Slept Through My Most Important Final

So i have been studying for my Intro to Aerospace Engineering final for the last week. I have put almost all my focus on it each day trying to make sure that i get above an 80% because that will pull my grade up to a B-. For some reason I didn't put in enough effort and failed the first half of the course. My grade through 1/2 the tests and homeworks was a 32%. So i finally got my act together and aced the rest of the course putting myself in the position where if i did well on the final i wouldn't have to retake the course. So i had prepared and prepared all week and Sunday night i decided i was ready and would go to bed early. I went to bed at 9:30 P.M. didn't fall asleep until after 2:30. It was miserable. I had my phone fully charged and three alarms set so i could get breakfast and take my final at 7:45.

I woke up this morning and checked my phone because i hadn't heard an alarm. It was off. Somehow it turned off in the middle of the night. I woke up at 8:50 ran out of the room and asked some guy to give me a ride. He saved my day because my exam was at the one building the farthest away from my dorm, Surge.

I even checked my phone to make sure it wasn't off or anything while i was laying in bed, because i was paranoid something might happen to cause me to not wake. Usually feel like an idiot because those kind of things don't ever happen. Today i still feel like an idiot....

I went to talk to Erin, our teacher, twice this week during her office hours and these were my exact words as I left her office, "Thanks for your help; see you on Monday. Hopefully I don't oversleep."

So i made it to the class with 40 minutes to spare. Half or the test was conceptual questions so i answered those first, then moved on to the workout, math intensive questons. I didn't get all the way finished but hopefully things work out.
