OMG. This is as hilarious as it is frustrating. So I need to get it out of my chest.
So, Physics exam this morning. Written exam. Consisting of 3 problems to solve. I look at the third one, it's the one that catches my eyes immediately. I read it and go like "What the hell is this?!". 2 hours of time, so I decide not to waste any on a problem that complicated that would take quite a while to understand, so I jump right on the first two.
The first one, piece of cake. Solved in 10 minutes. The second, I read it, and a big ass smile appears on my face. Oh, it's the exact same one I did yesterday morning to practice. Can't believe the luck! So I start writing, but after a while, something doesn't convince me. Feeling like I'm doing something wrong. But no, I say to myself, it's alright, you did this just yesterday, you know how to solve it.
I finish it, and I look at it... argh, I can't get rid of the feeling I've mistaken somehow. I spend one entire hour staring at the paper trying to figure out what's wrong. Time's out, I get out of the class. First thing I do, I check my notes. And Jesus ****ing Christ.
It wasn't the one I thought it was. Similar. Veeeery similar. But not quite the one I thought. The solution I gave, completely wrong. I stare at my notes for 5 minutes, cursing the Holy Trinity in my head in both Italian and English. I think of what I wrote on the exam paper, and I go even more "Aw ****!" remembering that not only did I give the wrong solution to the problem, but also wrote WHY I chose that solution at the side, explaining every passage in detail. To make an impression, as I was SO sure, when I started writing the thing, that that was the right solution. Yeah, I know what kind of impression I'm gonna make. I think there's a possibility she'll let me pass just because I've provided her with enough material for the laugh of her life, when she'll read the mountain of bullshit I wrote.
Wha... what are the chances you get a problem so damn similar to two that you did 24 hours earlier, and you remember the wrong one? Fifty-fifty? Well, screw one of those two fifties!
