100 things: 3

issenlloWow, LJ has been not working for me since this morning. Very sad, LJ. Why do you want me to pay for your services, anyway?
Still, exams over! Well, they were over on Wednesday, and I was catching up on Criminal Minds and decompressing. And cleaning my desk.
If it's the last exam for that term, my guess is most people do stuff along the lines of:
1) get drunk;
2) get sleep; or
3) party.
Under (2) is all the things we neglected to do while mugging for exams, like running errands, returning library books, etc. And then there's the one thing I hate most: talking about the exam.
I'm aware there's like, two camps here. There are people who want to discuss the questions, which ones they chose (if there's a choice of essay questions, for example), how they've answered it, whether they answered it this way while their friends answered that way, and oh! they totally forgot to make this point, woe.
Then there's the other camp that I'm in, that totally loathes this competitive comparison of How Much Smarter I am. Really, I can't stand it. Never did. If I'm confident about having done well, it just sounds like bragging: I did this, this and this, and what about you? If I'm not too confident about it, really, the less I want to torture myself with it the better. (I definitely want to know what's the best answer in the end, but post-exam anxious rehashing is not, in my view, the best time to do it.)
I'm usually the first out of the exam hall because I really can't bear talking about the exam. Exams can be challenging, even occasionally fun. But once it's done, I'm really more interested in What Else Can I Do Now.
So I went to the museum. ^__^;; Yeah, I'm aware that I'm not sociable at all. And then I watched a movie. (Battleship, because the Avengers movie doesn't show until next week, dammit.)
Off to read a real book now.
