Setting: The school cafeteria, where students are chatting and eating after finishing the math exam.
You: sighs I can’t believe that math exam! I feel like I just ran a marathon.
Friend: Right? It was so intense! I thought I was going to implode halfway through.
You: Same here! I stared at that first question for what felt like an eternity. What was up with those word problems?
Friend: Honestly! They felt like riddles. I spent forever trying to figure out what they were actually asking.
You: And don’t get me started on that last question! I just guessed on it.
Friend: Me too! I couldn’t remember how to apply that theorem. I just wrote down some random formula and hoped for the best.
You: I wish I'd studied more for that one! I thought I had a good grasp on everything, but that exam was on another level.
Friend: Same! I even did extra practice problems. I guess it wasn’t enough—no warning about the difficulty.
You: Right? The teacher said it might be challenging, but I didn’t think it would be that challenging.
Friend: I suppose we’ll find out how we did soon enough. Just hope the grading isn’t as brutal as the exam!
You: Fingers crossed! Maybe we can meet up and study together next time?
Friend: Definitely! We need to tackle those word problems head-on. Let's not get caught off guard again!
You: Agreed! Let’s make a plan. We’ll be ready for the next one!
Friend: Sounds like a plan! Now, let’s grab some pizza and forget about math for a bit!
You: Yes! Pizza makes everything better!
They both laugh and head to the cafeteria line for some much-needed comfort food.
