Ok, so this is it; day of the BIG exam. I've had may face surgically attached to my textbook for weeks, hoping the topics I was revising would be on the BIG exam.
I arrived, prompt as ever, and sat myself at the desk. Why is it I always get a desk with one leg shorter than all the others? Anyway, I sat there and filled out all the cover information while the little bald fella at the front read out the instructions we all know. Then, at the stroke of 14:00, the BIG exam began.
For the past week I've spent my time constantly reciting the law of dimishing marginal returns over and over and over again and prayed one of the two essay questions I had to answer would be on it. Needless to say, I had a tiny orgasm when I opened the question paper and saw this little gem:
"3. Explain the law of diminishing marginal returns."
I couldn't believe it; finally I had studied the right topic for an exam, and not just any exam! No! This was the BIG exam! I picked up my pen with a smile so big it was tickling the ears of the people either side of me. Head down, pen on paper; nothing could distract my attention now. So it began:
"The law of diminishing marginal returns is..."
Nothing. Not even a shred of inspiration. I sat up and stared blankly at the clock for half an hour, unable to understand why I had forgotten absolutely everything.
In the end I had to throw random theory and bullshit in hope of salvaging some marks. Fuck.
Time to run away to Mexico.
