College exams are supposed to be take in college not middle school. Why? I’m not even that smart I have a C in algebra and I’m very dumb. I have no idea how they chose me. The teachers are not smart. Sorry teachers

Yeah, that's what didn't quite fit in with me either. Why would they make middle school kids take college exams?
These tests are to see if the students can take higher classes in high school. For instance, let’s say I wasvery smart and I didn’t have a ‘C’ in Algebra then they would have me take a next grade test to see if I can go to a higher advanced class In high school.
Yeah. So by the time your in middle school the smart group of people take college exams.
Ugh. Why. Well, I’m going to fail. I know it.
I don't really agree with that system, but wish you good luck!

It’s just normal for us. And thanks I think I’ll do great.

The education system here is pretty screwed up, too, so I can relate.
Delayed Exam
Yesterday morning, I was at the gate, leaving to catch the bus when my mum came back. Her sister had come as well, so they got off quickly, spoke to me, and then let me go off. At least I got to see my aunt :)
Now that exam was a disaster. A major disaster that nobody would want to relive.
We were outside brushing up last minute concepts when some teacher came and began to yell at us to get it. So we got in, took our tabs, and sat down. However, when we tried to log in, our numbers weren't listed. The exam was to start in 10 minutes, and the Psychology section shows that only one student is attending the exam - and that student is actually a senior. There was supposed to be 64.
Ummmm..... What the fuck?!
We began to look around at each other because the students in other majors were listed and could write. The exam began, but none of us could start because we don't have the damn question paper. C started complaining saying, "Hey! Don't do this to us! Everything we studied is evaporating!" The invigilators started urging us to calm down and assured that they will sort it out. One of them even suggested breaking the tab if we're that angry.
The girl sitting in front of me is a bit..... Well, age talks to exactly four people in class, and somehow I'm one of them. She has a really heavy accent, so I barely understand what she says. Although she is rather studious. This girl always comes a bit late to every class and exam. I don't know why she does it, but she always comes one minute late. So she came in late again without a clue about what happened, took a tab, and began to do the retina scan, which can be done only after selecting our numbers from the list - but our numbers aren't there. She must have clicked a number from a different major. When she got an error, she tried again, and that's when I tapped her shoulder and told her to give up because we're apparently not writing the exam.
So we kept chatting - more of "What the fuck?! What's happening? We need extra time!" Except some people, including me, need to leave fast because if not, the buses will leave, and we live too far to take a longer route. The invigilator even called one girl's dad so that he could come pick her up later.
After fifteen minutes, we still didn't have the question paper. We were staring at everyone with nothing to do when suddenly, a girl in the row beside me, fainted. She just fell on the floor, and all of us freaked. They immediately got her water and glucose, and boy, the uni sure pays good attention to students' well-being. They repeatedly asked if she can continue and whether she was absolutely sure. She eventually ended up writing anyway.
And we still didn't have the question paper. We got it 45 minutes late when the staff came and exchanged our tabs for ones that had the paper uploaded. Although the time didn't really change. Someone from the exam department came over and informed us that they'd give us 40 minutes grace time, and we'd be allowed to leave even if we finished early.
But then, for some of us, it took forever for the paper to load. One guy in front of the girl I spoke about earlier and I kept looking at each other because the paper refused to load for us. The invigilator really couldn't stop laughing at how screwed it was. Eventually it loaded for him, so he turned back and assured me that it would load for me as well. My friend from the back even began to read out the questions for me. Yep, in an exam hall where talking isn't allowed, all of this happened.
Five minutes later, it loaded, and uh....... What the fuck was with the question paper?!?! It was too hard. Difficulty level: PhD level. Not only was the exam delayed for nearly an hour, but we were also provided with a terrible paper that me very little sense. I still wrote some crap, though.
After the other majors left the hall and we were the only ones enjoying our grace time, the invigilator stepped out for a few minutes, and people started asking for answers. One guy legit said to the whole class, "Hey! Tell me some answer!" It was so funny!
Since I finished after the buses had already left, I called my mum and asked where she was. She had gone to drop her sister at her daughter's place, and was coming back. I was about to tell her that I'm taking a cab when I saw that the buses were still standing there - 20 minutes after they should have left. I ran and Mum's like, "Why are you panting?" And I said, "I'm running." Mum asked, "Why are you calling when you're running?" I was blabbering shit and I sounded very similar to Lady Macbeth in her infamous sleepwalking scene - there was no logical connection between what I was saying.
They made the buses wait only for my major to finish.
I initially didn't even have a seat, but one guy stood up and squeezed in somewhere else after telling me to take his. The guy actually was my batchmate in school for 13 years, and even though I doubt he recognizes me, he was still so helpful.
Since the buses left late, I reached really late as well. When I got off and was walking back home, a car stopped in front of me, and I heard, "Little One!" It was my dad. So I got in the car and didn't have to walk the rest of the way :D
But the exam was baaaaad, though. P texted later asking how it went, and I said I fucked up. She then called me saying that she fucked up too, and went on to explain the blunders she made. Basically, a lot of us are screwed.....

My major exams are over, and my aunt stayed over.
My earphones have betrayed me again, and this is so frustrating :/
That’s why I went to Black Friday shops to find great deals.
And why am I always up at this hour?
Well, at least I have a reason today. It's a friend's birthday.
My earphones are so out of condition that I can only hear the hidden vocals of the songs I'm listening to xD
I'm going to enroll in driving lessons today :)
My learner's test is more than two weeks away :/
That sounds fun. You can do it and earn your driving license.
Not amazing. I want it right now :/
Well, try and be patient about it.
Patience isn't going to work here. I need to start early so that I can end practice by the time my next semester begins.
I'm so dead. My teacher is scaring the shit out of us, and I'm so dead.
Calm down boi, no wonder no one wants to talk to you.
Oooooooohhhh thanks for that!
What is with people being insensitive idiots?

Headphones, headphones, headphones....
P has finally been relieved of her duties as a class rep, and boy, is she happy! She legit sent me voice messages excited to take advantage of this new freedom, and I can hear it in her voice that she's happy.

Why kill yourself before results? What’s the Point in that?

Firstly, I'd like to be dead. Secondly, before results means I don't need to see my poor performance results.
