Stupidity, Thy Name is Katie

So, today is off to a great start! Haha, not really.

Since classes ended on Monday, I have been studying with the mindset that my Principles of Marketing and Principles of Finance exams were today. Can you see the problem yet...I thought it was confirmed, but in actuality was really only a mindset with only 50% basis in fact. Are you seeing the problem yet?

So this morning, I walk into what I think is my Principles of Marketing exam. I realize that I don't know anybody, but since it's a big class and attendance isn't so great, I'm not too worried. Then, I notice that nobody around me has a calculator on their desk. Since 30% of the test is math-based, this is worrisome. Then, a professor I don't recognize walks in. Not good. Finally, I call a friend from my Marketing class and she says the dreaded words..."I thought Marketing was Tuesday."

Dun, dun, dun...

So I quickly leave the classroom. The only other exam it could possibly be is Managerial Accounting. This is not good. I haven't even begun to study for that exam since I was so sure it was Tuesday. I walk in...yep, I'm in the right place now. I see my teacher and very politely explain the situation to him. He know's I'm a Senior in Accounting, come to class, and am usually not such a huge idiot. Very graciously, he offers to let me take my exam on Monday so I have time to prepare. I practically run out of the classroom, sit down, call my Mom, and nearly have a panic attack after the fact. Then I go home to write all this down!

I don't have any other exams scheduled for Monday, so I guess this works out well in the end because I was mentally prepared for two exams back to back today. And since I've already studied for Marketing, I won't have to do much to re-prepare for it on Tuesday.

I'm so thankful that I made a point to regularly attend this class and answer my teacher's questions when nobody else would. It was quite a pain sometimes being the only person who ever talked, but my teacher knowing me really paid off this time! Whew...

So, my real, verified, set in stone schedule for the rest of finals week is:

Thursday (as in this afternoon): Principles of Finance--12 PM
Friday: Individual Income Tax--8AM
Monday: Principles of Managerial Accounting--8AM
Tuesday: Audit and Assurance Services--8AM
Principles of Marketing-12PM
