I hit my head on a cabinet today and I finally remember some of the holes in my memory from finals week.

  • I’m studying in the lobby at 2:10AM. A Korean guy walks in, passes all the other tables, sits at the piano and starts watching a Korean drama on his laptop. Why did he choose the piano to sit at?
  • Another guy starts playing pool at the pool table at 5:00AM on Friday morning. Either a physics nerd or… no, definitely a physics guy.
  • This only slightly offensive, but nonetheless crass website.
  • Shoeless, baseball-capped magician made a quarter disappear at 4AM. He had an exam that morning apparently.
  • Walking through the undergraduate library on Wednesday night. It was like an Apple store (Macbooks, iPhones, pastel colors!) but with carpet and minorities.

The pharmacy kids would remember those humorous slides that Professor Rochet showed at the end of a lecture a couple weeks ago. Well, I just want to say that I’ve been trolling exam graders since last year. This is the first in what I hope to be a very long-lived series.

Not all of these are from exams, and since some exams are not ever returned, so I’ve had to redraw some of these. Others are parts of long drawn out injokes that would run the entire course of the exam. For example, this first drawing was foreshadowed by me writing the post title on the first page.

dolphin on the exam
It all started with me circling my answer, as is custom, Then sorta morphed into a boat. I believe the allusion is Noah’s Ark, but I’m not sure.

physics cribsheet
This is replicated from my PHYS 221 test on, among other things, relativity. I’ll just let it speak for itself and let the Browncoats deduce the initials in the subscripts. Moving on…

on the fourth exam
I hated that problem soo much. All the answers had to be given ± a standard deviation. I ended up filling the page with work. Luckily, one of the graders in this multiple-TA class played along.

Ah, calculations. And alligation. Wacky fun…
