And then there's the snot

Why I hate finals:

1. Not remembering anything at first, then remembering too much and running out of time.
2. Hand cramps. In the same category, middle finger callus.
3. Blue books.
4. Little tiny desks that can't hold the test, your booklet, and a cup of coffee.
5. People who sit next to you during the final that have never sat next to you the entire semester. I need a one desk buffer!
6. The professor who reads the newspaper the entire time.
7. Your pencil gets dull, or breaks off 15 times, and the eraser gets smudgy and so does the paper.
8. Realizing that you spent hours memorizing 30 flashcards for what turns out to be 4 identifications.
9. Essay questions. All.
10. Getting a runny nose halfway through that is too small to snork up but too big to ignore. Fighting the entire 90 minutes with that same snot because you don't want to use your sleeve. I hate that.

One down, four to go.

Fuck conventions. I use my sleeve when warranted.

Wow...all the reasons why I hate school. So glad to be out. Finals season is the worst. Good luck with the rest of them.

You know what I hate even more? When you are walking outside and its cold out and your nose starts running and you go to wipe it and end up with runny snot all over your hand and you wipe it discretely on your coat only to realize its so cold outside, the boogers freeze and leave an obvious trail of snot.

It happened to a friend of mine once.
