You think they're over?
Soon, you'll start to miss exams.
They're part of you now.
(Sad, but true, at least IMO. I hated them, but only realised much later that we all come to count on exams to measure where we stand. That means security of a kind. In the After-Life, it's a lot harder to tell how you're doing...
Wistful old git, reminiscing about student life? Oh, go on then...)
