She gasped and exclaimed, "My Paper!"

Nov 23, 2003 16:00

I completely forgot that I have a paper due tomorrow in my film studies class. I was thinking it was due Wednesday (a day that I don't even have class), because my papers in this class have always been due on Wednesdays. I told myself that I'd work on it tomorrow evening after going to the library.

What a strange realization that I actually have to be productive today! I had been reading with great interest a copy of John Updike's Too Far to Go, my first book for pleasure reading in nearly a month. Naturally I learn that I have to set it down and go to the library today.

What's most cruel of all is that it's a terrifically dreary day--perfect for curling up under a blanket and watching a movie or reading a book. Now I have to leave the warmth and comfort of my apartment for the cold, impersonal library.
