Alright so we had this paper due in my english class today. The paper had to be four pages long. I finished up two pages worth and figured I'd leave the remaining two for the day it was due. Which was today.
Everything was going as I planned. I skipped my math lecture, slept in until 11:00. Then I attended another useless chemistry lecture. After which I went to eat at the dining hall, which was pretty disgusting. Then I was ready for my paper.
Me being a proficient writer, I began rolling on my paper. I was unstoppable. I finished up the remaining two pages and was ready to go. It was 2:00 PM and my english class was at 2:30 PM. I had just enough time to print it off and then catch the bus to get to class. I'd walk but then of course I wouldn't get to class until 4:00 PM next Tuesday (thats a different story).
Then of course everything went wrong. My printer was broken, my roommates computer was locked so I couldn't get on his. It was 2:05. So I wasted another five minutes swearing and complaining about how bad my luck was. Then I ran to the computer lab in Cary East and tried to print there. Of course there was no paper in that printer there, so I wasted another five minutes swearing about how bad my luck was.
The building where my class was had a lab in it, so I figured I could get there and print it and be only a little bit late. It was 2:25. So I ran to the bus stop and of course, god was against me today so it took a good 10 minutes for the bus to get there. It was 2:35. By the time the bus got to the building where my lab was, it was 2:45. I was fifteen minutes late and counting.
So I ran (in the loosest sense of the word) to the second floor and got to the lab and printed my paper out. It was finally time. I burst through the doors of the classroom triumphantly and took my seat. Then of course I was made fun of by a few classmates and of course the teacher. It was light ribbing (just a few laughs and a cynical comment) but it still hurt.
With all of that said, I learned a few things. Finish up your paper a little earlier to give yourself time, and never count on God being on your side. He likes to mess with us.
