A day in the life of heaven that almost became hell.
5:07 pm
Hallway outside Franz 1178
Throwing around random bits of memorized information with Liz and Elizabeth, basically hanging on to the short-term memory shit for my dear life. The exam is at 5:30pm.
5:15 pm
Turns out the LS kidlets in there only STARTED at 5:00pm...and it's an hour and a half long midterm...those mothers.
A sudden beacon of hope flashes inside of me...it withers immediately...
5:20 pm
The TAs have arrived.
5:45 pm
The herd of cattle (oops I mean people) in the hallway is shuffled outside. Apparently Jentsch is outside and he wants to tell us something. Oh goody.
5:55 pm
Standing just outside the doors of Franz (apparently herds move very slowly). Look! The herd is moving. Let us follow them. To Haines you say? Okay.
It looks like we're still taking the midterm...in our regular classroom. Shoot. I knew it was too good to be true.
6:00 pm
We settle into our seats. Jentsch tells us we can't take the exam in this room because people are scheduled to come use it any minute now. Due to the blissful incompetence of UCLA administrative schedulers of exams, Franz 1178 is double booked tonight. He gives us a choice...throw out exam, take exam in class tomorrow. We choose the latter pretty unanimously.
Tomorrow @ 9:30am, I am taking a 2-hour-long exam in the alloted hour-and-a-half for lecture...50 MC questions minus the essay. Yay.
This is a blessing and a curse. A curse if I don't study this very minute. The problem will be trying to stay awake. And I swear to gawd today the walls in Kerckhoff were closing in on me. I never felt so hyper and dead and hot and dizzy at the same time.
