My friend JJ told me a great story about our Biblical Theology exam. It highlights for me just how radically different it is studying with Christians. Exams the Christian way.
So the story goes...
One of the guys in our year was running late for our Biblical Theology exam. When he arrived out of breath, the roll had already begun being marked and this poor bloke couldn't find his allocated seat, much to the amusement of the rest of us. Eventually it was located beside JJ immediately before the reading time began and he must have been a bit flustered. As a moment later the invigilator* told us to start reading time, this guy turned over his exam, picked up his pen and started writing furiously. Of course JJ couldn't say anything, because you can't speak during an exam, but this guy was busily writing away unbeknownst to the invigilator. By the time the announcement was made to "Begin writing", he had already finished the first three questions.
"Begin writing". He stopped. Looked up at the invigilator. Put down his pen. Looked at JJ quizzically. JJ shrugged his shoulders.
But here's where it gets interesting. The guy then sat there for ten minutes not writing anything because he felt guilty. He was doing his penance.
*I just learnt this word so I'm using it as much as possible.
This is the most awesome thing EVER..
