Exam Haiku

Although Greg did not take an exam this May, he did proctor one, here's what he did to pass the time:

My calculator
Guides me thought the exam and
Is my only friend

I leave the buttons
Mashed up and down to find the
Lettered answer choice

My earplugs have not
Nor will they be approved by
The supervisor

The overhead lights
Flickering fluorescently
Casting quick shadows

At last I take this
Exam but before I am finished
I must return it

Forgotten pencil
Prohibits me from pure joy
Oh borrowed pencil

Lost, 24 and
American Idol were
Exam casualties

The first weekend since
February that I won’t
Spend with my I.T.

The real question is
How did I study so much
And know so little

More anxiety
Now I learn that caffeine is
A diuretic

Upon my final
Review the answer sheet looks
Like a Christmas tree

If I fail this test
Again my life will continue in
A holding pattern

Black-Scholes stained my soul
Dirty measure theory tricks
I cannot forgive

When my life starts up
Again in two and half
Hours the sun will shine

My red swivel chair
Tweaks my spine representing
My site of failure

My neighbors coughing
His pencil chewing his lack
Of grooming sicken

The silence in here
Is not that quiet given
The street construction

Which of the first five
Letters will I choose for this
Impossible crap
