Surprised? I am.

So we had our final exam for MATH 249 today, and it actually went off without a hitch.

Like…no problems whatsoever.

Which is absolutely SHOCKING, because everything I have TOUCHED this semester has gone wrong in every way possible. I don’t know what’s going on, but this semester was an absolute smorgasbord of “here are all the ways you can screw up one of the easiest semesters you’ve ever had.”

Which is why I was SO NERVOUS about this final exam. Maybe I screwed up the number of exams to be printed. Maybe I screwed up the printing itself and a page or two would be missing. Maybe I screwed up writing one of the questions and the correct answer wasn’t printed. Maybe I didn’t give the printer place the correct instructions and the exams wouldn’t be at the gyms ready for us. Maybe I told the students the wrong day, time, or location for the exam. Maybe I put content on the exam that we didn’t cover during the semester. Maybe I forgot to upload the exam for the SAS students. Maybe I wrote the exam so that no one could finish it within two hours. Maybe I forgot to tell the TAs to show up and I’d be alone invigilating 1,200+ students.

The list goes on.

I was ready to throw up this morning because I was so nervous about this exam, dude.

So it’s a relief that it all went well, because I am so sick of screwing everything up all the time.

UGH.
