So here I was prepared and ready to give my Test 3 for Calculus 2 class.
It was about homogeneous and non homogeneous second order differential equation, series, sequence and some logistic equations.
I was in my class waiting for my professor to give out the test question papers. She gives it out as soon as the clock ticks 9:10.
I reviewed the paper in short and everything looked fine.
I was done with first 4 problems in 30 minutes. The next three didn't look bad and I was quiet positive to complete them in remaining 20 minutes.
A strange thing than happens. Suddenly the guy who sits next to me spills his Coke glass all over the table. Everything gets wet. My answer book was partially wet and my pants were wet.
It was at this time I lost my concentration as my GREY cells were diverted to my wet pants.
I was not able to solve two problems of the remaining three problems. I don't blame anyone for this as nobody can control what is going to happen next.
One thing to learn from this incident is - "No matter how prepared you are, you cannot stop disturbance in disguise."
don't worry bro...there is always a next time!!!
