Maddie had a math quiz today.

Usually the results are up by now and they are not.

She studied all weekend and there was no flat ironing last night.

I'm sure that you'll report later that she aced it.

I don't know.

Her teacher is going through something right now that involves some sort of court case. (Maddie listened to a phone conversation and said something about some sort of court documents that she recognized.) If he is in a bad mood, the test might be ultra difficult.

Finals are next week and Maddie has to show up at 6:00 a.m. for her final. She and her friend Blair have already decided to go in their pajamas.

Yikes, 6 a.m. for a test?????

I am surprised that everything doesn't have to be contained within the normal day.

[It does remind me of an income tax class that I took in college. There was no "finals are 3 hours long" rule. The final ran all-day. The professor ordered in food (mainly pizza and sandwiches) during the test.]

Most zero period classes at Maddie's high school are electives like Journalism or Band, which do not have finals. Because of this quirk, time is not built in to the schedule for zero period finals and it's up to the teacher to decide what to do. The teacher doesn't want to stay late, so the kids have to come in early. The test will be after the three day weekend, so hopefully she will be well-rested enough to wake up and get ready.

Hopefully, I can wake up as well. I generally get up at 6:00 to drive her to school at 6:40.

Her math class is a zero-period class? Making a teenager do calculations before the sun is up seems like cruel-and-unusual punishment.

I think doing math at any hour of the day is a cruel and unusual punishment, frankly.

Just do the Newtonian solution: if you don't like the existing math, make up your own!

We could have goth math.

Although that jutht thounds like I have a lithp.

I suppose it's more accurate to say math doesn't like me very much.

Cute lithp.

I wouldn't even want to figure out what goth math would be like, I'm sure it would be something like "If Lucretia has only one clove cigarette left and Nyte has had four vodka tonics at $7 each, how long will it take before she's cranky and they're both completely out of money?"

That one's easy.

Answer: A crew cut with a warrior tail.

Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers!

It's the only way that she could take enough classes so that we could make it to HB three days a week for 2:45 Quiz Bowl practice.

Maddie had a sub today, which is why there was no quiz grade.
