My prof’s list of unacceptable excuses for handing in assignments late

1. I forgot
2. My computer broke
3. My dog ate my work
4. I had too much other work to do
5. I thought I sent it in/posted, but I actually didn’t (or my email didn’t work)
6. I had to work that day and couldn’t post/email in time
7. I ran out of printer paper
8. I ran out of ink
9. I sent it to the wrong email address
10. I thought it was due on a different day
11. I didn’t know we had to do this
12.  My internet isn’t working
13.  My internet cut out
14.  I had menstrual cramps
15. The power in my house went out
16. It was my birthday, so I went out partying, got hammered, and was too hung-over to get out of bed to complete the assignment the following day
17. I had better things to do.
18. I didn’t do it because I didn’t want to add to my teacher’s heavy workload.
19. I accidentally divided by zero and my paper burst into flames.
20. I hired a paper writing company and they did it in Chinese.
21. I made a paper plane out of it and it got hijacked.
22. My Dad accidentally put it in his briefcase and took it to work.
23. I left it in my shirt and my mother put the shirt in the wash.
24. A sudden wind blew it out of my hand and I never saw it again.
25. It was in my back pocket and a pickpocket stole it.
26. Another student fell in a lake, and I jumped in to rescue him but unfortunately my homework drowned.

I want to do well, I want to be able to succeed but it looks so distant. I’ve lost my drive for school and in less than 24 hours I have to do a presentation with 10% of my grade and a paper draft that will be worth 25%. I haven’t even started on the 5 page paper yet. Now I’m here on tumblr and listening to music as a guilty outlet. Cool story of the night.
