Is that an exam where you measure distance or something? :)

In Russia we have university exams each semester. And this here they’re going to happen via distance learning. Idk how you call that in English TBH.

We call it ... distance or remote learning.

Examination and sending relevant documents through this fangled thing called the Internet, by means of media, while also turning on the camera so that the examiners can see you from a long distance.

Long-distance exams are... doable. Except for that one time I did that and I had 10 mins to rush and scan every page of my answer sheet onto the already-slow school intranet because everyone was using it.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

We still have to use our handwritings and truth be told, our professors were aware of it. That is why it is open-book, and the questions are phrased in the ways that you can't just Google (unseen questions, super tough) or badger someone for the solutions. They WILL know.

Trust me, my man. They know.

Ahh, sorry to hear about your ear and your foot, and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Yeah, I stubbed mine a few weeks ago SO hard, and boy it actually bruised up a tad.
