Scenario: hard deadline for a paper submission, enforced by a cold unfeeling electronic door, 15.45, Jan 31st. Submission is final action required for passing a 6 credit course. 6 credits is many.
Our
Final 40 exciting minutes spent thus:
*sprint to taxi stand ......................................... 3 minutes
*wait for taxi ..................................................... 5 minutes
*tense taxi ride, snowy roads, traffic............. 30 minutes
*toss taxi driver wallet, franticly .................. >1 minute
*sprint to cold unfeeling electronic door ....... >1 minute
By this stage it's all up in the air. I'm terrified to pull the door handle, but I do... and it gives. I love you, cold unfeeling electronic door.
I say it every time, but *never* again.

That's pretty funny Dave, I seem to remember you staying up all night to hand in our database design project to Vinny Wade, nice to know some things don't change :)
Hehe, yeah - sad but true. I've already printed out some exercise work for one of my next classes, not due till mid-march. I plan to do it this weekend just to proove to myself there's another way!
It's good to know that things don't change. Why the move?
Have you done that exercise yet btw?
Well done mate. Way to show your slacker cred
@Annie - the move of apartment? Or some other move?
@Rob Hopefully this'll work out so I get slacker cred, and actual credits, fingers crossed.
Oh, I meant the move of the blog...
