College Chronicles: Feb. 17-18, 2008


February 18, 2008 | Tags: none

As y'all may or may not know, I'm a (super) senior at Michigan State University (shout out to Mo Ager, what's good with Jersey?!), and senioritis has been setting in heavy. I haven't been committing the time that I should to ENG 230: Intro to Film. I've been skipping class for no reason, and I've been falling asleep when I am in there. Granted, he doesn't let us use laptops in class, which makes for tough note-taking (I've got an ultraportable, so I take this joint everywhere), but I still don't put forth the time and effort that a college class in a course that I'm not well-versed in would require.

But I have a paper due in that class today (Monday), at 12:40. I went all week/weekend without starting on it - without reading the assignment more than once, without watching the movie, without choosing a topic for the paper. Was too busy preparing for and doing my radio show, interviewing hip-hop legends, puttin' my niggas on, chillin' with my niggas from out of town, spittin' easy game to this chick, dropping the ball on another, and other miscellaneous bullshit. I'm terrified, but I'm so overwhelmed that I just don't know where to start or what to do.

So I Google the movie. My mans had given me links to stream it, but they were taking too long to work, so I bought it through this site zml.com for $5; I cop it via text message, they give me a verification code, and I download it from the site. I watch the movie. Call my homegirl and ask her to call me in an hour to wake me up (it's 3 AM at this point). Surprisingly, despite her usual unwarranted hating, shorty comes through! Unfortunately, she calls me about 10 min. before I was gonna wake up, so I go back to sleep; wake up at 5:15.

What do I do? Read the assignment, pick a scene to analyze, and knock that bitch out. Granted, I didn't use all of the film terms that we've learned in class, but I definitely murk the assignment by analyzing the shot the way I was supposed to; at least a 2.5, if not a 3.0. What's ill is that I finished the paper at 7:37 or so - two hours after I started, and with time to go to all of my other classes!

Fast forward to 2:25.

 

$5 + Less than three hours of typing = Nothing to a boss.
