Please allow me a moment of complete and utter incoherent panic:

...thank you. The Examination Schools website has finally published the PPE timetable. My exams, apparently, begin on Wednesday 21st May and finish exactly one week later on May 28th, which leads me to the not-appealing conclusion that I'll have eight three-hour exams in seven days, with one day of two exams because in their infinite wisdom, the university don't have exams on a Sunday.

In full, it looks like this:


Wednesday, May 21st - 9.30am, International Relations
Thursday, May 22nd - 2.30pm, Ethics
Friday, May 23rd - 9.30am, Political Theory
Saturday, May 24th - 9.30am, History of Philosophy from Descartes to Kant
Monday, May 26th - 9.30am, Politics in South Asia
Tuesday, May 27th - 2.30pm, Philosophy of Mind
Wednesday, May 28th - 9.30am, Aesthetics and Philosophy of Criticism, 2.30pm, International Relations in the Era of the Cold War

In some ways I'm glad because at least it's over in one high-energy flash, and over quickly - halfway through sixth week, and I'm done - but also, I'm a little concerned about how exhausted I'm going to be, especially as my day with two exams is my last day.

But still. What this boils down to, basically, is that at half past five on May 28th, you are all obliged to come to Exam Schools and shower me with glitter.

In slightly happier news, Holi mubarek and all of that. Now, back to panicking!

I know it's different for everyone, but some of my best exams (e.g. best of my mods papers) have been at the very end of the exam period. One goes beyond tiredness into sublimity! (That, at least, is the theory.)

I will fell any adversaries who get in the way of my attendance at your finishing, and Laura's too. I will KILL THEM with my RAPIER. *channels Geoffrey, always a good thing*

Sublimity. Yes. I hope so. I honestly cannot wait to see you striding out of the crowd with your rapier. I have a feeling it may be the best moment of my life.
