, so it took far less time and fit far more information onto a page. And, the topic was something I am quite familiar with (to put it mildly), so essays required no advance planning and I instantly recalled vocab terms and their definitions.

I spent the rest of the hour waiting for Maddo and wondering if this is how she feels during discussions in Bible and Literary tradition.

The exam was, quite simply put, thirty times easier for me than it seems to have been for anyone else.
