So I stayed up late (till like 5:00) cramming for my mechanics of solids test today. The test was at 8:00... and I woke up at 8:40! The first thought that went through my mind was omfg!!! WhyyYyYYYyyy!?!?! Then I sat in bed for like 30 seconds panicking, thinking about which illness to fake (or induce), or if I could break one of my fingers to go to the nurse or something. Then I was like, whatever, I'll just go there and beg the professor for mercy! So I ran to class and got there with like 10 minutes left, and the professor was just like, "Ok, see what you can do in 10 minutes." So I was scrawling down numbers & equations as fast as I could. Then the professor walks up to me and says I can stay after, and I was just like, "thank you! Thank you sooooo much!" I ended up finishing in like 25 minutes cuz I'd done the first part of it in such a hurry. But yea, I was just so thankful that he gave me extra time. So yea, let it be known that Dr. Ravi-Chandar is the greatest, most benevolent professor ever! That deserves like an award or something.

*I wrote him a thank you e-mail afterwards. Anyways, yea, the moral of the story? Set TWO alarm clocks on test days.
