But it was minor. I mean, how bad can a grammatically incorrect sentence highlighted in green be right? Right. Good morning!
How the heck did I miss out the neon green highlight when I scrolled through....multiple times?
So yes. Above timeline is NOT a continuous account of my activities, but a random account (i.e. whenever I remembered that I was keeping this list, I'd just jot down whatever I happened to be doing at that time). My productivity on Saturday was BAUS-like but on Sunday it seemed like all I wanted to do was listen to Led Zeppelin and AC/DC and Glee and Baby (yes, the Bieber Baby) and hop around the internet.
**************
Two interesting points...Uno
Did you know that in zen mode, you get a 'Perfectionist Award' for restarting the fruit ninja game several times in a row because you missed a fruit? I was killing time, like one does when a paper is due, by trying to slice EVERY SINGLE FRUIT and I restarted like 3-4 times in a row then...voila! Perfectionist award.
(bonus interesting fact: this happened in the toilet. yup. baus.)
Here is a link to a student guide on writing a term paper in one night: http://studenthacks.org/2007/10/30/term-papers/
