i guess it will all depend on what i can do. i mean, i said i don't have a problem with tests or exams. i find the test / exam room (and people in the room) quiet and focused enough. so i don't need test or exam accommodations.
i will say that i'm contemplating whether it will be better for me to play the scramble all over the other puppy dogs but don't get caught trampling by the security guard next year... to try and get a seat in one of the first few rows of the biggest lecture theatres they have on campus to avoid the figety figets and ponytail flippers... to minimise the whole 'oooh yeah that test for that other class was soooo horrid' chatter before the lecture starts... or whether i'm best to just stay home and catch the online version on class forum.
if i got a 'special seat' it would make me most hated person in the class. obviously. i'm pretty f*ck*ng certain i'm not the only person who is immensely bothered by the overcrowding in first year classes...
even in later year labs... apparently things aren't so bad in second year because there are less students. but i guess that means they just cram those fewer students into a smaller space. so all that happens really is that those who are less focused go do something else so you finally end up with people who are able to focus appropriately. people who... aren't 'integrated'. you know... talking about the gym in the library and food in the gym and class while they are eating...
anyway...
i think the moral i'm supposed to take is that the procedure doesn't f*ck*ng matter. it is only worth a very few marks really. most of the lab is theory that can be done beforehand. so... who cares. who cares if i f*ck up the procedure at step one (like my second lab) or step two or step three. who f*ck*ng cares. fairly sure i'm not supposed to.
