Relieved!

Finally ! Exams r over and i'm so relieved :) ..n back in the office today. If you must know, they went well...i might just manage to clear all 4 papers...the first three i did all on my own...and the last one was mostly from the little strips of paper which were floating around the room...but they were notes from the course material, so they must be right, right? Except that the figures in the numerical questions seemed to differ a bit..but the examiner is not going to read everything na? (Though i wonder whether he will laugh or be upset if he notices all 50 answer sheets will have the same answers correct n the same stupid mistakes ?!) But seriously, i was so excited about my first full-fledged cheating experience...i could'nt stop grinning all the way home ;)

But the invigilator was really kind u know. She let us finish copying till 10 mins after the exam got over as me n my neighbour got the last bits of the notes in the end n we had not yet finished writing them even after everyone else had left the class room!

I'm not very experienced with cheating in the exams but ive got a lot of experience in being cheated from...in school and in college n now in the degree program. As a result i have suffered pencils being poked into my back n shirt being tugged at from behind and even kicks under the table...directed at either my chair or my foot...in a bid to draw attention by my fellow students..i once slapped a guy during the college days for jerking out my hair-band in the middle of an exam..i got so infuriated by his behaviour ! But hey, somewhere u gotta draw the line! The poor invigilator just stood there n did'nt know what to do ..! He was a cute guy too...his most oft repeated line..atleast for me was "the vani, why are you the late today?" Someone needs to tell him that cool teenagers do'nt go to class until half of it is over. How come he did'nt even notice that the roof top canteen over-looked the boys college next door?

Some students are really innovative when it comes to cheating in class...they have strips of notes in their socks, under the watch or the belt n God knows where else, and some would scribble stuff on their hankies ..others had their friends throw some notes inside the class from the window after the exam had begun and some would come early n write on their alloted tables itself or will stick notes with a chewing gum under the tables n chairs..people have now been inspired by the Munnabhai MBBS movie to use their mobile phones to have their friends dictate their answers to them..ofcourse u need a wireless ear plug for this one....but the latest one i heard was that you can take pics of the text n diagrams in ur phone n zoom it n copy from there !!

Forgive me if i have introduced naughty thoughts into ur minds...but if u have some great experinces or ideas to share bout cheating..i'd love to hear 'em..!
