This is chilling. It must be some sort of bad dream, and I'm just killing time till I wake up...

I took the full three hours on a math exam.

*shudders*

OK, OK, so did the rest of the class. The rules for exams at my school are as follows: You must stay for one and a half hours. The exam is designed for two hours. The time limit is three hours. When noone in the class actually finishes within two hours, it is a Bad Sign, indicating that it's more to blame on the teacher and the test than the fact that I'm a failure.

And I know, I know, it's normal, calm down you silly girl, but I'm a math person! I cut my teeth on trig! All right, now I'm exaggerating. Blame it on this Issue I have where my identity is entirely tied up in my schoolwork, and when that starts going everything splats. Note to self: Get life.
