Lady Luck

Final exams here in Kursk State Medical University are in a form of essay questions. They give you a couple (usually 3) big topics and usually 5 subquestions. And you answer what you know according to the question asked. Each student picks a question card--or as these Russians like to call - variants. Each variants have different questions. One variant always differ from another variant.

Problem with this system is that different topics have different levels of difficulties. Your final mark all depends on your luck.

I can say that when you sit beside a person in the examination hall and you see their variant, you found out that you can easily answer all of them because you quite understand the topic while you get the variant with the tough questions or the topic for which you do not study really well. No matter how a good student you are in class, but when you get a really fucked up variant during the exam and in the end you got a pathetic 2 (or fail) or a measly 3 (average/satisfactory), it really gets on your nerves doesn't it?

I remember back in our school years, we all get the same questions packed in sealed plastic package. That is fair.

Teah: I've decided to go to Singapore before flying back to Russia on the 5th of August. I'll go on the 2nd maybe? I'll have to ask the parental unit though...

EDIT: Ignore last paragraph. Singapore on the 2nd September. Cz I'm flying to Russia on the 5th September. Jeebus, head not working early in the morning!

Back to my studies... *head on desk*
