I remember me going about business as usual. Yes it was sad, but I immediately focused on the task at hand, and wrote the test, scoring quite well.
I'm sure many of the people in the class that day decided I was cold and sadistic.

What it even someone they knew? Funnily I've been in almost that same situation with a mock exam for biology - I went into the school and [after being forgotten about and left outside a room alone for two hours waiting for my exam] was told that a teacher had died. The exam was postponed, much to my annoyance though I now understand why, and everyone including those who didn't know her cried and cried. Only me and someone else didn't because we didn't see why we were meant to, the other girl was actually made to feel seriously guilty by other classmates for not being upset... I don't get it
