Crazy Saturday Morning

2/19/11
One Saturday morning, my friend and I had to go take a test in order to apply for the nursing program at our school.  About a week before the test, we received an email telling us specifically telling us what we needed to bring.  One of the things that we needed to bring was an ID that they gave to us when we registered online.

So the day of the test comes along and my friend and I carpool together to school to take our test at 9:00am.  We were doing well.  In fact, we arrived at school about half an hour early.  We were sitting in the car when my friend was reading the email that we received that she printed out.  Guess what?  She forgot to print the second page out.  PANIC.  Without the second page, you couldn't take the test.  So we're rushing and we don't know what to do because the computer labs at school were still closed and the library was still closed.

It's about 8:45am.  My friend remembered that she has a cousin living not to far from our school, so we go there.  I let her drive my car, by the way.  So there we were, 15 minutes until the time that we needed to be in school, but we were on the freeway speeding to get to her cousin's house.  The worst part is, we got lost.  lol.  With all the construction going on the freeway and certain parts of the city, we got lost.  Her cousins couldn't even tell us how to get to the their house.  Luckily, eventually my friend started to recognize the area and we found the house.

It's 9:00am.  We're supposed to be at school by now, placed in our assigned classroom, and sitting at our desk ready to take the test.  9:05am, she got the page she needed printed out and we zoomed back our way to school.  When we got school, she dropped me off at the front of the school while she went to go park the car, so that I could get in line and sign myself in, IF they were still letting people take the test.

Here's the best part.  When I walked into the building, there were still people in line waiting to sign in.  I had a huge sigh of relief and at the same time, anxiously waiting to see my friend's reaction when she comes into the building when she sees that we made it despite of our crazy adventure.  She walks in through the doors and she spreads her arms out with a huge sigh of relief and we start laughing.  She walks over to me laughing and out of breath; it was great.  lol!

We were lucky to be able to have taken our test, I guess you could say.  If we didn't, then that would have been a waste of time and money.

Anyway, few days later, she felt so bad for putting me in that situation that she bought me breakfast one day.  Hehe, that was nice.  :)

Have you ever been put into a crazy situation like that?
