Serious asset kicking, last-minute-kung-fu style

Well folks, the numbers are in, and the prettiest girl and I both kicked some serious assets on our off-the-cuff POST 300 paper. SERIOUS....ASSETS. Who knew thinking for three weeks and then writing like mad for four hours could make a ten page paper an A? Well now we do.
The key, though, is reading the situation with caution. Some TAs and professors actually give two shits about grammar, punctuation and clarity - which I most certainly ignored in the aforementioned paper - and others, quite frankly, do not. One must read one's fearless leaders very carefully in order to establish this. Unfortunately, neither the prettiest girl nor myself understood our CUST 265 TA to be of the prior sort. I, for one, assumed she was a self-conscious but relatively relaxed and groovy cat. Of course, NOW we learn she studied English at Queen's University - only the most anally restrictive and nose-raising university north of the 49th parallel and this side of the Atlantic. *sigh* If only we had known.
And now, the wait for my OSAP cheque to clear continues. I've been feeling like partying as though I actually HAVE this money for weeks now, with no ACTUAL money. Ah well.
Anyway, that's the word for now. All this rambling. Jeez. One would think I actually have something to say...Well. Maybe. Maybe one day.
