history: I had a huge exam that was coming up, and I study for weeks for it I had a huge exam that like 25 percent of my grade. I study for 2 weeks for it Oh_comma_ I bet that was very stressful and difficult. I hope you did well on it?
current: Yeah because the professor got mad that the book store didn't have the little blue books to write in, so he canceled it and said whatever our current grade was to bump it up a letter grade
