Why I don't like getting up at 4:45 am

1. SO, I think I have read the instructions for an assignment and therefore, work on it the night before it is due and am feeling pretty good because it's done and I don't have to think about it anymore. Then, the next day (TODAY), when it's due, I overhear others talking about it and I soon realize I have done the assignment wrong. I pull out the instructions, realize that I actually didn't ever read them and proceed to re-do the assignment. Then, it's all printed off, and I'm getting ready to truck all the way across campus in the freezing cold to hand it in, when I overhear more people talking about it and again realize I STILL didn't totally do the assignment right. I get out my instructions, read them again and yup, still missed something. How is this possible?!? When did I stop being able to read properly? Then it dawns on me. I have been up since 4:45. Every day this week. I am lacking sleep. And then, I don't feel so bad. And I hand the dumb thing in just the way it is. Incomplete.

Yeah, waking up at that crazy time every morning can do things to you. Perhaps you are insane. It's possible. So did you guys get a massive blizzard like we did yesterday? Chris and I skipped two days of school because otherwise we would be walking in -40 something windchill with blowing snow everywhere. Didn't sound like much fun to me, ecspecially now when I have a stupid cold. Jeepers, what's up with that. I thought I would avoid getting sick all winter, I guess not. Anyways, that's all for now, email me back about coming out there in a few weeks.

uggghh. I did that once too. We had weeks to do this report...I thought it was only a minor essay. I did it on a few plain white pages. I stapled them together and handed it in, only to notice everyone else has a professional title page and they are all in binders! Eek. Oh well, lesson learned.

Perhaps you are insane...

hee hee. you should really memorize one of your classmates' student numbers and put it on your assignment, and then do the classic switch, you know, like they do in the movies. you should CHEAT, in other words. thats my advice.your schoolwork shouldnt have to suffer becuase of your early mornings. Someone elses school work should suffer becuase of your early mornings. it makes sense, trust me. or just get your slave to do your assignments for you. he can read, right?
ps. that cinnamon bun is huge, please send me one in the mail.

the nice thing about getting up so early, is when you don't have to get up til say 6 or so, you feel like you've slept in!

Jen said...

Dear Kevin. okay. this is why i didn't think it was you. You NEVER sign your name "kevin" and I didn't know you used Autocad in highschool. I am a terrible sister. Please accept my sincerest apologies brother! Don't let this deter you from leaving comments on my blog, I like a little mystery now and then...
Love ya and miss ya--call me!
