THAT WAS JUST AMAZING!
Wow. Wow.
I had a paper due tonight at 11:55 p.m.
I couldn't do it this morning, as I had to edit another paper and make a slide show for a group presentation, then go to class. When I came home from class, I had to clean the bathroom, make a cake, then make and eat dinner, have a birthday party. While I was doing those things, I read a bell hooks essay to beef up my outside sources for this paper. (I used, like, five scholarly papers and studies aside from the book on this one).
Then, I got the kids ready for bed and in bed. 10 p.m. I wrote and wrote and wrote, and talked gun control with my mom and Bill and Carlos. They all went to bed. 11 p.m. I wrote and wrote and wrote, and looked up studies and quotes, and wrote. 11:45 p.m. I painstakingly APA-styled my damn references. 11:53 p.m. I went to hand the paper in. But the assignment requires you both upload and copy and paste. I copy and paste. I upload. Shoot, I forgot to click that little "I promise I didn't plagiarize box." It kicks me back. 11:54 p.m. I click the box. I submit.
ON FUCKING TIME.
In yo' face, grad school. A WHOLE MINUTE TO SPARE.
