Today, my mother found out about the psychology exam I have to take tomorrow. Before leaving for her vacation this morning, she grabbed the internet router and took it with her to "get rid of distractions". I have one day to figure out how to access this online exam without Internet. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my neighbor finally password-protected his wifi. Right in the middle of my timed, online exam. FML
Today, my landlady cut off the Internet to my flat. She says she has no use for it, and doesn't want to keep it anymore. I have 3 online assignments due in the next week, and finals the following week. FML
Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she'd seen my financial calculator on my way out to an exam. She told me she'd tossed it in the donation pile that she'd taken to the Salvation Army this morning because it was "clutter." I needed it to take an exam required to pass the class, to graduate next month. The only place to buy a replacement was closed. FML
Today, I missed my history exam because they'd changed the day. Apparently they sent out an email to let everyone know. Too bad I'd banned myself from the internet in order to study for the exam. FML
Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML
Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Today, I asked my mom to help my daughter with Zoom school while I handled an emergency. When I got back, I found out my mom went through my laptop containing all my documents, my emails and even the journal my therapist suggested I keep. She says she was looking for a Zoom link. Yeah right. FML
Today, my mom found out that I’ve been faking my exam grades, turning my 30s to 80s and 40s to 90s on the paper exams. She got access to my online student portal and saw my real grades. I'm grounded for the rest of the school year. FML
Today, I found out that yesterday's exam, which I left almost blank, had been leaked 3 hours prior. I hadn't been able to see it because my phone was out of juice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hope you texted your mother letting her know you failed the test because she removed your internet. You probably didn't, but i'd still do it just to make a point to her not to mess with things she doesn't know.

Meh. You should have just told your mom about it instead of letting her find out on her own. this could have easily been avoided. As far as what to do now goes, go a mile in almost any direction and you will probably find a McDonald's. Get something off the dollar menu and sit and eat it while you take your test. Doesn't seem like such a major problem, just a minor inconvenience that could have been avoided.

I feel sorry for you, OP. I probably wouldn't be able to last 1 day without Internet, exam or no exam, haha.

I assume you've sent this from your phone, then you can just connect it to your PC and turn USB tethering on, then you'll be using your phone's data on the PC. I only know that's what it's called for Android, but I assume iPhones have an option like this too (probably with the same name)

go buy another router, and then when you're done take it back, or put it away in case this ever happens again.

Public libraries have free wifi, and some have study rooms you can rent so you can take your exam free of noise or distractions.
