TEST (a story)

So, funny story. (That's pretty much what I'll be doing on this blog: telling funny stories.)

I was making beans last night because they take like three hours to cook and I was going to be up all night studying for a test I had this morning. Well, I stayed up all night the last night too because I had a test yesterday that I'd been desperately studying for.

So I was super tired, and I was trying and failing to study.

My friends all asked if I wanted to go to midnight pizza but I was GOOD and I stayed to study some more, but I was SO TIRED and I just couldn't make it anymore.

My roommate made rice pudding for everyone so I enjoyed that and got a little bit more done, but it was a lost cause. There was no way I was going to be able to stay up all night.

So I decided that I would study better if I took a nap.

I went to bed around 1:30 and I set the alarm on my watch for 4:30.

I couldn't use my actual alarm clock because its all the way across the room and very loud and I didn't want to wake anyone up

and my phone is dead because it just is.

So I woke up at 3:30 in a panic thinking I had overslept and missed the test.

I was still so tired though, that I went back to sleep rather than going to go study.

My watch didn't wake me up at 4:30 and I woke up again at 6:45.

I was panicked. I only had two and a half hours to study for my test and I was still super tired and life just kind of sucked.

But I studied my hardest and at 9:28 I grabbed my backpack and rushed out the door to class. I get there and take a seat in the middle so no one has to disturb me when they're leaving because I always take ALL the time possible.

AND

There was no test.

The test is on Monday.

I have a whole weekend to study.

YES

YES

YES

YEs

Iamsotired

*sneeze*

but YES!

So I was actually on time to Geology for once, was very awake and alert through the whole lecture (due to my panic induced blood sugar/ adrenaline levels) and after I got to ask the teacher about the essay questions that I had been studying madly before class.

I got to pretend that I was one of those good students who look over the essay questions as soon as they're posted and who agonize over every detail and ask the teacher about every piece.

When you go to a professor like that, they can't help but love you. My professor answered all of my questions, and I feel like I will be quite prepared by Monday.

Bring on the Test.

When I went back to my apartment though, I realized that in my mad dash out, I had forgotten my key.

Darn.

....

*knocking*

Is anyone home??

...

*frenzied knocking*

HELLO

...

..

*ghetto knocking*

(Where you turn around and pound the door with your foot.)

...

........

please?

nothing.

..

*sniff, sniff sniff*

wait a second.

What is that smell?

OH

Gosh

.....................

THE BEANS.

I left them simmering ALL NIGHT LONG.

*dash to the kitchen*

Yep.

There they are.

The element is still on too.

I could have burned the building down.

Lucky it was on the lowest setting.

I wonder if the beans are still edible.

I checked the pot, which miraculously I had filled with enough water and put the lid all the way on so it hadn't boiled dry, and the beans were quite brown colored.

I thought lima beans were supposed to be green?

I guess that's only when they're fresh or frozen or something.

*hesitantly tastes one*

Hey, it's not bad.

They're super soft.

*smacks forehead* Well, what else would they be after simmering for thirteen hours??

But, I was locked out. With nothing better to do, I drained the beans, washed the lid, and wondered what I would do until one of my roommates came home.

Also, they were so soft that it was difficult to eat them with my fingers.

So..

Beans?

Luckily, I am a prepared one!!

I didn't have my book or my computer, or anything but my notes and backpack really. I had been in too much of a hurry as I dashed out for the test that wasn't.

but,

in my backpack,

YES

I have salt!

and PEPPER!

and a fork!

I love it when a plan comes together.

And so I sat there, triumph on my face, eating my beans like I had conquered the world.
