Well today I was the butt end of a very cruel joke. Felt like sharing this with you all tonight.
Some students at my school thought it would be the cat's meow to go and give my number to my history teacher, who would then proceed to tell me that all my homework due Friday would now be due Thursday because I was going to be absent on Friday.
I'll give you some background real quick. The college here is doing a huge day-long tour of the campus. You can talk with the students, see what the campus is like, check out the housing, and get info in areas where you are most interested in majoring. This college is the most real possibility for me at the moment; my friends are all going, it's extremely affordable, the campus is nice. A whole shebacle of useful things. I really wanted to go the campus at the end of the week to seal the deal and know for sure if this is where I wanted to go. But is it really worth missing school for? Not really. Is it necessary? Yes.
Back to the story. So I was told at 6:30pm that my homework is due tomorrow (Thursday) rather than Friday or whenever I get back. Well that's just fudgemuffin wonderful. So I spend the next hour working on some pretty boring questions that I have to do, and messaging the rest of the people in my group about helping me out so I don't fail this class (I already have a low B, I do not need another C).
Well someone on facebook immediately fessed up to what happened and let me know. At this point, I was pretty furious. I'd already gotten half the work done and now I am being told that I had wasted my time. I worked a little more, waiting for a response from the other person who I was told was also involved in this. That took another hour.
When this other person finally got back to me, she acted innocent, like nothing happened. She advised me to not do my homework, which was already mostly done, and that something strange was happening.
How about you tell me something I don't know.
So I went along with it, wanting to see how long they were gonna try to play this game. At this point, I was frustrated beyond belief. I had wasted half my night and most of my free time freaking out about this stupid homework, while also looking forward to the large stack of homework I had despite this stupid Government stuff. A pile of English reading, a blog post (oh look how nifty), and the ever increasing pile of work I have to do for Journalism. I went out and I took a nice thirty minute run to wherever the end of the street took me and back. She finally called me up and told me it was a joke.
How about you tell me something I don't know.
So now here I am, nine o' clock at night working my ascot off to get my English and Journalism homework done. I may not even get any sleep tonight, seeing how I think this will all be done by two. Might as well just stay up the next three hours filling out scholarships cause my mom won't stop pestering me about THAT.
Here's the point of this post.
Good prank. You're fricken hilarious. I really appreciate you adding to the mountain of stress which I already have to climb. So I appreciate you making that challenge a little harder.
What goes around comes around.
