The professor, who looks vaguely familiar, continues to glare. You suddenly realize that this is your calculus class, which you have not attended in three weeks. ] sit You find an empty desk. The chair squeaks as you seat yourself, causing the student next to you to give you a grimace that would make a good Butthole Surfers album cover. The professor brings you a copy of the midterm. ] look test You look at the test. The problems on the first page are impossible. The material on the following eight pages is worse.

There is a door to the east. ] north You stumble down the hallway in a northerly direction. Smacking into the door at the end and popping it open.
