of stress. I will always equate final exams with a slow descent into He!l.
Still remember Dr. Marullo telling me and two of my classmates who went begging, and I quote:
"Boys, I've flunked kids out of here and sent them to Viet Nam, you aren't going to get a break from me." No extra pressure there, right? Thank God we were about out of Viet Nam by that time.
And, yes, thankfully, after mainlining coffee and NO-DOZ for 3 days straight, we all passed.

I took a 300 level Econ class...

and the instructor (Dr. David Dumont) was a visiting professor from some other school in the state (I don't remember which). This was a labor law class and quite possibly the most boring class I took the entire time I was in school.
Dr. Dumont would lecture and then go-off on these long tangents about topics totally unrelated to the course material.
He gave two tests the entire semester; a midterm and a final.
I spent three days and nights re-reading the entire textbook because I had absolutely no idea what was going to be on the final exam.
Thank God he graded on a curve.

I really don't miss that part of school. I graduated a year ago and I still wake up in a panic after having dreams of sleeping through a final.

I walk in the class, usually a match class, after not attending for weeks only to find out there is a test and, obviously, I am totally unprepared.

I have the same one about missing a class and being totally unprepared for the final exam. Don't know why this crops up in dreamland so often as I graduated 29 years ago...

years after finishing. I would wake up and think, "there is a class I haven't been to all semester". It has finally stopped now 26 years later.
