14 hours
Time: 1:30 a.m.
Mental status: weary, disheartened
Eyesight: blurring
Grade outlook: not good
So I'm 14 hours in to my 24 hour monster of a final exam. It took me 11 hours to get the first draft done. 11 hours. And I type pretty damn fast. Unfortunately, said first draft was approximately 2,800 words over the 3,000-word limit. Not good. So the past 3 hours have been spent excising huge chunks of my masterpiece. I'm afraid I'm taking out all of the substantive content and leaving vague generalizations that will get me nothing. But I don't know what else to do. The more specific I am, the less space I have to answer the rest of the questions. And these are broad damn questions, let me tell you.
I want to cry.
