It was a literature class , so we wrote the exam in a " blue book , " which is a fairly common way of taking an exam in college . I arrived to the classroom , and the professor passed out the shrink-wrapped booklets . The professor also handed out a sheet of paper with five writing prompts . We had to choose two of them and write our essays in the blue book . When everyone had received their materials and appropriately labeled everything , we began writing . The prompts asked us to compare two novels that we had read in the course , and we had to be very thorough . And I was faster than about half of my classmates , some of whom had to use all 3.5 hours that the session lasted in order to finish . Question: when was the blue book opened?
