I am a genius!! :)

Ok, maybe I am not a genius, but i sure feel pretty damn good right now. Let me fill you all in. so, it is 9 in the pm on Saturday. You would think I should be out partying it up, but instead I spent the day attempting to complete a mid term for my domestic violence class. Basically, this midterm included answering three questions in no more than 5 pages each with at least 5 references per question. so, it doesnt sound too bad. well, I did a bit of research on wednesday, but i had planned to do most of the research and write the paper today. Well, i wake up this morning and take care of a bunch of stuff and get started researching at about noon. to my surprise, the UTA website is down. i cannot do any research from home if the UTA website is down. Now, this makes me unhappy, so i decide to run an errand hoping that when i return, the webpage will be up and running again. well, it is not working when i get back and i recieve a phone call from mom who tells me that UTA had a big fire yesterday. So, i call the library and it seems that they are closed till monday morning due to a power outage because of the fire. so, i think i am screwed. i do not have much time on monday to write a paper because i have to work. so, i proceed to write out the answer to one of the questions because i had the journal articles to complete that one. then, michael calls and we have a super conversation which lasts quite a while. Now, it is almost 6 and i prepare some dinner for myself and watch the 6:00 Friends episode. Then, i head back to my room to figure out how to handle this paper. Well, what i ended up doing is writing the first answer with the information i had, then i wrote the second one using some online websites as references and a few journal articles from a previous paper i had done. Then, (this is the most ingenious part of this whole scheme) I used part of a paper we did for this same class earlier in the semester. The only difference in the questions was that the first paper was about a victim of domestic violence and her symptoms and the one i had to write today was about a victim of domestic violence and homicide and her symptoms. Anyway, i used most of the paper and all the articles and added a bit of information about PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from another paper i wrote for another class last semester and abracadabra (sp?) it is all done. How smart am I? I guess 6.5 years of undergraduate and graduate work does teach you a few things, especially about how to cut corners when needed. Now, let me be honest, if the UTA website was not down, i am certain i would have completed this midterm in the proper fashion and i would not have been creative enough to figure this little scheme out, but since the website was not working and i hate waiting till the last minute, i had to figure something out, right? :) Anyway, enough rambling for me. i am off to relax, the night is still young. Peace out.
