The dreaded phone call
Today was D-Day. The day that you would receive a scary phone call if you had not passed your final exams. The day that everybody had been dreading since we finished our exams last Friday. On a day such as this, my cunning strategy is to sleep in for as long as possible so that if I suddenly woke up at 3pm, and nothing had happened, all would be well - and I wouldn't have gotten stressed out at all.
But today I only slept in until 11am.
At 11.50am, the downstairs phone rang. I ran to pick it up, but I didn't get there in time and it diverted to the answering machine. The voice was scary. I said my name, and asked him to call him back. You can imagine my immediate thought: I HAVE FAILED MY EXAM.
FUCK!
Frantically, I attempted to call him back numerous times. In those ten minutes, visions of cancelling my holiday flashed through my head. I would have to re-sit the exam. I would not be able to be sworn as a doctor with the rest of my friends tomorrow at the ceremony. I would be pitied by everyone and be totally embarrassed for my family. It was the end of the world.
Finally I managed to get through.
"So sorry, there was a mistake. You're fine. You passed. Sorry to cause you any consternation."
Jeez! You think they could have been a bit more organised! They're messing with people's lives here!
On the flip side though, I'm a doctor. Congratulate me!
