I had a histology exam this morning at 9. Last night I studied until I was sleepy, then set my alarm for 6 so I could review slides until it was time to go. Then I experienced the following series of unfortunate events:

• This morning, my alarm didn’t go off. Luckily, I woke up at 7:30, so I wasn’t completely screwed, and I did get to go over a few slides, but I was pretty nervous about missing that last hour or so of review.
• Having squeezed in as much review as I could, I cut the time a little too close and got stuck in the 9AM medical center traffic, so I had to park at a meter right outside the building in order to make it on time (it’s partially a projected exam, and if you miss a slide, tough luck).
• The test took two and a half hours, an hour more than I’d expected and 30 minutes longer than I’d paid the meter for.
• Sure enough, I got a ticket.
• The ticket was partially snow-covered, so I didn’t see it until I turned on the windshield wipers, causing the actual ticket part to fly away.

So now I have the envelope for a ticket, and I have to call the city tomorrow to find out how much my ticket was for.

On the plus side, I’m pretty sure I did well on the test.
