Midterms were eating everyone alive this semester, that much was obvious from the collective exhaustion hanging over campus like a storm cloud that refused to break.

His own exams had gone well enough; psychology came naturally to him, the theories and case studies fitting together like puzzle pieces in his mind... but now he had a different kind of test ahead.

Professor Chen had caught him after Statistics for So
