Today I burned my middle finger, the very tip of it, goddamned stovetop saucer.

Tomorrow is my Education Law final. 4 hours.

And it hurts like hell anytime I type an "I" or "K" and a ",".

This. Is ****ing. Great.

Lots of people have to type exams, if i don't then no one can read my exam and i can't read the questions unless there on pink paper with a sans serif font.

The GRE is computer based, for example (although the paper test is still given in some parts of the world). Part of the GRE consists of two essays.

I'm in law school.

That should explain everything.

There's a convenient time to burn yourself? I've been doing it wrong all these years! 🙂

Many law schools require exams to be typed on laptops. They have special programs that save the exam (I just remember this from a former roommate who once panicked because her laptop died right before finals and she needed to borrow someone's, but she needed a windows laptop that wasn't a Sony since they used to crash the program...)

Ravenii, good luck! Gimpy typing or not I am sure you will kick ass.

Go to a pharmacy. They have local anesthesia that can numb the finger.

Good luck.

You type all of those letters with your middle finger? 😕

Uhh, yeah? You do know how to touch type, don't you?

In other news, the burn wasn't as bad as I thought, the pain pretty much went away this morning so I was able to type normally.

And yes, I'm done with that exam. One more to go (tomorrow), and I'm done with my second year! YES!
