Confusion

I got so confused today. There are two slacker boys in my listening/speaking class. Neither of them was there on gift-exchange day (secret Santa). They both showed up today and in class I made arrangements for one of them to come get his gift (from another student) which I had taken to my office. We planned to do this after graduation. The other one told me he needed to take the final early because he was leaving for his country on Monday.

Sooo, after ESL graduation, the gift one came up to me and asked if he could come to my office. I thought he wanted to take the test (which I hadn't even prepared yet!). I said now was not a good time and to come to my office at 3:00 (when another young woman was taking the final early). He said 3:00 was not a good time for him and that 4:00 was better. I said okay.

So at 3:00, the other guy and the girl came to take the test. I was a bit confused. I asked out loud, "Are three people taking the test?" I gave them the test, ornery the whole time because I thought I'd have to do it all over again in an hour (play cds for the listening test). They left, then the other guy came. I was still thinking I was giving him the test!! He told me he was just there for his present.

I went to the gym later that day and started laughing really hard when I remembered how mean I had been to him at graduation--telling him he had to come at 3:00. Poor guy. All he wanted was his gift.

And why am I so confused? Fatigue is my only excuse.
