Tests and Exams

There are somethings that happens to you and no matter how hard you try to shake it off and not really think much about it, you just can't because you know how important that thing is and how messed up the whole situation might turn out to be if things end up not going your way.

Well, my exams finished about a week ago but there's this one particular exam that stood out from the rest, it's definitely one that I won't be forgetting in a while until I see my results because I feel like if I will be failing any course, it will be this one.

So some few months ago, I had missed my mathematics test. I'm not sure if I already told the story here but basically what happened was that the lecturer had announced to the class that we would be writing her test next week and when it got to next week, she had postponed the test to the upper week and her reason was because the number of student she saw turn up for the test was way more than the number of students that usually attends her class.

So she postponed the test for another one week and lectured instead. It got to the upper week and for some weird reasons, I completely forgot about the test and didn't go to school that day. Then I went to school the next day and heard that they indeed wrote the test so I just made up my mind to prepare for the exam instead.

Well, the maths exam finally came and during the exam, this eternal supervisor walked up to me and gave me minus 20 on my answer sheet. The crazy thing was that the exam was so hard that I doubt everything I had written was even up to 20 marks. And her reason for doing that was because she had seen me look back just once and just decided to be a witch and frustrate my life.

After the exam, I had gone to the lecturer's office to explain and plead with her and seeing how the lecturer wasn't the one who gave me the minus 20, she had agreed to look into it and decide on what to do. What that basically means is that depending on what I wrote, she would decide if I would be punished or not.

Now I honestly can't say that is good news because I didn't write her test and need all the marks I can get from this exam, I just pray that she decides to pardon me and that I get enough marks to at least pass the course and not carry it over because I honestly don't want to.

I can't carry it over.
