Did I get out of this exam?

I arrived late to my last physics exam (no final in the course) earlier this week and didn't have enough time to finish it. Being the awesome person she is, my professor offered to let me retake it this morning. So I get to school and she's not around. I called her cellphone, no answer. I left a voicemail and she hasn't gotten back to me yet. I can't wait around all day. So, here I am posting from school when I should've been out rejoicing that the semester is finally over.

Did I get out of taking it? My average so far in the class is an A. On my last exam, I had a perfect score. Does anyone think that's good enough for me to ask her to drop this exam if she ever contacts me back? I don't really think I'll be able to take it past today since she's headed out on vacation. :confused:

But don't you see, she's not being nice about it. You didn't show up for the exam when it was offered. She isn't showing up to the remake. She's going to give you a 0 and pretend she never scheduled a retake, it's meant to be a lesson in promptness.

Sorry about your luck. Enjoy working at Mcdonalds for the rest of your life.

Hah, you might if shes cool.

I didn't have to take my Business Law final because it was scheduled on our reading day (day where exams are supposed to not be scheduled and it is clearly marked on our Academic calendars as "Reading Day, No Exams scheduled"). I mistook it for the following Thursday, and he was like, I'll just average your old exam grades.

I would not assume because she didn't show up that you will be getting anything but an incomplete on the test.

Heh, even with a 0, I'd still pass the course. But, this is exactly why I come to ATOT, to gain another perspective on life's little moments.

I'm gonna split. Fuck physics.

She is really cool, that's why I bought her a gift. Now I won't be able to give it to her. What a waste of $$ lol

If you didn't finish your last exam but still managed to get a perfect score, then there's no worries.

True, but I'm crossing my fingers on this one. Come on, do it with me!

Perhaps I worded it wrong, but I got a perfect score on my previous exam, so of course, I finished it.

I didn't finish this exam (last one of the semester) and it was to be completed it today.

I'm pretty cool with her. I guess that's why she gave me her cellphone number, lol.

Cross your fingers. You are at her mercy when it comes to this one. You need to contact her and find out what is going on.

That's what I was worried about. I called once and left a voicemail, hopefully that is enough. Otherwise, I've got other plans to worry about tonight.

At the worst, couldn't she at least give you partial credit for the part of the exam you did finish, or am I missing something?
