Poetry in, Like, Woot

"Right from the start, I encountered a host of unexpected misunderstandings. The first question I er.got was, “But how long should my poems be?” This question was repeated throughout the semester when we turned to the genres of drama and fiction, and I never found a satisfactory answer.

Cheating is Wrong

Type your notes and re-size them to font size 6. If you can't read this from a distance, then you must be wearing thick glasses. Ergo, you are typecast as a nerd and should not be cheating. Print your notes in "toner-based copier." If you're too cheap to use the 30 centavo copier, then cheat blatantly.


Stick a layer of adhesive tape on your notes and cut them into strip size.



Soak the strips in water (make sure it's cold)


Peel the tape after a few minutes


Hang your "cheat" tape on a hanger and air-dry so it would be sticky. Now you can stick it either in your examination sheet, your pen or your drink.
