I Finished my papers!!! At 1220 today when i walked out of the examination hall. I have never seen anything quite like it today. The paper was 1.5 hours long and we have 30 MCQ. That gives 3 minutes per question and under "university regulations", no one is allowed to leave in the frst 30 minutes. So there everyone was, sitting in their seats impatiently for 30 minutes, and as soon as we reached the 30-minute mark, the hands of more than half of the people in the examination hall went up to hand in their examinations scripts. I was pretty amazed. I wonder how many people actually did check through their scripts. I realised that the people here dun always check throught their script before handing up. However, i did think that the teacher overestimated. One hour would have been juz nice. i checked through (twice!) and then handed in my paper 50 minutes into the exam. By then there were less than 10 people left in the 200+ people exam hall.
Went to
Wetherspoons for lunch with Tania. Had minted lamb burger. Thought the portions were huge, but the food was nt too bad,. Value for money. And then walked around. Bought some presents etc etc.
The weather is holding up. That's always good. Apparently it's going to be better tomorrow and thursday!!!
Am searching for shopping centres now. Iona and I want to do some shopping before we go back, but she wants to go somewhere where there is a Mango and I want to go somewhere where there is a H & M. That gives us only 4 options: London,
Festival Place @ Basingstoke,
The Oracle Shops @ Reading and
Bluewater . I dun mind any really.
Will need to reach the airport at 8pm next Monday. But considering how horrible the M25 jams can get, Synn told me i should leave at ard 5.30pm. And Terminal 3 is not actually a shopper-friendly place. Oh well. Rather to sit in the airport and wait than to miss my plane isn't it? And i am lucky since Iona have to wait 8 hours in transit in the Dubai airport.
Also juz realised that
French Open started today in the "romantic" city of Paris (I think Paris, i think snobbish Parisians and dog poo). Roddick and Paradorn lost in their first rounds. It's a pity that i am so near, but i can't go watch my favourite grand slam.
