The Night Before
October 2027. Yuna's CELPIP test is at nine the next morning. At four in the afternoon, her manager asks her to stay until ten at night to close the month's accounts. Stay, and walk into the test exhausted. Refuse, and risk the job she needs for the very application the test is for. She has to choose, and then explain her choice to him. Season 3, Episode 2 · CELPIP Speaking Task 6: Dealing with a Difficult Situation.

Friday, four o'clock
At four o'clock on Friday, October 15, Yuna had exactly one plan for the evening, and she had made it three weeks earlier, in a notebook with a picture of a cat on the cover.
5:30 — leave work. 6:00 — pick up the boys. 6:30 — dinner (husband cooks; he promised). 7:30 — bath, books, bed. 8:30 — review Task 5 and Task 7 notes, one hour, NO MORE. 9:30 — shower, prepare ID, set two alarms. 10:00 — sleep.
Under it, in capital letters: DO NOT STUDY AFTER 9:30. GRACE SAYS THE BRAIN NEEDS SLEEP MORE THAN VOCABULARY.
Her test was at nine o'clock the next morning, at the test centre on the south side. She had paid three hundred dollars for it. She had studied at five in the morning, every morning, for five months, while the twins slept. Her permanent residence application depended on it.
At four o'clock, her manager, Mr. Lindqvist, stopped at her desk.
