An entry in the afternoon?

Must be assignment season.

So last night I was talking to a friend of mine when she mentioned that the latest SER D assignment was taking up too much of her time.

"No problems," I said, "we still have plenty of time before it’s due, haha I haven't even touched it yet."

Silence.

"You do realise its due on Monday right?"

"What? Isn't it due on the 25th?"

"Nope. Monday."

So what have we learnt? Well there's something to be said about forward planning and organising one's time. Also something about knowing when assessments are due. But more importantly, I've learnt that there is a big difference between the number 2 and the number 1. 25 does not equal 15. And that space of 10 days can mean a lot.

See, that’s not cool. It’s not even remotely cool. In fact is warm. Needless to say, I've done a bit, but not a lot, of this stupid assignment. And while assignments are generally stupid, the level of stupidity and overall sense of waste that this assignment emits is enough to make your standard assignment seem entertaining and heaven forbid, educational in comparison.

Oh well. Got work later, and a replacement 3 hour lecture tomorrow morning. Work on Saturday, pictionary at a Fi's place followed by a possible guest appearance at Boulevard on Saturday night (Friday has become the new Saturday, so I've been told), and work again on Sunday means that my Friday night will yet again morph into a night of homebound assignment hi-jinks.

But on a brighter note, my iPod has yet to arrive.

I really should get off this thing and get into my research. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. But an even better plan would be to watch an episode of Firefly on DVD. Yes, that sounds even better.
