College Finals

At Duke University, there were four sophomores taking Organic Chemistry. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms and labs, etc., that each had an "A" so far for the semester.

These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.

Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan to come back in time to study, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn't have a spare, and couldn't get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.

The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were elated and relieved. They studied that night and went in the next day at the time the professor had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.

They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was something simple about free radical formation. "Cool," they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy." Each finished the problem and then turned the page.

On the second page was written: (For 95 points): Which tire?

  5. First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which
    I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself
    and clear your head prior to writing. I've had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thank you!

  15. I usually do not leave a great deal of comments,
    however i did some searching and wound up here "College Finals".
    And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. Is it just me or does it look like some of the remarks come across like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at additional places, I'd like to follow everything
    fresh you have to post. Would you make a list
    of every one of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
