I Need SLEEP
*stumbles into LJ*
*blinks*
I've been awake for 24 hours. (I don't count the hour I lay in bed mostly-awake and the 45 minutes I spent making my arms lose sensation on that desk in Butler Library as "sleep"). I still haven't finished my Classical Myth paper, but that's okay, because I sent my prof (the amazing one, the one who has that theory that I SPN-geeked about) a desperate email at 6 this morning begging (coherently and sedately) for an extension.
I can see you don't believe me that I was both coherent and sedate. I have therefore included the text of the email. Keep in mind that I composed this remarkable appeal at six. This morning. I'm amazed at myself...
Dear Professors,
I am writing to request an extension on my paper deadline, if possible. I would never have asked, except that my roommate got me sick right before the weekend, which greatly hampered my ability to write the three papers I have due today. I remained optimistic that I could finish the paper adequately, but I have now been awake for 20 hours straight, in addition to being sick, and I'm unhappy enough with my paper's progress to be writing this email. Even a day's reprieve would be an enormous boon.
If an extension is not possible, please let me know what your late work policy is so I can weigh the pros and cons of turning in the paper late. I will of course keep working unchanged until I hear from you. Thanks,
Lindsey [edit last name]
Why am I doing this instead of sleeping? Lord knows. Anyway, she wrote back saying no penalty if I have it in before the 3rd. I have to see her after class, which is at 2:40. The paper I did finish, for my seminar, was awesome. I'm proud of it (well, except the conclusion. It's...un-spectacular), which is exciting for me, because I haven't been proud of anything else I've written this semester. Some of it I've been actively ashamed to have written. So the fact that I wrote that one paper well made me totally okay with not having finished the CM paper, and now it's just the cherry that I won't be penalized for it. Although I'm going to feel completely intimidated talking to my incredibly erudite little professor.
Why am I still typing?
Do I regret spending a dozen hours hanging out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maribou413 Saturday night and rewatching the first 7 episodes of SPN instead of working? Not a chance. :) And next weekend, we add alcohol to the mix. Woo-hoo!
Seriously. I'm going to stop typing...now.

Nice email! Er, did you mean to write Professors, plural? Good luck with Professor Awesome. She sounds like she'll be cool about it, though.
no subject
Yes, I did mean to use the plural, because there are two professors who teach the class and I addressed the email to both of them.

I hope you got some rest.
