In four days, I am supposed to hand in a 25 pages long project paper in the pol.sci. course I’m taking. However, being a lazy, useless slob, I haven’t even begun reading for it yet. I tried to start working on it today, but before I can even think about writing the paper, I have to have at least 30 or 40 pages of notes, meaning that I have to read enough relevant literature to extract this amount of notes. And as of this moment, I have less than 102 hours left before the deadline.
If I had worked on the paper rather than just thinking about doing it, or about not doing it, for that matter, in the last months, I’d be scott free now. But alas (here I refer to the above labeling of myself as a lazy, useless and so on), I’ve been watching B5 instead.
So now, there’s proverbial dust on my proverbial guitar, and it’s all my fault. I am, in other words, fucked, as there is no way in Hell I’ll be able to finish this crap in the time I have left. Like I said, I made a final, desperate attempt today, but after spending two hours on a 20 pages long chapter about the some aspect of American government (I can’t even remember which one), and after confering with one of my cousins (Gods bless her), I have resigned, completely and utterly.
Meaning that I instead have to take an extra course next autumn (one a hell of a lot easier than this one, though), forsake the transformation of 8000 NOK from loan to scholarship, and postpone the completion of my bachelor degree for another semester.
Words cannot describe the amount of self-loathing I am feeling right now.

I wish I could offer you my sympathies, but I find it hard to sympathize with people who brings this kind of thing upon themselves. :\ You do have my empathy, though, for what it’s worth.
Good luck on your next term!

“I wish I could offer you my sympathies, but I find it hard to sympathize with people who brings this kind of thing upon themselves.”
Yeah, I feel much the same way. I’ve acted like an idiot, now (and for the next six to eight months) I pay the price.
As for your empathy and your good-luck-wishing, thanks.
Now, all I have to do is ace that other course I’m taking, so that this term will feel like less of a waste… :\

Yeah, I get what you mean. I’m a little weird that way, though, ’cause since I started at the University, there’s been three terms I aced all subjects. Those are the same three terms I on some level feel was most wasted, ’cause I in hindsight feel like “I didn’t work that hard, I could totally have pulled off taking another course in addition that term”, whilst terms where I did les superbly in my courses, I in hindsight feel hey, I did the best I could that term, didn’t I? XD

As Forest Gump once so pointedly said: shit happens. A lot of the time, shit happens because you stepped in it yourself. You’ll just have to live it, even though it tastes like crap.
I offer my empathy as well as vile profanities to make you feel better. Remember; Reaper’s Gale is out

Dude, I’d advise you not to change metaphors like that. XD

And now that I won’t be taking this pesky course, I actually have the time to read it!

Now, if you’ve actually learned anything from this, it would be, well, not dandy, but barely okay. But if you’re anything like me you’ve only learned to loathe yourself, so, bah.
Work better next time. (sounds better than “Better luck next time”, for if you believe you’ll pull through no matter what you’ll procrastinate as hell.)

I’m afraid the latter might be the case, here. Unfortunately.

Thanks. (And I agree on everything in your paranthesis.)
