I had a midterm this morning at 8:00 AM.
I tried to do everything I could to succeed. I studied hard this past weekend. I had a bunch of well-written notes to use. I went to bed at a reasonable hour last night. I set my alarm for early and even double-checked the volume before I went to sleep.
But apparently after I checked the volume I turned the alarm off, not on.
I was 30 minutes late for my midterm this morning. Fortunately it was being proctored so I didn’t have to walk in and see the professor and they let me take the exam in 40 minutes (versus the full hour and 20 or not at all). Also, fortunately, I knew enough to write what I needed to write in the time allotted… and more time wouldn’t have actually helped that much. Nonetheless, I’m extremely unhappy with myself about this.
I have another midterm Wednesday. I’m going to study just as hard but fortunately this one’s a little later in the day so I’ll definitely be there on time.
