Two students from Professor Hallengren’s English composition class sat in the cafeteria discussing the approaching deadline for their fourth essay.
“There’s no way I can get this essay done on time,” Tracy said. “I’ve turned in every essay late,
and I still owe him a rewrite on the second one. Professor Hallengren is going to be furious!”
“You think you’re in trouble!” Ricardo said. “I haven’t even turned in the last essay. Now I’m
going to be two essays behind.”
“How come?” Tracy asked. “I would have thought a young guy right out of high school would
have all the time in the world.”
“Don’t ask me where my time goes,” Ricardo answered, shrugging. “Deadlines keep sneaking up
on me, and before I know it, I’m weeks behind. I live on campus, and I don’t even have to commute. But something always comes up. Last weekend I was going to write that other essay and study for my sociology test, but I had to go to a wedding out of state on Saturday. I was having such a good time, I didn’t drive back until Monday morning. Now I’m even further behind.”
