So today, something funny happened. I also think it is ironic that in this case, starting off with that would seem like an excuse in the context, as this thing which happened caused me to be unable to do my homework. (Imagining a conversation as "Well why didn't you do your homework?" "It's a funny story...") But in this case the story is actually funny, at least to me.

So I had just finished reading my daily pages in the Scarlet Letter, when I closed my eyes for a moment and accidentally slept for an hour. When I woke up, it took me twenty minutes to start thinking clearly (meaning not in the dazed way in which someone who suddenly wakes up but is still tired thinks). So, of course, I could not start my homework, which of course would take longer than the ten minutes that I had left before I had to go to bed.

I will be fine, this homework isn't due until the 5th, but I was supposed to work on it, because our teacher has been warning us against procrastination. I will definitely need to start working hard tomorrow, though. The problem is that at the same time, our teacher has assigned us two other things, one being to read the Scarlet Letter by the 12th, and the other being the same sort of assignment as the one which I suppose I am currently procrastinating: a précis, where one analyzes an article, finds and asks questions, and writes a summary.

And then, of course, I have my other classes on top of that. But the only homework I really get is in French.

Kind of still tired, so I'm going to bed. Goodnight
