試験に寝過ごした話

一年前試験の時期はとても難しい試験があった。試験を主催する教師はその時までにいつもかなり易しい教科を教えていて、厳しなかった。ただし、その時はすごく大きな理論の容量の教科を教えていたが、自動的な店ではないから、すべてを覚えなければならない。その状態は分かっていたので、早く覚え始めた。そんな大幅な理論と日頃教科が学生に筆記を使わせる。はっきりいくつでも複雑な方程式を一向に覚えることができないから、その決意は当たり前だ。しかし、教師が電子コーヒーを送ったが、講義を誰も書かなかったから、何でも筆記がなかった。電子コーヒーを印刷して、持ってくることを許さなかった。だから、僕が試験の二週間前に電子コーヒーで筆記を書き始めた。内容の大型によって、毎日書いても、試験の前日だけに筆記の終わった。勿論、ずっと筆記を見て写すのはいけなかったが、数分にわたって検索するのだけだ。しかし、何でも応援が有利だと思っていた。試験の前日は夜更かしをして、勉強した。漸く寝ることにしたとき、寝付くことができなかった。寝付き始めるとき、朝で急に上がって、試験に駆けつけることを想像して、すぐに寝付くことをやめた。でも終了で寝付いて、起こったとき、試験に三時で遅れた。幸いなことに、私たちの試験は日頃かなり長い。だから、大変恐ろしくても、まだ間に合っていた。尚更、大変寝過ごした癖に良い点すらをもらった。結果が良いから、その時は怖くても、今はこれを面白い冒険として覚える。

One year ago on an exam season there was a very difficult exam. The teacher who organized it previously has always taught only pretty easy subjects and wasn't strict. However, that time she taught a subject with great volume of theory and there were no automatic grades, so we had to memorize everything. Understanding those conditions, I started to memorize it early. Usually when there is such big theory teachers allow students to use their notes. Clearly one can't completely memorize great many complex formulas, so such decision is pretty obvious. However, since the teacher sent us the electronic copy of the lectures and noone wrote them down, there were no notes whatsoever. And it was not allowed to bring a printed copy of the lectures. So, when it was two weeks before the exam, I started writing notes from the electronic copy. Due to the size of the content, I finished the notes only on the day before the exam. Of course, we couldn't just look at it during all the exam and copy it, we could only look up for several minutes. Still, I though I could use any help. The day before the exam I stayed up late to study. When I finally decided to go to sleep, I wasn't able to fall asleep. As soon as I started falling asleep, I imagined how I would have to quickly get up in the morning and come running to the exam and immediately all the sleepiness was gone. Still, I fell asleep eventually and when I woke up I was three hours late to the exam. Fortunately, our exams are usually pretty long. So, though deadly scared, I managed to get there on time. Furthermore, despite terribly oversleeping I even was able to get a good grade. Since it all ended well, despite how scary it was back then, to this day I remember it as a funny adventure.
