BRB LOLLING FOREVER

"Welcome to the Spring 2010 entering class at Baruch College. The City University of New York and Baruch require to you demonstrate your level of proficiency in mathematics. This requires you to take a mathematics examination. ... Even if you have an exemption or have already passed a mathematics skill assessment, you must still take this examination.

"The...mathematics test covers four modules: numeric skills/pre-algebra; algebra; college algebra; and trigonometry."

This was handed to me on my way out of work this afternoon. So, wait. XD Wait. Even though I've got three calculus courses under my belt -- three! -- and I've done work harder than this at work -- Millie said, "I see some very interesting names in this pile," as she walked past my and little!Jimmy's desk with a stack of papers -- and from Millie, I still have to sit this exam. I could have aced this exam when I was sixteen, could have had a fighting chance when I was fourteen, but I still have to sit this exam. I took the practice exam on the train, and I was about 3/4 done in about ten minutes (I fell asleep* before I could finish. Stupid rocking motion.). Cue laughter-tears in three... two... one....

It's during the time when I should be at work (so is the SIMNET)! In fact, I'm supposed to be on phone center so I hope they can find a backup and not get me in trouble! :V (This is cool, because, summarily, I'm being paid to take a babyfied math test, and I don't have to answer the phones. What more could I ask for, really?) So I've decided what my gameplan is going to be:

1. Buy shiny new work-clothes after the holidays, the best I can find, just for this. I even might get new shoes. And wear a skirt. Gasp!
2. Grab my name tag -- the one that says "Baruch College - Venus Carey: Enrollment Management**" -- before I go.
3. Walk in like I own the place, and claim I'm auditing the exam. Make sure it's fair and gets kids where they need to go, y'know?
4. Laugh. Loudly. Often. Occasionally make "awwwww (this is SO CUTE)" sounds.
5. Be a badass and take the exam in pen. OH SHIT MATH IN PEN. NO WORK SHOWN HERE BITCHES JUST ANSWERS. Aw, poo, it's on the computer.
6. Finish about fifteen minutes after the exam begins -- I'd better be first! -- and chat with the proctor.
7. Ask the kids if they've doublechecked their work and/or made sure they did it in pencil. Also not applicable, since it's not a written test.
7a. Tell the kids I look forward to seeing them at orientation. XDDDD
7b. (Try not to) LMAO when they're surprised to actually see me there!
8. Add to this list as I think of more stuff.

*First time ever: I fell asleep on the train and missed my stop this morning. Granted, I woke up at 14th St., but it still set me back about ten minutes. LOL I'd never missed my stop before. Almost, but never never, until today.
**I've got a name badge that's all official-like: no pasted-on or written-on name, my LAST NAME, and my (puffed-up) position. HELL YEAH.

I shouldn't be such a douche, because I know there are kids who fail this exam horribly every time (I don't understand how, when there's no excuse not to have learned ORDER OF OPERATIONS and shit), but ... it's too easy. XD

Anyway. That was my lulz for today. GONNA GO MAKE HOLIDAY PAPERCRAFTS NOW~

(I don't know if I should use the Ravenclaw icon for this mathiness or the nyoro~n icon for this fail. DECISIONS, DECISIONS.)
