MISERY: Is a general physiology test you study three days straight for and still don't finish in enough time to do the last problem. Plus the gorgeous black-clad girl who sits in front of you, who seems sweet yet self-possessed, finishes after 45 minutes, which only pushes you further into the zone of inadequacy. The sweet, self-possessed girls who are blatantly smarter than me are the one who really get under my skin, for whatever reasons.

On the plus side, I think I may have already won my office NCAA pool, which involves real money. For educational purposes only, of course.
