Our final examinations in Constitutional Law 1 is divided into two parts. The first part is an oral exam, where we would be asked, individually, to answer a handful of random-picked questions by reciting, in verbatim as much as possible, the proper provision from the Constitution. That meant we had to memorize the entire Constitution. The second part of our final exam is a five-hour written test.

The oral part was set for today. When I got to school in time for the exam, I was secretly hoping by one way or another, I would get a few extra hours to study more. I’m a hopeless crammer like that. To my disbelief, after two hours of waiting for our professor, our class president announced that the professor forgot all about our oral exams today, or that he claims that there was a misunderstanding in the schedule. So we all agreed to have it re-set for tomorrow, together with the five-hour written exam.

I was thrilled. A little disappointed and annoyed, but largely thankful that I have another afternoon and another night to go through the Constitution again, and read the Supreme Court decision on the unconstitutionality of the MILF-GRP Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domains, which shall be the main issue of our written exam.

Here are pictures of my blockmates before and after anxiously waiting for our Consti Law 1 professor.
