An Evening Class

            I think it is a challenge for me to take evening classes because I feel horrible after I get out of class every time. I had an evening class yesterday from 5pm to 7:20pm, and it was a calculus lecture. At the beginning of the class, we took a quiz that took me 30 minutes to finish. Actually, I had prepared for the quiz doing some similar examples before the class. However, the questions on the quiz were much more difficult than the examples.

I began to solve the questions. After few minutes, I was interrupted by my professor, “Teng, do not write it down on the quiz paper, please use your own pieces of papers,” he looked at me in a very serious tone.

“I am sorry, I didn’t notice that,” I said to him. Then, I copied my work to another piece of paper. Nevertheless, my brain was not working because of this incident. “What shall I do next?” I asked myself. Usually, it was my dinnertime, and now I just wanted to eat the food. The more I thought about eating, the hungrier I felt. With the starvation in my stomach, I could not concentrate to solve the problem. I felt the questions were getting harder and harder, finally, I gave them up.

            I would not have abandoned the quiz hadn’t I taken the evening class. I think evening classes do not fit me, and I will not take them anymore.
