It's definitely exam season at Trinity - the libraries are completely full all day long (no one buys text books so come study time everyone is at the library), very few people are outside, and everyone is focused on studying. It's pretty crazy, but that's how it is here. There is very little assessment during the semester, so people don't bother learning things as they go. Then comes exams, when everyone realizes just how little they learned and so camp out in the library and feverishly go over notes for about a month. Trinity has a week long dead-day period, and then about 3 weeks of exams, so things are spread out more than UT and cramming is a bit more feasible, though I probably should have started a bit earlier.
I had my first exam on Monday and it wasn't too bad, I don't know how they grade here so I'm not sure how well I did but I am confident that I at least passed. Also, in the middle of the exams, they bring you tea and coffee :) It's very cute and quite nice! I've got another exam tomorrow, then Monday, Wednesday, a week off and my final one June 3rd. Twenty three hours after I finish that exam, I get on a plane home! It's crazy how fast things go!
Pretty much all of my free time now is studying, literally 8 or more hours a day. It's very sad, but its been raining a lot which makes spending all day inside less depressing. I made carrot cake after my last exam as a mental break, and to enjoy while studying. My room mates were very happy with that idea too :) Lots of tea and lots of studying still to do, so back to the library I go.
