Having finished my 12-page, 3,700-word law exam Tuesday night, there was something at least slightly humorous about wandering into the school computer labs shortly before noon today and seeing rooms filled with people frantically – nay, feverishly! – pounding away on the keyboards before the noon deadline.

Well, I say “finished Tuesday night.” I was done with the writing, but had to come to the lab to actually print out the final copy.

Hence, my humor rapidly evaporated when, in quick succession, Word’s spell checker failed, my computer crashed and the printer ran out of toner. Quite vexing.

But I got it done. One more profile to go, and the first semester can officially be marked “conquered.”
