Oooooo Crap

So this morning I woke up at 9:00 giving myself sufficient preparation time for my 12:15 chem final. I fed my fish (He's been working quite a bit on his bubble nest)...



... watered the tree...



... and did a couple of the practice exams available on my professors web page. I left a little early so that I would have time to get situated and arrived at about 11:05. I was moderately surprised to discover that the exam didn't actually start at 11:15, but rather at 10:15. When I asked one of the TAs for a test he gave me a very surprised look and said "You haven't started yet!?!?!?" I wasn't at all panicked as you might expect. This class had been entirely a review of what I had learned in high school so quizzes and test always took less than half the time that was given and I had way more than half of the allotted 2 hours remaining.

I was directed to the professor who also seemed surprised and more than a little worried by my calmness as I requested a test. But he soon handed me a copy of the test and a scantron. About five minutes later he came up to me and said I could just write my answers in the test booklet and a TA could transfer it to a bubble sheet for me. I thanked him and continued working. About 40 min later I was finished so I got my scantron back, filled in my answers and left. I'm pretty sure the professor thinks I cheated because when I told him I was done he gave me an incredulous look and quickly flipped through the pages of my booklet, but he didn't say anything so I'm not too worried. He's posting the answers online at 3:00 so I'll know how many stupid mistakes I made due to working at the speed of light.
