Examination

Watching students take an exam is like watching snails race.
At first you are excited. This could be an amazing race. I could win some money.
Then after 15 minutes your cheers lessen and you stop watching.
You lay down with your foot at the finish line thinking, "I will take a nap and the first one will wake me up."
You are suprised by first place primarily because you feel so well rested. However you bet on last place and so now you watch to see who will be last.
So you quietly cheer them on, hoping that they will actually finish and that you won't die here of old age.
