Scary Memory

I realize now, with such a bad economy, I need to do my best in school. Maybe it doesn't seem like much but every little bit helps and what's better than being able to put a good GPA on a resume?

I remembered this one time when I almost screwed myself over big time.

I was taking this B.S. Class and we were supposed to read some book and write this 7 pg report about it.

Well, I waited the night before it was due to write it, when I realized that the book that I had been reading for the past month was the wrong book! (I guess this goes without saying, but I never went to lecture or section because it was optional)

I freaked out and drove to Barnes and Noble at 5pm to grab the book I was supposed to read. I ate and talked at SRB (my second year btw) and it was 7pm!

I turned on my computer and started skimming the chapters (I had NO idea what this book was about and I couldn't find much help on the internet) and I kept freaking out.

10pm. I decided to start writing what I could (this paper was due at 10am the next morning) and I decided to take one of my imfamous "5 minute naps" with my alarm on.

I woke up.

8 hours later.

it was 6am! I had finished skimming about three chapters, and I only wrote about half a page!

AHH!!!!!!!!!!

4 hours!

The clock was ticking

8:45 am

I have less than 2 hours left and I'm only on the 3rd page!

9: 45 am!

The paper is miraculously finished. 7 pages to the last line!

I go to print it and my printer is out of ink! I remember that I had INK on my things to get list the very day before but i forgot!

dumb dumb!

ahh!

I wake up a fellow brother ask for help. His printer is out of ink too! I ask the last brother in the house and we manage to print it out!

HORRAY!!!!!!

I print it out and my stapler is out of staples! I'm getting tired of this.

I refill the staples and staple the essay.

I have my car keys in my pocket the entire time and drive to the UV

There is no parking!

I go to the last floor and park and run to the Theatre!

I turn it in!

----------

The next week, I see online that I got 10/10 on the essay.

I'm intrigued.

I go to section and I remember that the professor told us at the beginning of the quarter that we get full points for just doing the term paper.

HAHA I will NEVER do that again!
