Yep, 41 for me, and still get them occasionally during times

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...


Dec 11, 2017, 10:17 AM

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.

Re: Exams start today - Good luck Clemson students !!!!

I graduated 15 years ago and I still swear I missed an entire course one semester. Woke up the week of finals and I was like, I don't think I ever dropped that class

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Happens to me all the time...


Dec 11, 2017, 10:33 AM

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.

Wonder why this is such a common dream...


Dec 11, 2017, 10:54 AM [ in reply to Re: Exams start today - Good luck Clemson students !!!! ]

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...

Oh good, I'm not the only one who does that

I used to have that dream (nightmare?) for


Dec 11, 2017, 12:22 PM [ in reply to Re: Exams start today - Good luck Clemson students !!!! ]

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.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I graduated 30 years ago and I still have that nightmare


Dec 11, 2017, 11:26 AM

occasionally where I arrive in class and find out it's Final Exam day and I didn't know about it...
