Relief

Just downed the final exam boss. For those of you unaware, it’s a seasonal boss and it usually involves a massive 300 person raid to do. I don’t know who designs the encounters but sometimes I wonder what goes through their minds when they do it. In any case, things started off a bit slow during the multiple choice phase. All I can say is, all that time spent grinding the weekly lecture raid paid off. During the last week, he gave the “Exam material will only be based on lecture slides” buff which over two thirds of the raid didn’t get.
Skippers.
But yeah, a bit of a struggle during the multiple choice phase (and I hope I maximized my luck stat).
Definitely strongest during the short answer phase as I knocked over every question, definition, and example with confidence.
Now the final essay boss?
Utilizing everything you learned thus far in lecture, how would you go about exploring the issue of a relationship between heritability and musical appreciation?
Another heavy reliance on the luck stat.
It’s okay though. It’s over. Now it’s back to blogging business!
I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Firetree. Currently, I raid 4 nights a week in a hardcore guild. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup. 
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.

Cheers! Congrats on slaying the beast. I hope you get epic loot.
Grats! it is always a relief to everyone, for hardwork you guys did.
Christine´s last blog ..Lately in my guild
Just clearing my mind before my last exam and checking out some wow blogs. Its been 3 weeks since I’ve last logged on to the game and its killing me.
For some reason the only way to make it thru law school exams is if you have a massive haste buff for all pen skills. Not sure if I have it today. Seriously, people write as fast as they can for 3.5 hours and most people complain that they didn’t have enough time to answer all the questions.
Grats. I miss school sometimes. Then I remember exams….
A neat, clean, effecient cursive is going to be your best bet for getting out as much as possible. Look up one of the method systems from the turn of the century, you use your whole arm which sounds unpleasant but there’s more stamina to be had in the larger muscles than the tiny ones of the wrist and hand itself. Good luck!
Hmm can’t edit I guess. That was for Karl.
I like to think of the exams that I wrote as a TA as “pre-nerf Sunwell”. At least it was engineering, so there weren’t any essays like that.
I’m jealous of your essay question… wish I could tackle it myself!
Grats! That must be a load off your shoulders!
It’s funny how everything in reality can be referenced to WoW. My husband and I unfortunately speak in WoW terms waaaay too much… hehe

XD.
Ahh, two more exams to go myself. (You win epicly at your description of the exam boss.)
Enjoy the holidays I’d say!
In our school-system we have exams after the holidays. Which ruins them completely because instead of enjoying Christmas and new years we study…
