This last Friday I had a student's worst nightmare come true for me. Well, at least it was definitely one of my worst nightmares!
I woke up late on Friday morning, but I figured it wouldn't matter even if I did get to class a bit later than usual because it's a Friday and the professor usually doesn't get too mad. Somehow I made it there 2 minutes before class started. The first thing I notice is that the room is full. On Friday's normally only half of the class even shows up, but for some reason, everyone is there. Then I see that everyone has a scantron out. I ask the girl sitting next to me why everyone has a scantron out, if it is that quiz the professor kept talking about before but I never heard an exact date on. She looks at me in total shock and tells me that no, this is not a quiz, this is the midterm. I tell her to please not joke with me like that, it isn't funny. She practically shouts at me that she swears she is not joking. I soon realize that she truly isn't joking and I am just thankful I have a scantron on me. I look down and thank my lucky stars that I am wearing clothes.
Have you ever had this happen to you? Would this be your worst nightmare, or what is your worst nightmare as a student?

That must be scary to have this happen all the time. I'm still not entirely certain how this happened to me in the first place. But I think I probably tuned out the professor's accent for awhile and gave up on listening and he slipped in the word midterm somewhere and I just didn't catch it.

A scantron I assume is a bubble sheet for answers? Or is it different? Well glad you had one on you, and so glad you got to class.

Glad you got a B, I couldn't remember what they called the bubble sheets but I thought that was what their name was. In any case, I am glad that you got a B, but hate it for you about the C.

Fortunatly I never got hit that bad but I did have one time I was truly embarrassed. I had been missing the bus a lot and my mother told me if it happened again that I would be grounded for a month.. I was 13 and was thinking "OMG NO PHONE!" so one morning only a few days after she had warned me I was running late and I see the bus coming. I grab my stuff and run out the door and catch the bus just in time. Here's the problem ... I forgot my shoes.
I ran a whole block in the snow with only my socks on with out noticing. Yeah I was in trouble when I had to call Mom at work to bring me shoes and dry socks but I wasn't grounded.
