Chem exam day approached and the same turn of events occured on my way to class. I thought to myself "should I skip physics and study for a really important exam," and answered with a "yes." I went to the library and rode the elevator to the 5th floor and luckily discovered some friends were studying as well. Slowly we began to converse on certain topics for the exam that we had issues with. I left for the floor under them after a while of productive conversation. The seats were all packed but I found one in front of this girl. I politely asked if I could take the seat, and she replied with a "yes." I began to study for the next few hours until showtime arrived. I thanked the girl and left for my class. I arrived in the class with 200 or so other students. I grabbed an exam and headed for my seat. I glanced over the problems and thought to myself "OH FUCK." The exam was very tough and I slowly began to realize the ruthlessness of my professor. I sped throught the ones I knew and skipped the ones I didn't. I stared at the clock and it was 5 minutes before class was to end. I looked at my skipped problems and counted 10 out of the 25 questions. I rapidly flipped to the page of the problems that I missed and thought to myself "I don't know how to do this." I felt so overwhelmed and frustrated. Slowly I drifted away and day dreamed about my future of becoming a doctor. Writing medications and counting Rx Pills at the hospital slowly turned into flipping burgers at McDonalds. I took my sweet sweet time to finish the test and ended up finishing 40 mins after the class ended. I rose from my seat, put on my P-coat and turned around to see that the majority of the class was still taking the test. I slowly realized that I wasn't alone. Gave my test to the professor and headed for the door. As I went up the steps to leave the class I stared at my various friends in the classroom and we laughed at one another. I left the room and seemed to stop sweating. I went outside and put on my aviators to hide that I was actually crying because of that callous exam.
