History paper

FINALS WEEK. The most stressful part of the semester. I don’t sleep, I don’t eat, my hair’s falling off and my breath smells like coffee. Things can’t get any worse right? WRONG.

Here’s the story of my final paper submition.

My wonderful teacher decided it’d be a great idea to have the final and the research paper submition due date on the same day. Me being the wonderful procrastinator I am, ofcourse had to leave it to the damn last minute. My sister offered to help me and out of desperation I agreed. Note that I’d never had anyone do my papers for me before. She wrote like 70% of it but unstructured and not cited. Basically it was a hectic mess, but a 7 page long sophisticated mess. All i had to do was fix the citations and print it. After 5 long nights with barely any sleep, i did my final and rushed home to get started on this damned paper.

TO MY SURPRISE. My laptop decides to update (it takes a full day). No problem, let’s just work on another laptop. The first turned out to be broken. The seccond was out of battery and the charger wasn’t at home. Great, just great. I figured i could head to a local library and use the computers available there. So I do that, but it’s finals week, there aren’t any available. The place is packed. I looked around frusturated and I noticed there’s a laptop left on a desk with no one next to it. I walked towards it (not looking suspicious at all) and to my surprise it was unlocked. I quickly grabed a usb out of my bag and logged onto my email. All i wanted to do was get to my file. Suddenly, i notice some guy looking at me. “I’m screwed” i thought to myself but continued trying to find my file in my inbox. Here I am feeling like a secret agent deducting confidential information from my enemies when he walks up to me. I immediately appologize and explain my whole situation to him. He was surpisingly very nice and even let me edit the folder on his laptop and helped me fix my footnotes. I guess humans really do come together in times of need. I thank him and go on my way, satisfied of my work, ready to print.

I get to a print store releived that for once I finished an assignement 4 hours early. The file got corrupted. I couldn’t even open it. MY FRIENDS THIS IS WHY YOU MUST EJECT YOUR USBS, I REPEAT, EJECT THE USBS.

I rushed back to the library, hoping the nice guy was still there and hadnt deleted the file but he was long gone. Went back to the printing store to ask of there really wasnt any way the file could be fixed. I started pannicking and the guy in the store felt so bad for me that he let me work on one of the desktops that he had. Another hour passed, i finally finished my paper (for the seccond time) and now it’s time to email it to the professor and deliver the the hard copy to her office.

I logged on to my email, but it didn’t take the passwod so I refreshed. Once. Twice. Three times. What’s wrong with it? I just signed on to the nice dudes laptop. That’s when it hit me. I forgot to logg out. FOR FUCKS SAKE. And i thought he was a good person. I contacted my uni and they took forever to cooperate but eventually i managed to reset my email. How much time till the due date you might ask? 13 min. I quickly sent the email but how on earth was I gona make it to her office in time? Campus was a solid 25 min away.

Out of NOWHERE I get a call from my friend who’s asking me abt citations. To my luck she’s on campus and is willing to print my 10 long paper essay. I finally relax and go home. It didn’t hit me until after i ended the call with her that she the paper had to be in APA and i did MLA.

Oh well, screw it. I’m in summer now.
