Well then I've done it, today I had my exam in International Law. Love the subject, very exciting and interesting. I've pushed myselg unusally hard to study. But it isn't much use when you can't tell time properly. I had six hours to reply to six questions; ampel time one should think. And I did think so, until, when answering the fourth and I realised, I have about an hour and a half left to finish this one and the next to. F***! Where did time fly? I stressed through the second last question and somehow managed to answer the last one in 20 minutes (not my best handwriting). Few. And just when I'm about to hand my exam in I realise it's not eight o'clock, it's seven. I have a whole hour left. I did sit down again with the intent of reviewing the last to questions, of redoing them. But I had no energy and I didn't feel there was much I could rescue since I'd have to start from scratch (sort of). SO I handed it in anyways and no I'm bitter, disapointed and angry at myself. And womdering: does someone who can't tell time deserve to study at uni and perhaps graduate? Sigh.

At least you spent lots of time on the first 4 - that'll help you!
I couldn't cope with a six hours straight of exams - no wonder you got your times muddled up!
I'm just back from Hong Kong and with the travel-time difference and the UK clocks changing my sense of time is completely screwed too! Went for lunch yesterday without thinking and then checked my watch; it was still only 10AM! I'd only been in the office for an hour! Oops!
As they say: always look on the bright side of life? But still I'm glad I'm not the only chronically impaired person (albeit you can blame your jet lag). Six straight hours is the standard for all my exams - am looking forward to another one in January. Good luck with adapting to being back home.
Wow - my brain really would melt if I was sat at my seat writing for 6 hours!
