Free at Last!
Yesterday I took two final exams, and concluded my Fall semester, and my first year as a student at the University of Florida.
My first exam of the day was in Professor McCrea’s Eighteenth Century Novel course. I had been worried about this one for the identification component I knew it would have. My memory is terrible at best, so recalling obscure quotes and names of minor characters in novels I read in late August or September was bound to be a difficult task. I was pleasantly surprised that I knew it all, even if I couldn’t remember as much about Captain Tomlinson as I’d have liked. The second half of the test was an essay, and I wrote mine about the Eighteenth Century meaning of “quality” as it relates to highly individualized characters like Clarissa and Roxana.
My exam in Astronomy was not as brutal as I expected, since many of the questions were recycled from previous tests. I’m crossing my fingers that I can pull off a B in the course.
