I didn't realize that the university in which I study is trying very well to adhere to standards that it even uses blue books that are originally made for essay examinations.
Though not strictly for essay examinations, the blue books used in our university are also used for examination purposes. It will serve as our exam booklets. We rarely use exam papers and would rather have our exams using these thin notebooks.
And thinking about examinations will surely bring out a lot of memories, like how I mourned when wI dreadfully fail a big exam, or how wI rejoice when I end up on top of the class. I am not a math wizard, but I had not failed a math examination when I was in secondary school, so it was really a shocker when I got my first failing mark in an advanced algebra class. To add to the sadness of the event, it was my birthday when I took that exam! Well, I guess we really have to experience some things at least once in our lives, don't we?
What's better with use of these blue books rather than examination answer sheets is that I get to have a lot of scratch papers when the blue books are returned. It is because, most of the time, I do not get to fill he booklet up to the last page--so there's a lot of room at the back of the booklet, good enough for doodling and sudden mental jolts that teases me to write about some stuff I heard in class and couldn't seem to forget. Hehe.
Ah well, I guess memories with blue books will not stop to cease while I am in university. How about you what are/were your experiences with your blue book?
