Oh BTT is waking up again, great to see it's still alive. AlthoughI have noexams anymore, yay yay yay! But I wouldn't mind having some massagetherapy.We used to have a preventorium, or whatever it's called I'm not sure,but itwas working not only during the exam week and you had to be involved insomecrazy students' organization to get a voucher there. I remember someonetold

me about something similar, it was a workshop for blind masseurs, and
everyone could have a go, and try out a massage session, it's funny though,

how can just a single time do any good? Now the exams, I thinkphilosophy is

nothing but talking a lot of nonsense at the exam, and wowing the teacher
with saying something smart and something that doesn't make sense. That's
what philosophy is basically all about, lol. Certainly it's sometimes more
fascinating, but when I had my oral  philosophy exam, it was something like
that, but again, it depends on the teacher, maybe in your case it's
something different. :) Anyways, good luck to all of you guys on your
finals! May your professors be kind and may there be a lot of talking about
food food food thingies, lol!
