My British Literature midterm was completely undeserving of my stress.
That said, I ran low on coffee this morning and was a tad out of it, so I cannot absolutely promise that I did not unwittingly write "fish fish fish" across the page and think it was an absolutely brilliant discourse on the nuances of Shakespearean sonnets. I'll get back to you on that when blood starts to filter through the caffeine in my veins.
Also, I've made a resolution to become an English professor for the sole purpose of assigning Clive Cussler as reading in the midst of fine literature.
The test would be something like,
"13. How does Dirk Pitt escape from the Cuban prison? (3 pts.)
a. MacGyvers a rocket launcher out of gruel and a crashed blimp
b. Seduces the mistress of Fidel Castro*
c. Al saves him, with witty banter ensuing
d. Chuck Norris comes to him in a dream "
Bonus points if you spot where Clive Cussler inserts himself into each novel. I almost wish I were kidding.
...Almost.
* Wait, am I going to have to start making Raul Castro jokes now?

*I think Fidel Castro jokes will be classic for a long time yet.
