So it's finals time at my college, and I only have one this Friday and one next Thursday (my other classes had finals before the end of instruction). I figure this week's final is no big deal, so I decided to take it easy, watch a couple movies, play some video games, listen to music. As I get into bed I glance at my calendar (which reads December 14th since it's past midnight) and think to myself, "Hey, isn't the final on the 13th?"
Cue cold sweat.
Sure enough, I check, and the final really is on the 13th. Thursday the 13th. I briefly entertain thoughts about emailing my professor with some story (debilitating illness, some kind of emergency), but decided to own up to my idiocy and tell him what actually happened. I've sent the email, but the chances of getting a make-up final slot are slim to none, I'd wager.
I suppose it's not THAT big a deal - my GPA is high enough that an F wouldn't hit it too badly, and if I take a class over the summer my credit requirement is fine. I'm just irked that this wouldn't be any concern if I'd just bothered to double-check the date before I decided to chill out.
