Remember they always tell you to have enough rest before you go for an exam or you might end up brain dead or collapse on the way? No worries none of that happened to yours truly. But because I'm awesome like that, something else even more INCREDULOUS happened.
Would you believe if I told you I sat for the WRONG exam?
Dear sir,
I just returned from the INSTXXXX/ECONXXXX exam at Webster building only to realise that I have sat for the WRONG paper.
I answered the questions for ECONXXXX instead of INSTXXXX and I'm enrolled in INSTXXXX and not ECONXXXX. However I've always been using the course code of ECONXXXX for all academic matters.
I'm not sure if the questions are different and how it would affect my grades but I hope it's not too grave or too late to make a difference.
I'm very sorry for the silly mistake and hope you will be able to advise me accordingly. My apologies for the inconvenience and many thanks in advance. Hope to hear from you soon.
With all my deepest regrets,
Christine
P.S. I REALLY don't want to sit for the supplementary paper D; but if I must please inform me ASAP.

SERIOUSLY? OH.MY.GOD! I think I just sat in front of my laptop dazed for half a minute and thanking all the lucky stars that Stef woke me up from my fitful slumber and that my stomach is still making funny noises and everything I eat taste weird. But all that aside, my Professor has NO IDEA how delirious I am now. I'm barely coherent and I need to stop grinning like a total spaz. But come on! Who sits for the wrong exam?????? I knew there was something wrong when ALL my classmates were walking into the different exam hall but in my dream-like state I walked into the one next door and even after they repeatedly asked if anyone was in the wrong class, I just sat there twiddling my thumbs and waiting for the paper to begin. Okay in my defence, I'll like to say that the courses are named the same and there were people from the same lecture group as me in the room (but apparently they were enrolled in economics and not international studies) so yeah... D;
Yes. Laugh. Go ahead. I NEVER thought this day would come but yes Christine is an idiot. I'm brilliant like this. My goodness. Thank God. I'm blessed. Really. Very blessed. I don't know what the heck I would have done if they told me it's different and that I failed on the account that I didn't go for the right exam. But now I'm relieved beyond belief & thanking God repeatedly. Lord, thanks doesn't seem enough.
On a side positive note, I got back my Popular Culture paper and I passed both. One with a high pass and the other Distinction though the percentages should have been swapped so I get a higher average grade but at this rate, I'm just hopelessly thankful for every pass I get ;D
