Z = 0.43 ?!?

The worst feeling in the world is going into a test purely confident, and then reading the first question thinking it might as well be in Japanese. This was my fate today in Statistics, i just kept getting more and more frustrated, which made me more and more frustrated...at one point I was doing a question just as time was running up. This is a bit how it went:

I caculated the value z=0.43

Umashankar: Test is up, put down your pencil.

Me (Thinking): What the hell do I do with z=0.43!?!?! 0.43, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!?!?!?!

Umashankar: Get up to the front of the room.

Me: Look at the tables???? Yes! Look at the tables!

Umashankar: I said get down here now.

Table: 0.4803

Me: What the hell do I do with 0.4803?!?!?!?

Umashankar: If you are still sitting in a seat your test is not getting graded!!

Me (proceeding to sit on the floor): Subtract 0.5????? Well, I haven't used C in a while.

Umashankar: If you are not at the front of the room in 2 seconds...

Me: (walking to the front of the room bubbling in C for that question, and C for the other 5 questions I didn't get to): AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

As you can see, it wasn't Good Test Day today. Blasted Statistics.

But, I don't think I missed any on my accounting test, which I guess makes it Sorta Good Test Day.

However, tomorrow is Good Breakfast Day, so life is good. For the most part.
