I crash at midnight knowing my first final is in less then 10 hours, whatever, big deal.
as my head hits the pillow and i slide into REM sleep a test stirs me from my bearish slumber, its Johnny, asking what time the final is.
930
yes I'm sure
and i realize its 6 30 in the fucking morning, what the hell. why is he up even. uggg
so i flip and bury my face into my pillow and drown everything things out and i go on to have some dream about peppermint ice cream, so weird considering My favorite kind is cotton candy.
so 730 rolls around, i get up, and put Rocky, my puggie, in my bed for his morning bath and jump in the shower. when I'm done i make breakfast which usually is a sign the world is ending because i don't eat much less make food in the morning hrs. but the egg and juice was good none the less.
i check the time, 815, so I have a good 30 mins to study and leave.
i collapse into my brown chair, the same one that i am typing this from
random
and go over the principals of group communication, all 50 terms and theories, I go line by line to reading the page over adn over again. I look at the time and
holy tomatoes batman, its 858 and i need to brush my teeth and drive there, so i do all that and veer out the door, run to my car and as i drive to school, behind the slow car and hitting every light i ponder this,
would he believe me if i told him the reason i was late was because i was studying??
all my senses tell me, hell no, but if all else fails.
i pull into school and realize the parking lot is drastically reduced and almost scary but i am still in time so i take a breath, exhale and repeat for the rest of my life.
915, i walk to class and talk amongst my group about our presentation and how unfair it was, the teacher is just casually sitting up front, hes a awesome guy,
930 boom da boom its time
but not just yet, he wants us to go over the semester and help him become a better teach, so as we talk for 30 mins the test answers r slowly sliding out of my brain and waltzing out the door, yes these answers can dance and also tango for a set price.
but we finally get to it he give his warning
if i see/hear your phone it will be gone. if its a beep, or vibrate you will get a 0.
if you want to avoid that, just bring it up here and its a safe zone, it can do whatever and you will be fine.
So me being smart and not wanting to fail a 200 point test, turn my phone off and take the battery out. ha ha beat that bitches.
almost the entire class empties their pockets of their tru loves, and they all hit that table with a dull thud, weighing in on all our lives.
test commences and we are all bust concentrating than it comes on, this song
and my response is hell no, i don't want you, Mrs. Test. I want a legal divorce and i want the kids and you can have the pain. but tit just blares out and its a very legit awkward silence as we consider the song. and then it comes, from the grave
my phone starts ringing, extremely loud, oh no.
The teacher comes and takes my test and wont believe me when i show him my phone and battery, in separate hands. I'm falling down and i cant get up.
I wake up, i am on my floor with a blanket around me, and my dog looking down at me like WTF, and it hits me, I had a fucking nightmare about a test.
My 730 alarm clock goes off, my dog barks and I silence the beeping.
Goddamn, NS, you got me. I always fall for it.
