Oh Oh Oh! Another Thing About School!

Always make sure you know what days exams are on, and never assume differently. Otherwise, you will show up to class and your Statistics professor will say "Okay everyone here's your exam." *ZOINK* That's the sound of my stomach imploding into itself at the realization that I have not read the chapter, I have been away for a week in Georgia, and basically, I don't even know what the information on the test is about. Fortunately for me, it was an open book test, as they all are, and based on my score in the class already, anything over 50% on this exam will guarantee me an A in the class (no less than 90%). So, the exam begins, and I open my textbook and begin to read: "Chapter 6 ... section 1 ... 50 pages to go." I tend to do well in situations like this, I'm not sure why - I can only imagine it has something to do with the fact that in highschool I would find myself doing this on a near-daily basis. I never studied, so every exam was basically improvisation on my part. Ah well, the moral of the story is that just because I did end up getting 90% on the exam and an overall 99.0% in the class, there's no reason to be a slacker.
