Ok. So it’s 10:15, and right about now, I should probably be doing my rhetoric homework for tomorrow. I’ve got to make a speech on why the death penalty is a good thing, and so for tomorrow I have to make an outline.
So I’m thinking, yes it’s getting later and later, but I might as well watch a movie. This whole outline thing shouldn’t be too hard right? But then Mr. Hi-my-name-is-Nathan-and-I’m-responsible comes along.
“So do we have to make a bibliography for this?” he asks. Um…bibliography?
“Did you get any books?” he asks. Now the heart is really starting to race. Books?!?
“Well, we only have to have four sources, right?” he continues.
See the thing is, I could try to make something up like “oh of course I did” but the truth is that I have absolutely no clue what in the world we’re supposed to be doing for this assignment.
“We should ask someone who listens in class…”
Nathan, you’re a genius.
I’ve decided that I need to make a change in my life. You know, I sit in our speech class and never pay attention, and I know it’s not the right thing to do. I need to change my ways. Otherwise I get stuck on a night like tonight not knowing what the heck to do! Now don’t worry though, I’m not going to do something drastic like begin to pay attention.
I just need to get some friends who pay attention.
I also need to get money. From somewhere. I should like, start stealing things or kidnapping people or something. Cause I missed out on a concert tonight all because I would’ve had to pay five dollars. Isn’t that sad? It is. Just in case…you know, you missed that.
But you know, the tension is starting to mount. It’s 10:37, I haven’t finished this post, I haven’t started my outline, and I have to figure out some music to play for worship tomorrow morning at school. So I will leave you with this thought and be gone: Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn’t seem quite so funny.
Since the little itty-bitty text isn’t getting your attention, maybe this will, ABE, ANDREW, RACHEL, MOLLY, BEN, SAM, DOUG, and MATTHEW!
