Don't they prepare you people at all?

: : : ...is it me or are the people who set exam timetable sadistic bastards? Over the next month or so, I have 5 exams. Now, you'd think it'd be possible to spread them out reasonably, over a couple of weeks. Not gonna happen... I have one on the 12th of June, then two (right after each other) on the 20th, one on the 25th and one on the 26th. Hate to be a moaning Minnie, but this seems a little crazy (although not as bad as last year, when I had FOUR on one day - I was a nervous wreck for weeks after that). I go to the exams office, and ask if there's anything they can do, and what happens? I get politely told to go fuck myself (but not in so many words). OF course, it might make a little sense if the college was prepared to eleveate some of the tension on their students by making the timetables a little more flexible, thus leading to better grades and a better reputation for the college, but I suppose that'd be too sensible. Thank God Uni's only 5 months away...
