If not too late, I would like to join too.

I am interested~

Emphasis points of a non-academia recommendation. I.e focus on character or community service activities?

Lol @ This song was on the radio like every half hour. Good memories.

For the November exam, I have prepared $5 worth of quarters in my car and 5 singles in the sweats I plan to wear that day. I am ready!

I also have a similar experience... For my first test, I didn't realize that my testing facility (university campus) had only coin-operated parking meters for the public. Of course I did not have any cash, so I had to hunt down an ATM machine hidden inside one of the campus buildings, withdraw $20, and run back to a coin exchange machine to get $20 worth of quarters. Not as dramatic as your story, but my heart was pounding from all the cardio work I had gotten in prior to the exam. My lesson learned that day - always have cash on hand.
