Had a bad day in the marketing class today. Our professor keeps a surprise quiz when the number of absentess crosses a certain threshold - but the quiz is supposed to be very simple so that all those who are present are rewarded for showing themselves up.
Now then - it was one of those days. The quiz was on a case which we were supposed to do for the class today. The questions were (as I later found out) straightforward.Moreover, it was an open-case quiz, meaning you could make full use of the resources. But then if something can go wrong, then it surely will, and Mr. Murphy ensured all the three doors of escape for me were closed.
1. I had not read the case, had no clue about it.
2. In a hurry for the morning class, I took the wrong Marketing book with me. I spent the first 3 minutes of the 7 minute test trying to figure out where the case was - only to realise I wouldn't find it in that book even if I spent my entire lifetime searching there.
3. For once (probably because of the large number of absentees) there was noone sitting next to me
I might as well have slept off in my room!;)
