Very soon -- much sooner than I'd like -- I'll be embarking on a terrifying, unprecedented journey into a two-day final exam. Given the state of my knowledge, to have 48 consecutive hours over which to demonstrate the principles of the economic analysis of law is more a curse than a blessing. For students who paid attention in class, it's enough time to produce sophisticated, well-written answers -- answers that a shorter exam would have precluded. But due to my general lack of motivation and the voluminous nature of the assigned reading for this class, I don't know that I have it in me to match their dilligence. While I hope to be inspired to academic excellence, I doubt I'll search too hard for elusive answers despite the fact that the materials for the course -- and presumably the answers to the exam -- will be sitting in a yellow folder beside me. Accordingly, the 48 hours is likely going to consist of seemingly interminable frustration, repeated vows to pay more attention next semester, desperate reliance on Wikipedia, and the haphazard formulation of what I hope are acceptable answers to questions I don't really know the answer to.
Wish me luck.

I just love school. There's so much to learn about how to succeed in school that by the time you're successful, it's time to retire the school career.
It is blatantly obvious that you have never had the pleasure of a 48-hour exam. For if you had, you would decry any institution that would inflict such torture on its unsuspecting patrons.
