Submitting the First Assignment

You come home from a tiring day, and find the refrigerator full of frozen chicken and beef, for there is a roommate with whom you share the apartment, and of course the refrigerator! Search for something vegetarian, and there's nothing except pulses which will take about 30 minutes of labour to cook.

You're very tired, but very-very hungry, so you will cook. And you will eat like an Ape from the pre-evolutionary era. And after the cooking-eating ordeal you just want to jump in to your bed when you realize that there is a crucial assignment - your first one- which must be submitted the next morning. So you HAVE to do it.

But wait, you can't just open up the task-sheet and write answers to the questions. You need to read the entire material first - which is like 20 pages of lecture notes and 100 pages of some xeroxed text-book. After more than 3 hours, you're yawning each breath. Forget about answering questions, you can barely read!

You decide to wake up early the next morning ( 5 'o clock ) and complete the work. So, at the opportune moment, you battle all desires of slumber with the strength that the professor's nightmare provided you. And if you're me, you will see the clock to realize that it's 7 already. Get, set, go! You scribble, then think, then cut, then scribble, and repeat, and calaculate, then manipulate, and keep repeating until you realize it's 9:10: a good 10 minutes since the class would have begun in your department building! So you skip the brush, and sprint to your class in nightclothes.

The professor stares, and then smiles. And just before you complete a breath and reciprocate his smile, he takes the paper from your hand and puts it in the assignment file.

Perhaps, he understands...
