finals.
Today, I finished my academic life in Cape Town. Finals were more stressful at University of Cape Town without a doubt. At this “administratively challenging” school, in my first final, I folded over the corner of the paper in the wrong manor after I finished the exam, at my second exam, I went to the wrong room at first and ran to the correct room with one minute to spare. A student is not allowed to leave if he or she finishes the exam in the last 20 minutes of the time alotted, and there is an excessive amount of papers needed for signing, student numbers etc. Taking the test has been the easiest part.
University of Cape Town is a breathtaking academic environment. I am going to miss going to school on a Mountain, with ivy covered walls, fountains, the Rhodes memorial just a short hike away, with a view of the entire city at the shoreline. Not to mention, the school has the best muffins anyone will ever have. It almost takes away from the fact that it is very difficult to learn how to turn in a paper, pick up a graded paper, and conduct spellcheck with British spelling.
So now that I am finished at UCT, I have one week left to live it up in Cape Town, and boy, am I going to live it up.
