Burger Exam

Date: 5/12/2022

I’m still in high school and I’m in the guidance office at Park Vista. I go and check some files over by the front wall to check to see if I have any homework or make-up work for my online class. I go through the list of names, but I can’t find mine. I suddenly remember that I withdrew from the class. I check another stack of files next to the one I just went through. This one is for the culinary class that I’m apparently taking. I find my name and check for work, and I see that there’s a test today. The room has now transformed into a culinary classroom, but I take no notice to this change. The teacher is explaining to the class that we will be cooking burgers for the test. I don’t remember the lesson for cooking burgers, so I’m a little worried, but I think it should be easy enough for me to wing it. I look around and see everyone is cooking theirs in a saucepan of grease. I ask the teacher if I can cook mine differently and he excitedly encourages me to get creative. I pull out an iron skillet and begin cooking my burger in there. I’m surprised that we aren’t expected to cook them on a grill instead.
