worst morning ever.

8:25 am: I roll over, look at my clock, and have a heart attack. My Spanish exam is at 8:30.

8:43 am: I have mysteriously forgotten every verb conjugation I have ever learned. I contemplate writing my entire essay in "literary present tense" -- because if it's an essay, then it's literary. Right?

9:05 am: Since I'm allowed to use a dictionary, a sheet of notes, and a bibliography, this may be the easiest exam ever administered. I pull myself together and stop being a total gringa.

9:27 am: My sinuses threaten mutiny. I can't breathe out of my nose. I have become that obnoxious girl who sniffles throughout the entire test, interrupting everyone else's silent stress. I try to ignore the death glares.

9:50 am: It's raining. I pine for my umbrella and my boots, which are both at the bottom of the closet that I didn't have time to open this morning. 

10:19 am: I have less than 3 hours until my Psychology exam, and I couldn't tell you the parts of the brain that affect short-term memory if my life depended on it. I choose to blog instead of review.
