The evening before New Year's Eve I decided to finally get my papers done for an online class I'd signed up for through University of San Diego. I had to read a book and then complete four papers on different prompts for the book. Well, I read the book last summer and never got around to writing the papers. I mean, I had nine months to complete this thing... what can I say? I'm a procrastinator.
So anyway, I'm at the counter working on the first paper (by the way, I don't do drafts) and my sister pops open a bottle of wine. Who am I to turn that down. Wine hits me FAST and before I knew it I was on my second paper with a happy little buzz. By the fourth paper I was definitely drunk but was as focused as ever to finish this paper. Well I did, and then I thought to myself, "Self, should I review these in the morning before I fax them off for a grade?" NOPE. I had them faxed over that evening, which was difficult because I have a hard enough time with fax machines when I'm sober, but I got it through.
I got my grade in the mail on Friday and managed to get an A for my thoughtful analysis and response! I should have drunk more in college. I would have been a much better English student and had a much better transcript. :)
