Towards the tail-end of my two-hour ordeal with 3 Economics Data Response Questions, I realized that I had made a fatal error two paragraphs into the final part of my third question. 
Stifling an obscenity, I took a deep, soothing breath, raised my hand for an additional sheet of paper, and began re-writing my answer, finishing in under ten minutes. I must say that that answer is the one which I am, naturally, least proud of. 
That said, I didn't dread the paper completely, possibly because almost every question that came out was something already expected. 
While half of my classmates lingered in the SAC for an hour more, Daryl, Mel and I joined Justin and Patrick in the library to start studying for tomorrow's History Regional Paper. About 2 hours in, we decided to get our Oxford Interview applications done, and the end result was 4 sealed envelopes weighing, hopefully, under 500g. I then followed Daryl and Arjun Eastward home, as the latter had kindly offered to help us with the whole FedEx thing.
