 In competitive boat racing, there's a guy whose sole job is to scrub kelp from the hull of the ship.  During a race kelp and other little critters of the sea have a tendency to get build up around the front of the ship, thereby slowing down the velocity of the ship due to the excess friction.  It may not seem like a kelp or two would have a major overall effect on the speed, but once they begin to aggregate, they could have a marked decrease on the overall speed. 

This guy's only job is to scrub all of the barnacles, the kelp and anything else that collects there.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I failed my copyright exam yesterday.  There were just too many questions, and I didn't have enough time to think.  I literally froze for a few minutes, not even knowing where to begin.  It's like I had spent a week preparing for a 10 mile marathon when in fact I was supposed to have prepared for a 200m sprint. 

Not much I can do now, I guess.  Still have four finals within the next 7 days.  Then graduation.  Hopefully the poor mark on copyright won't jeopardize going to the London for the Intellectual Property Institute this summer.  I mean, why would a poor grade in Copyright affect that?  Right?

Also, I think I may have become a member of Dumpsville during this finals period.  But, I guess that's why one would feel the need to scribble analogies about ship racing and kelp.
