today, i had a physics mcq test at 2pm.

1330 lecture at 12 ended, walked over to the test venue.
1345 stun. completely forgot about bringing a calculator.
1347 evaluation. there were hardly any formulas, any calculations in the tutorials. but, it is still a physics paper after all, there's still likely to be some calculation questions
1349 panic.
1350 begin calling as many friends. one switched off his phone, one missed my call, two did not have, one had but was too far away from my test venue.
1352 went over to the bookshop to check out prices of calculators. heck, not worth it.
1355 somehow, spotted another friend at the entrance of the test venue. and i knew he usually brought his calculator. bingo.
1415 test started late. immediately flipped through to see if there was indeed any calculation questions. just one it turned out. and it was one that could be done by hand.
