Is This A Class On Existentialism?
Our class is supposed to take a midterm exam on a Thursday. However, in order to get disability accommodations, I have to take it the day before so I have already finished it by the time Thursday rolls around. That weekend, both of our basketball teams are playing in the Final Four. There is a bomb threat on Thursday and the entire campus is on lockdown, so the exam is postponed until Tuesday.
On Monday night, the men’s basketball team wins the national championship and naturally, I am up late in jubilation, but I still show up for class the next morning since I forget the class is taking the exam I already took.
Me: “Are we going to go over the exam today?”
Professor: “No, you are going to take the exam today.”
Me: “But I already took it.”
Professor: “But nobody else has, so they need to take it before we can go over it.”
Me: “So why am I here?”
Professor: “I don’t know; I was wondering the same thing.”
