EXAM FROM HELL.

Yes the above says it all :(
My lecturer told me and the other 100 students...."don't be smart arses and study just the last 5 topics of this subject because its the freshest in your mind. You may find you won't get ??s on these". So, i decided i would do topics 4-8........the last being 13.
I opened the exam paper to find 12 assorted ??.......we had to answer 4 in essay fashion a minimum of one page. Each ?? worth 10 marks.
I looked over and over..................not one ?? on anything i had studied.......all ?? were on organised crime........crime and misconduct commission.......illicit drugs, all being the last 5 topics..grrrrrrrrrrrrr. The other ??s were kind of pertaining to what i had studied but the wording was bizarre. I was stressed to the max. So i did what any stressed to the max exam taker would do.......i manipulated the ??s to my topics, wrote 2 pages for each ?? and am now praying they will take pity on me and pass me!!!

Yiiipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........school is out till March!!!!!

Btw.......i got a promotion today. I knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when. My boss sold his house and is moving south to be with his son. I will miss him heaps....his advice has been valuable. The firm i work for is based in Brisbane and myself and others work from our homes. So now it is my job to allocate cases to 6 other workers here. They come to me for training and when they have a problem with clients...police and courts of course call me. It will be a challenge, juggling it all and study plus my own cases!!! Ahhh well..........life's a challenge.

nite all :o)

Thank you so much Brian. Yep you are the first. I have actually had a few negative comments from friends/family as to me taking this on. I think people are worried i won't cope with my Uni studies as well as being in court and supervising 6 staff on cases.
I even had doubt myself, so i called my boss in Brisbane and asked if she thought i was really the one they wanted running the show up here........after being told its a huge responsibility....that my boss has big shoes to fill etc.........she insisted i was the best...sooooooo....i'm doing it!!
