And it is a little bit humorous, but in all honesty, I think Waterloo could hit it out of the park on this one and potentially save a lot of money by not getting involved in something that is likely to give them more headaches than the party itself.
It is thinking outside the box, though, and perhaps not sophisticated enough for the likes of their staff.
You guys know an exam is 2.5 hours right? And right after an important exam, students often want to blow off some steam by having a drink? As for planning it after the day, well, plenty of students have a few drinks the night before an exam. Moreover, there's only room for like 500 people or so to write an exam simultaneously, even if you got the entire school writing, that'd only be a fraction of the people who are at the party.
The exam idea is a joke. The idea we’re taking semi-seriously is the road works one.
Hmmm, maybe we could combine them by closing the road to put up a huge tent with tables for writing an examination.
And then sell beer immediately afterward.
I don’t know if they still do it but at least some UW Physics midterms in the Fall term were called “Oktobertest”.
