Finishing With a 3 Hour 4 Minute Bang
for 3 hours and 4 minutes, i sat in a classroom writing in a blue book knowing in the back of my mind that i could drop the pen at any moment and begin 5 weeks of holiday. it was not an intellectually-stimulating situation. however, i powered through my religion 309 exam, getting into a groove and writing one and a half blue books. i felt pretty good leaving the room because i knew that i had given it my best shot: i remembered what i had studied, backed up my essays with relevant biblical references, and answered all the questions. even if i had forgotten some stuff, it didn’t matter because i would have run out of time anyway. in other words, i had done the best i could given the 3 hours (and 4 minutes) i had. so now i’m DONE for the next 5 weeks. christmas break goes for 2 weeks, then i’m taking my interim off, which is another 3 weeks. every calvin student can take an interim off in their four-year career, and i’m doing it now. i have no idea how it plays out in a five-year situation, which is what i’m aiming for. maybe i’ll find out when i become a super senior!
