Amazing Grace Days

"If it wern't for the last minute nothing would ever get done." Thats what my mother said to me at 10:30pm last night. After I hung up the phone I began writing the 7 page paper which was due at 4pm today. By 2am I had finished a small box of rice crispies and half of a carton of orange juice. I considered making myself some macaroni salad but decided to sleep instead. 6:30 came fast, if not for the un-regulateable water in the shower I'm not sure how I would have gotten the energy to continue. Those sudden jolts of frigid and scolding water blended with blissful moments of perfection were like a gift from the "Wake the heck up" gods. After edge of your sleep thrill ride in econ at 8am I took myself a well deserved nap in the commuter lounge. Unfortunately it lasted but a mere 45 min and then it was back to work on that paper. "I''ve got plenty of time" six whole hours. By 3pm I proclaimed completion, by 3:50 my teacher was telling me not to hand it in or she would give me a 50. Thankfully I still have 3 "grace" days. Darn that MLA format.
