The History Test

I look up at the clock as it tick tick ticks slowly toward the end. The end of this horrible test, and the end of the first-half of this horrible day. Only 15 minutes now, only 15 minutes and then it's lunch time. That leaves me with 5 minutes per page, front and back. If only this were a Math test. I'm no math wizard or anything but when It comes to Math I actually pass. But History? History has numbers like Math but they aren't used in the way they are supposed to. In History numbers make up dates. There SO many dates. Like how America was created in 1776, stuff like that. The only reason I knew that is because I've known it since, like, kindergarten. 1776 is not divisible by 15 so that the answer is a whole number. 15 minutes for a test I don't want to do. I wish this were Math.
Our teacher, Mrs. Williams, doesn't think just one date is enough. This test has one page dedicated to dates, 10 questions on each side. That leaves me with only 25 seconds for each question. Not like the answers are going to magically appear in my brain anyways. Though that would be nice. But no, they aren't going to apprear because I didn't study. It would have only taken half an hour. Two fifteen minute periods put together. Fifteen, the amount of time I have left on this test. Fifteen minutes for five minutes for each paper. Two and a half minutes for each side. Seconds for each question. Fifteen minutes for the test, and time is running out, out, out. I wish this were Math.
Since I didn't study what I needed to I don't have the answers. I had 45 minutes to do this test. Fifteen times three. I had five times three minutes to do each side. Five minutes for every fifteen. Fifteen minutes for each paper. How could I do it in five? The test is blank because I didn't study. I don't know the answer and I definitly can't figure this out. Or at least I dont have the time too. Seconds to answer each question, two and a half minutes to complete one side of a page, 5 minutes to complete a page, three pages. I have fifteen minutes to complete a test I did not study for, do not know the answers to, and is blank, blank, blank. Oh, I wish, wish, wish this were stupid Math.
So I begin writing, random numbers in random spots, answers that look right, everything you can think of. I finish. Only because I used those 15 minutes wisely. But I'm still going to fail because all the answers are wromg, all wrong. I am so glad this sin't Math.

history isn't about numbers
history isn't about numbers buy mythology and story telling as you've shown here.

You've drawn a funny, but
You've drawn a funny, but realistic mental moan! Love of numbers can be very distracting. Need a few more brain links of dates to events like 1776, and maybe tell the teacher the funny links, and at least she'd appreciate a real understanding of Maths there to account for the odd answers on the test!
Good idea for the IP too. Rhiannon
