I Am In College

Actually I’m not idle. Everyone thinks I’m really trefnus. Organised. Well I am but I’m tired. My ceramics and jewellery is set out for assessment. With my name and course code. No one else’s is and it’s due in first day back. But we have a 2,000 word essay due in on 25th January. I hoped to start today but I didn’t. But I am tired. I got all my quotations ready. And the references. It’s just writing.

I'm not surprised you're tired, you do so much, beyond just the college coursework - all the support you give your family, for instance.

Firefall. Thank you. Is it ok to leave my essay til next week. I feel so tired. @firefall

@Zahra you have a month in hand, I'm sure it's fine to leave it to next week - 300 words a day for a week would get it done with 2 weeks to spare, even then.

Zahra · 22-25, F

You are right. I had planned 200 words a day for 10 days. How do you think the same way I do. Mathematically. @firefall

@Zahra I thought that was how everyone approached it, when I was in school. Kind of a surprise to find out, no, most people dont :)

They don’t. They leave it til the last minute. @firefall

@Zahra Yah. Sounds an alarming way to live, to me, teetering on the edge of emergency all the time

Zahra · 22-25, F

I know. They tease me because I am organised. @firefall

@Zahra you get the last laugh on that one :)
