On Wednesday I had my first test, a test in Psych 101. My psych professor is great and very straightforward, and the material was very manageable. To worry about the test would have been silly. And that’s what I told myself in the beginning. But as the test came closer, I became more and more nervous. Did I study experimental psych well enough? Am I going to remember every name? etc. I tried to stop thinking about the material and just relax as I arrived at the room of the test. But, noticing my pencil did not say #2 on it, I began to worry (again). Is this a #2 Pencil? Can I write with this on the test? What kind of pencil doesn’t say #2 on it?! The professor was already giving out the tests, so I had to act fast. I borrowed a pencil from the boy behind me, and I noticed that the test was coming at me. As my neighbor passed me a test and one of the infamous scantron “bubble sheets,” I took a deep breath. I looked at the test paper and smiled. Easy. I flipped through and scanned every page with my eyes, and a wave of relief hit me. The only hard part of this test would be making sure I fill in those stupid bubbles right. And I sure hope I did. It wouldn’t be worth screwing up the answer sheet on a test this simple.

Grades were just posted online, and it looks like I filled in my answer sheet just fine. I did very well. Can’t wait for next time. Just kidding… sort of.
