The+Test

“Rrrrriiiiinnnnnggggg!” What’s that noise? I thought. Then I then I realized what that was. I shot out of bed and gazed at my alarm clock, 12:30 am! I was late so I ran downstairs put a bagel in the toaster and got my pants shirt socks tie ect. The reason I was wearing a tie was because I had a big examination to get into the only school that I wanted to go to, Harvard. Yah all my friends thought I wouldn’t pass but I’m going to show them wrong. “Pop” That was my bagel so I grabbed it and ate it as fast as I could; as I was eating I pictured myself as a T Rex chowing down on an unsuspected plant eater just a little less vicious than that. I then glanced at my clock again 12:30 that was when my taxi driver is supposed to pick me up at. I zipped out of the house and ran to the end of the street where my taxi was but instead of being patient and waiting for me the driver puts the peddle to the metal and turns the corner. I don’t know why he did it may be it was because my jacket was only half way on or because I had only one shoe on and the other in my hand, or it might have even because my tie was flying out of my pocket. Well I guess we’ll never know but the one thing I did know was that I was late. The next thing I know is that I’m sprinting up Blake Avenue going to Harvard across town with only 10 minutes to get there. But amazingly I got there in time not realizing my own speed. Before I went in I put my jacket, tie, and shoe on and strolled through the door with confidence. Then when I found out that only 15 of the 100 people taking this were going to pass I have to admit that shot my confidence straight down. When I took the examination it was unlike any other test I’ve ever took, it hard and half of the questions were related to the stuff that I WOULD be studying if I passed. After a few hours of anxious nail biting then the tests were given back. Now for the moment of truth I covered the pass or fail note at the top, then I finally uncovered it to a “PASS! CONGRATS!” After that I screamed and so did the other people who passed, but then I uncovered the whole note which said “CONGRATS! Be here tomorrow for the final test! Good luck!” So I guess it’s going to be the same thing same time tomorrow I just hope it’s the last.
