First off I'd like to state my undying hatred for John Milton's Paradise Lost:
MILTON! WE HATES IT WE HATES IT WE HATES IT FOREVER!
Now that that's out of the way, a story, if you will. (Weee! I love storytime!)
So. Idiot-boy is assigned a pair of essays, due within a week of each other. Idiot-boy gets stressed out and works his ass off finishing the first, then procrastinates a great deal on the second, thinking he has a bit of time before it's due and it will be easy.
Idiot-boy then notices that the late penalty for the second essay's class is a mere 2% a day.
Idiot-boy celebrates by playing PSO endlessly and posting a lot on PSOW.
Idiot-boy then, nearly a week overdue, decides maybe he should get to work on the essay. Looks at his syllabus, spots the length requirement, and nearly craps his pants.
Idiot-boy then writes an essay which is 300 words under the requirements he sees on the page.
Idiot-boy finishes the essay as best he can, prints it off (having to deal with a brand-new-faulty ink cartridge...lovely...) and then goes back to the syllabus to find out where the office is for that faculty so he can hand in the essay.
Idiot-boy then notices he read the WRONG LENGTH REQUIREMENT.
Idiot-boy hit the EXACT length he needed. And is now posting to PSOW a rant about how stupid he is.
God I'm an idiot.
