After a disappointing first exam where I for some reason couldn't remember a thing - I really started to worry when it took me several minutes to work out what date it was - the micro exam went quite well.
My memory has worried me a bit recently, surely it is not normal to not remember what you did yesterday or read two minutes ago. The really annoying thing was that I had prepared so much for this exam and been so focused. So I was pretty down on Monday night after producing only a fraction of what I actually knew.
But then things were sort of put into perspective when I collapsed on Tuesday morning.
Spending hours and hours in the emergency room waiting for them to try and figure out what the heck was wrong with me somewhat ruined the run up to the micro exam, but got me thinking that there are much worse things in life than underperforming on an exam.
Luckily they didn't find anything seriously wrong with me, and after seeing a specialist on Wednesday I was sent home reassured that as far as they could see I would live to see quite a few more exams.
So this left me with just over 24 hours to prepare for the micro. Not ideal, but somewhat I managed to cram in the main models this time, and reproduce it on Friday.
As expected we got the neoclassical farm household model, and after spending Thursday rewriting it again and again on this whiteboard it somewhat stuck.
