- You get three hours of sleep because you’re imagining the different things that could happen to your computer, pencils, desk, and person.
- You take your computer in to the tech office the Friday before the test and they’re closed, but you bang on the door with such pleading, painful cries that they open up and help you.
- Inside, you meet a fellow sufferer who just stares at you with a blank look and says, “My computer will be fixed, my computer will be fixed.”

- You run into a friend at school who asks how you are feeling about a certain portion of the test. When you say, “Okay,” they reply, “Oh, good. I’m glad to know you’re not confident about that. It makes me feel better about myself.” How’s that for brotherly love?
