Chapter Twelve

Britte

I didn’t understand. And by that, I meant, I had no clue what the hell was happening around me.

There was a guy up front, a grad student, not the professor. And he was going on and on and on and my brain couldn’t even begin to hope to comprehend the words he was saying.

I felt like a first year trapped in the final exams of my senior year. This may as well have been a class in Russian.

My fingers moved over my laptop keyboard as I struggled to take notes on concepts I hoped I could figure out later. There was reading I had missed for today. I’d somehow forgotten to write it down in my planner.

Sure, it was on the syllabus, but the first day of every class, I tried to plan out all of the homework, day by day, week by week, so I knew what I had to study for or read throughout the semester. Sure, my days got filled up fast, and as the semester went on, I would only add to those already tightly packed days. But somehow I’d missed this.

And instead of double-checking my planner with my syllabus on Sunday, like I usually did, I’d been on a date with Beckett, ruining any chance of there ever being another date.

Ever.

Oh, my God, I just wrote Beckett instead of biology.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Class wrapped up slowly…painfully slowly. I wanted to pull my hair out by the end of it. But at least it was my last class for the day.

All of my classes had pretty much gone this way. This last one was made slightly better by the fact that nobody asked me a question I had to fumble my way through.

Like my first class of the day.

Teacher: “Nichols, what is the distinguishing characteristic of a P-type pump?”

Me: “Uh, the…P?” Head to desk.

Answer: It must be phosphorylated during the cycle.

Duh.

My professor had asked me if everything was okay after the end of class. I’d lied and told her that I had been up late studying for a quiz in a different class, and my brain was too tired to retain any other information right now.

She’d completely understood.

What was also sad, was that she hadn’t been surprised at my answer.

Apparently, that was not an uncommon response.

I was officially worried for health care across the country.

College was this weird thing. I grew up thinking doctors were these super smart human beings that could never be wrong because it was their job not to be wrong. The same with teachers. And scientists. And business owners.

But now I went to school with the future versions of all of those things. I was going to be a doctor. Me! Not anytime soon, but eventually…one day.

I mean, did I trust myself? Did I think I could retain all of this information and one day be responsible for the primary care of all my imaginary patients?

Or what about Ellie who would one day be a psychologist? Sure, she was brilliant and intuitive and quick.
