An Exam to Remember

A few minutes before 10 am on Friday the 6th of May, 2005 will definitely be one to remember. I had finished the exam only a few minutes earlier, I reviewed my paper, with the same degree of thoroughness, that I had displayed over the years (atleast whenever I had finished the exam in time), trying to make sure I had not made any mistakes, reviewing the answers, adding a few additional comments here n there. I did stop for a moment to ponder the consequence of what I was about to do. I was turning in my exam paper, unlike previous final exams, I did not feel an immediate rush of excitement but I was lost in thought, a quite reflection as I thought to myself about all these years.

I could not resist this post, but I wanted to capture my feelings at this time. The previous night was spent unlike no another, even though I was completely prepared, I spent hours (until 2:15 AM last night) going over the contents one more time. May be I was feeling nostalgic and could not let go of the books, but I cherished every moment of it.
