            (This is a girl in her early 20s, and she is  VERY distraught)

F!  I got an F!  I can't believe it!

           (Listens)

But I DID study!  I did!  I got a tutor, and I studied for this test for the last two weeks!  I mean, I did sleep, but not a lot, and outside of my work and other classes, all I did was study for this horrible test!  And still.....I got...an ...an F!

That's right - it seems impossible!  I mean, I know I hate math, but I studied!  And.....

          (She takes a deep breath and is a little shy)

And.....what I don't understand is......I also cheated!

I mean, I didn't want to....but I figured if I didn't know, I could at least....cheat!

This is the last class in math I have to take before my degree!  And this is the third time I have failed!

         (Shakes her head)

I guess I am doomed to live in this college for the rest of my life.....to repeat this class like one of those movies where the day repeats itself.....over and over.....only in this case, there is a class, and I fail it.....over and over.....and the worst part is.....unlike the movie, this never ends!

          (She turns to leave, stops, looks back)

Only, maybe the worst part is.....that I even failed at ....cheating!

          (She exits to a revolving door of life in the math lane!)
