Math Test

It’s kind of cold in here. I want to put my jacket back on, but if I’m too warm, I’ll fall asleep. Then I’ll run out of time. Then I’ll have to find a time to finish the test. When do I have time to do that? Not today. Wednesday? I’d have to double-check my calendar. Wow, I sound like a business professional or something. That’s concerning. It’s kind of crazy how fast we’ve all matured. Like, we’re in eighth grade and then we blink, and we are graduating next year. I’m graduating next year. Oh god. Don’t think about that; you’re making life more difficult for yourself.

Okay, shut up! You’re getting distracted and you haven’t even written your name yet, stupid.

Ew. I don’t really like the look of that. My handwriting is so bad. I’ll use the eraser on the pencil. I need to replace it, its literally a stub. Wait, this is 0.7 lead. Oh no, I bought a bunch of 0.5 lead last week. Why didn’t I check that before? Unless I checked the pencils at home. Are they a different size? I also need more pens if I do a Staples run. Maybe blue and red? Nah, red pen is scary. Blue and black, I guess. What was I doing? Oh, yeah.

Stupid eraser crumbs. They’re just so annoying. It’s 2022, why don’t we have crumb-less erasers?

What’s the date again? Wow, I can’t believe its technically fall in a few days. I love fall, it’s honestly the best season. I mean, is it even a contest? I guess summer because there’s no school. But its just so hot. Winter is pretty, but no one around here knows how to drive in the snow. Spring is just months of rain, and then random hail. And flowers don’t really come out until early summer. April showers bring May flowers. Whoever came up with that didn’t live here. April showers bring May showers bring June showers bring July boiling hot weather.

Oh no, its been like ten minutes already.

First problem.

Oh, this isn’t too bad.

Wait, is the test easy? Or is it just this one question?

Am I being overconfident?

How can I be overconfident when I know I don’t know this stuff?

Wait.

Today’s the nineteenth, not the twentieth. Oh my god, I wrote the wrong year. How much sleep did I get last night?

What time is it?

OH MY GOD.

ITS BEEN HALF AN HOUR.
