brin_bellwayI was supposed to have my midterm this morning, but the exam centre is having a snow day. (*looks out window* ...admittedly, I can see why.)
I...don't actually know what happens in this case, and of course since they're closed it's not like I can call them up and ask. I don't know if I'll be able to do it this same week, or if I'll have to wait until next week.
(I do know that my university is not going to mind, at least. When I told them I was having my exam ""on February 12th"", this actually means promising to have the exam on February 12th *or the 10 business days thereafter*, and exactly when within this period I have the exam is between me and the exam centre. As long as I stay within those bounds, they don't even want me to bother telling them if I'm late.)
((Fun fact: as long as the *beginning* of your exam window is before the semester deadline, the exam is officially not late even if you don't actually take the exam until after the deadline. Yes, I *did* once exploit this loophole at the end of a particularly rough semester to effectively get a free three-day exam-only extension. I asked first to clarify that this was in fact allowed.))
I'm not even really worried about the exam itself: I did the practice exam yesterday, and I got 95%, and it felt *easy*. But I *would* still like to get it over with, and failing that I would at least have liked to go to bed tonight *knowing* whether or not I have an exam tomorrow.
