Having spoiled a running test, necessitating one to have to reset all of the hardware (and software if necessary) and restart the test from the beginning.
This is actually a retest; approx. 3 hours into the first one, I accidentally bumped something that I shouldn't have and subsequently queered the test; so I recharged the cell and started a second test. :-/

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay.
