missing the Master's comprehensive exam

I'm in my room studying with my friend, Brandon.

We got new desks just so we can be ready and study for the comprehensive exam. Brandon leaves the room to do something and a friend from my undergraduate comes in. I haven't seen him in so long and we're catching up. He's married and happy! I'm so happy for him.

Then I look at the time on my computer. The exam is supposed to be at 9. That can't be right. The clock says 8:59. I put my face closer to the computer screen and the numbers are blurry. I can't see what the time is. I'm in shock. Brandon comes back in the room and I tell him we're missing the comp.!! I don't even feel prepared, I haven't studied anything! I'm going in to the exam blindly!

I panic but get out of my PJ's and get dressed really quickly. Brandon's scrambling to get his bag pack and jacket.

And then... I wake up.
