That. Took. Way. Too. Long.
Nov. 15th, 2004 06:40 pmAbout two weeks ago Dr. Bajwa gave us an assignment. No, there was no question about the due date - that was quite definitely today. Just about the point.
The assignment was this: to, in groups of 2 or 3, make a brochure for a 5-day "ecology tour". We had to have our theoretical tour travel (no motorized vehicles!) to two different biomes. We had to make an itinerary, talk about the animals and plants we'd see, the ecology, recommended clothing, meals and accommodations, and - most importantly to Dr. Bajwa, it seems! - it had to be shiny and colorful. Oh, and just to make things harder for us, it had to be on legal paper.
Now the first part of any group project is, of course, forming groups. I didn't think to do this until about the beginning of this week, and neither did Avi. So we ended up in a group together. There was a 3rd person who didn't have a group yet either, but that was Dmitry, so it was me and Avi.
Of course, you know what we were doing last week - working on our lit essays. Or rather, that's probably what Avi was doing while I was looking for my spacing book. Regardless, neither Avi nor I thought to start till Friday. Did I start? No. Did Avi start? No. So that leaves Saturday and Sunday.
Now Saturday, as you'll recall, I went to SHP, math practice, and then was home for about two hours before people started arriving for my birthday party. So naturally I didn't do any work on it that day.
( That leaves Sunday, or, yesterday. )
( But wait! There's more! )

[3]Woah, deja-vu.
[4]I have to wonder what he was doing up that early - no, wait, I know that. I have to wonder why he was up that early.
