6:30 AM: Okay, I’ll get up at 7.
7:00 AM: Okay, I’ll get up at– WAIT. No. I have an exam.
7:01 AM: The exam. It’s today.
7:15 AM: It’s so freaking cold. I’m just gonna have a quick shower first.
7:50 AM: Oh, no way. No way it’s almost 8. I was supposed to get up early and cram!
7:55 AM: It’s fine. I’ll start now. I will speed read. I think I’m good at that.
8:00 AM: Oh, yeah! Getting out my textbook! Putting my head in the zone!
8:05 AM: I’m hungry.
8:06 AM: But, study…
8:07 AM: But, brain food.
8:08 AM: Okay, breakfast first. Breakfast really, really quickly. Because I haven’t read that chapter yet and the exam’s at 10.
8:15 AM: WHO ATE ALL THE PEANUT BUTTER? I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL DESTROY YOU.
8:20 AM: Having bland toast does not feel like brain food. If anything, it’s making me more tired and super sad.
8:25 AM: I will have some milo!
8:27 AM: WHO DRANK ALL THE MILK????? WAS THE PEANUT BUTTER NOT ENOUGH?
8:30 AM: Hot water and milo. And empty toast. Empty like my soul and spirit.
8:45 AM: That was not a good breakfast. Focus! I must hit the books now. I must study.
9:00 AM: Okay, I think I may have drank the milk.
9:15 AM: Okay, I think the peanut butter was also me.
9:16 AM: I can’t help myself! I ate my way through all the snacks during those late night study sessions! The peanut butter was my only option. It tastes best straight from the jar. Everybody knows that.
9:18 AM: Past-Me, why did you do this to Present-Me?
9:20 AM: Hold up.
9:21 AM: HOLD UP.
9:22 AM: It’s almost 9:30?? It’ll take me ten minutes to get to my exam! I have– I have twenty minutes?
9:23 AM: Don’t panic. Do not panic. You’ve already gone through– WHAT?!
9:24 AM: I can’t believe you’ve only gone through two pages. This chapter has thirteen pages!
9:25 AM: Who decided to make it thirteen, anyway? What an unlucky number.
9:26 AM: Okay, da da-da da-da. Yes, yes, I got that. Yes, I totally remembered that.
9:30 AM: Um, make a mnemonic! Um, All Candy Apples Like Super Tree Kart Grass.
9:31 AM: All Candy Apples Like Super Tree Kart Grass. All Candy Apples Like Super Tree Kart Grass
9:40 AM: Nailed it.
9:45 AM: Five minutes! Two pages, GO GO GO.
9:50 AM: Why didn’t I pack my bag the night before?
9:55 AM: I’m gonna be late. I’m gonna be late.
10:06 AM: Goddamnit. I’m late.
10:10 AM: Yes! Favorite pen!
10:11 AM: No! Out of ink!
10:12 AM: Okay, fine. Second-favorite pen. I can’t believe you failed me, favorite-pen.
1:05 PM: “How did it go? Oh, it was fine!”
1:06 PM: It was not fine.
1:07 PM: “Yeah, I got that too! Number 4, right?”
1:08 PM: I did not get that for Number 4.
1:10 PM: I can’t believe that chapter I crammed for this morning didn’t come up.
1:11 PM: I didn’t even get to use my mnemonic.
1:15 PM: At least it’s over! Please just let me pass. Please just let me pass.
1:30 PM: I have nothing to eat in my fridge.
