I had been taking several classes in what resembled a high school. One class was a math class and one was a science class. It was the last week of school and we were supposed to have exams next week. I hadn't prepared for the exams for either class.

I talked with Anderson, who was also taking the same classes, and it was beginning to become clear to me how the science and math fit together. But I was completely unprepared for the exams. It even seemed that I might have failed in these classes in the previous grading period. Now I might even end up failing for the entire year.
