Exams or Airport?
April 11, 2008 by adityadesaraju
The letter from the examination school reads,
Please arrive two hours before the exam starts…
As you enter the hall, you are thoroughly checked to make sure you do not have any malicous material on you. Your University card is then scrutinized n-times to verify that the photo on it is actually you. If you forget to get your University card, hell breaks out. You need to convince first yourself that you are actually the guy you claim and then convince the others. Moreover, You are in this glamorous suit and sub-fusc of yours that you own the exam hall. You demand first class !
Does it sound familiar? Yes, it feels just like you are at an airport going through a security check!
The head at the exam hall stands up, hold the mic up and says,
Students, you have 3 hours to complete the exam. If you have anything to ask , do not hesitate to raise your hand. One of us will come to you to answer your queries.Please switch off your cellphones and best of luck.
She was as perfect as a flight stewardess. It looked like she had rehearsed her speach a thousand times. When it was 3 hours over, she stood up and spoke again into the mic
Candidates, your time has now finished. Please stop writting ( like saying, put on your seat belts for landing ). I will indicate now indicate the order in which the students need to hand in their papers and walk out.( oooh ! executive treatment !)
Where are my mileage points, eh? The only instance that I felt I am in an examination hall is when I turned left when the exam finished. My friend nods his head dissapointedly , saying, ” I will have to do the re-sit”. When I turned right, my other friend shows a thumbs down when I asked him how the paper went. Otherwise, I was flying executive class, feeling happy that my journey was smooth !
