Goddamn I am such a moron. I spent all day yesterday streaming old Supernatural episodes over the web instead of finishing my stats homework as I should have, or working on my 2 finals as I should have.
So I woke up this morning, procrastinated some more, then finally cranked out the rest of my Stats homework in about 30 minutes, then at 11:59 went to upload it to the dropbox. Oh, except our network was down. Motherfucker. In a panic, I knock over my chair & reboot the router, get online, & upload it at 12:01 pm - because the actual due date is 12:15. Okay, sweet.
My housemate comes in with the mail and we talk briefly about some weird class action credit card thing where I can get $25 back from the credit card companies because they apparently fleeced me when I spent money in Europe. Idly I'm looking at my homework and start to notice formatting errors, and quickly correct them. 12:14 I go to upload the new & improved version, but it won't take it. I try it again, and it gives me an error saying I already uploaded a file with that name. Stupid thing. First I think, okay, I'll rename the file... but it already has the name I want. So I figure I should delete the existing one & upload the new one. I do that, and the clock has rolled over to 12:16 and made it LATE. I e-mailed the professor but... well.
Hours. I had so many hours to do this, and I always make it come down to minutes & seconds, for no good reason. Idiot.
