better a little late than never

so today is saturday. not much going on. just going to go to work and then prolly hang out with some of my girlfriends. b/c it's saturday and that means we generally get all dolled up and head out to a pub or something and just hang out and gossip like old hens.

so as the day progresses, i have nothing pressing to do so i enjoy a nice leisurely afternoon at work and watch the roughriders pull one over on the bc lions, the thought that i still might have an assignment due never once crosses my mind.

it wasn't until later this evening as my friend and i were contemplating where to go tonite that it hit me! i still have one assignment due for orientation to funeral services! crap! just what i was hoping to do tonite. sit down and write a 4 PAGE PAPER!!! that's right, this wasn't just a fill-in-the-blank assignment, or a stupid computer term crossword puzzle. this was a major paper worth 30%!

so i rush home and plunk myself down in our not-so-comfortable la-z-boy and miraculously whip up a paper on my experience with the arrangements of a funeral service. unfortunately, my dads or my two nephews funerals were too personal, so i couldn't use those as references for my paper. luckily, i had had a tour of one of the funeral homes here in the city several months ago and i just so happened to have helped as an attendant for the service.

ok, so i don't necessarily recommend writing a paper in 2 1/2 hours. it prolly won't be your best work. so mental note: next time you have a paper due, don't wait until the 11th hour to write it! note taken and lesson learned!
