Too late for lunch. Too early for dinner.
The assignment is due tomorrow—
perhaps it’s finally time to get started.
But first a short nap. 5:00. Alarm goes off;
you hit the snooze alarm till 5:30. Then
dinner. The usual meatloaf. 6:30. TV till
7:30. Okay, now it’s time to start. Where’s
the assignment? What was the topic?
Nixon? Nietzsche? 8:27. Topic found:
Nationalism. 11:15. When does the library
close? Too late, the loan desk closed at
11:00. Is there a plan? Is there hope?
How will you get it all done?
The big paper about
ideas, college, and Macintosh.
