The matrix Effect in Real Life


Recommended Posts

First you should know the backstory. My school has 7 classes in a day broken up into hours. 7th hour i have a class on the oppisite side of school as my locker. We are given 5 min breaks in between clases to get our stuff ready. IT takes about 1 min for me to walk to my locker and get my stuff. THen i have to power-walk half the way and walk the rest in order to not be late. In my school we dont have tardys, bell rings and you aint in your seat your absent, 10 absecens and you lose a credit along with not getting a credit for the class you had 10 abscense in.

Well, today i ran to my locker cause i had an abnormal amoutn of stuff to carry, and it would slwo me down. I get to it and then go to class, this time i am about 30 seconds early to class. I imidatly take me seat, within seconds i relize i left a paper i had to turn in today in my locker. My teacher is a ###### and if it is more than 2 seconds late form when she wants it she gives you a 0%.

I leap over a desk dart out the door, i then have a straight shot down a coridor, around a turn, down a another corridor, around another turn, then down a small halway. That normal takes about 2 min to WALK. I am nto a fast runner but today i ran faster than i thought was humanly possible. I ran so fast the fat on my face was bulled back and my vision blured, i esentaly had tunnel vison where i saw my destination with perfect cvlarity, but the rest was blurry.

I managed to get to my locker in under 13 seconds, do the com in under 3 and bolt back the same way in under 10 leaving my 4 seconds to take my seat.

On the way to my locker i passed a buddie, when i got out of 7th hour he remarked that i was runnign like a demon fleeign a holy man.

Damn that was crazy... i cant seem to run that fast again for some reason..... Man i wish i could, that was awsome.

On amore serious note, your adrenaline level was raised quite a bit during this "potentially scary" situation, so with the higher level of adrenaline pumping through your body, you were able to run to your locker faster than you thought was possible.

It's a slight variation of the well documented "fight or flight" scenario (when confronted by a bully or something), where your adrenaline level goes up to allow you to either run faster than you normally can, or fight with more ferocity than you normally can.

It sure as hell wasent i dream, so far i blame it on the Fight or Flight Respones. I was at 9 absences. a tenth would fail me and stop me from graduating. THat means no college and big punishments form parents. I COULDNT have been dreaming... And it wasent drugs of any kind (i dont even take tylonol). It was like... Neato.... Anyone else ever had somthing similar happen? I mean liek where you do somthing that you thought impossible. Like lifting a car or somthing.

I dont mean benchpressing a car i man grabbing the bumper and lifting it high enough to be able to change a tire or somthing.

No no. The clas has a total of like 1000 points. There are about 3 projects worth 200 the final is 300 and the assorted homework is like 10 a piece. Passing is 60%. I Had gotton like a 75% and a 65% on the first two project, and missed some homework because of doctors appointments, flu, ect ect ect. BEcasue of that i missed like 5 or 6 homework assigments. I wasent sure how i would do on the final and stil aint, but if i missed this paper then it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to pass. Just because of how the numbers work out.

usaly i am much better orginized, but this year has been hectic trying to get into a good uni, and graduate, and keep a job, and keep the damn needy rents happy. (FFS cant they get thier OWN booze from the friggin fridge? is it TOO much to ask them to get off their ass and move 5 feet?)

Suprisingly sicne the school requiers 7 hours of work and i only need like 3 credits to graduate (i planned on gradding a year early so i took alot fo extra summer coruses, then found out my school wont let me grad early) im also going to a school paid Comunity COllege Programming class.)

Wow, demanding school. Don't worry about it though, high school is useless anyway. I completely skipped it and went on straight to college.
