Ever hate it when you're about to sneeze, and you wind up for it, you get your elbows bent and your hands in front of your face, you close your eyes in anticipation, you take a deep breath....and then it never comes? And then you go, "What the hell?" And then sometimes you'll pull a take two a second later when you're not expecting it? Yeah, I hate that too.
The same thing happened today with my Biopsychology exam. A little background. For the first time this semester, I stayed up late. This actually means something, because I do NOT stay up late. I make it a point to get 8 hours of sleep a night and to go to bed by midnight. I can't function without my beauty sleep. Instead, I spent the late night hours studying, going over notes and recordings, poring over flash cards, all until 3 AM, then showed up to 10 AM class all wired up and ready to go....except the TA wasn't.
For some reason, the TA didn't have the tests, didn't copy them, was hung over from a wild Thursday....something, anyway, the TA had the tests and didn't show up. Professor Lee (who's normally a very kindly woman) looked PISSED. She was furiously working the phone trying to grab a hold of the TA.
We all sat around for 10 minutes, and by 10:15 it had sunk in that we weren't going to be hazed today. Even if the TA came, there wouldn't be enough time. Dr. Lee profusely apologized and told us she would reschedule the test for Monday.
Lots of people looked like it was the second coming of Christ. People like me, on the other hand, were pissed the fuck off. I had done all this preparation coming in and I do NOT want this exam hanging over my V-Day weekend, especially with an O-Chem exam next Thursday.
The funniest part was when I stayed behind to talk to Dr. Lee, and the last thing she said before I left was, "Next time, I'M bringing the exams."
