<p>My last semester in college, I had one econ final left for my major. It was a 9:30 exam. I come strolling in the class maybe 5 minutes late and there are only about 10 people sitting there with their tests. I walk up to the prof to ask for my test and he says with a serious expression, "You have missed the exam, it started at 8:00." I look around at the people at their desks and they are all kind of smirking. I guess the look on my face (and the fact that I felt like bursting into tears) caused them to break up. Everybody is laughing and I am feeling AWFUL. My worst nightmare come to pass. The prof then says, "Just kidding, I decided to make the test optional. If you are happy with your grade now, don't take the exam." I can still remember my jubilation! I walked out of that class knowing that college was DONE for me! </p>
<p>In hindsight, it was really pretty cruel of the prof to pull that, and I had spent the whole night studying for the stupid test!</p>
