Exam

This week we had our only exam. It was awful. The exam itself wasn't bad. Had I actually read through the entire book (which I know is completely my own fault) I could have done well. Before this exam, I had heard from other people that the exam was so hard that even reading the book wouldn't help. One of the example questions I got from one friend was, "What is the first sentence of the third chapter." I decided, based on this, that I would just skim for the "really important stuff." Then I got an email from a friend that had the attachment that Dr. Feinberg sent out last year after the exam. When I found out that the exam could have been written by our leaders or that they could've seen the exam to make us a study guide, I was mad. The whole exam was more of a test of whether or not our leaders cared about us. Us "peons" got the short end of the stick when it was our leaders fault. I thought in the real world that the leader gets the blame when their followers screwed up. I do take complete blame for not having read the book cover to cover. This whole thing taught me to do your best, even when someone tells you that mediocracy is ok. I also learned that you need to push your leader to help you. The next time I'm a in a leader position, I will try to remember this and help my followers shine.
