I’ve already told Binkle this fateful story.

For 3/4 of the time during my 2 hour midterm, there was a faint static screech coming over the speakers in the classroom, that the professor either did not notice or chose to ignore for the sake of cruel torture. Eventually, the damn thing screeched loud enough for him to notice, and he casually - ever so coolly - strutted over to the podium and attempted to adjust the volume.

3/4 of the exam time. It was excruciating. But no one else was reacting to it, so I didn’t pipe up.

Ugh…university really blows sometimes.
