This week’s WSW actually comes from last semester — according to the instant message log on my computer, our lovely Laura and I had this conversation on October 27, 2007.  I’ve changed our IM names to protect the procrastinators our innocence, but the rest of the conversation is exactly how it appeared that fateful day…

LauraLOVE1: how ’bout i have been staring at the same page of my paper for 3 hours… and i’m not getting anywhere…

ABstars7 is currently away: “at the library.” 

ABstars7: i’m here.  how about i’m actually on myspace. 

LauraLOVE1: i’m on facebook.

ABstars7: we are pathetic.

LauraLOVE1: amen.

ABstars7: how did the let us into college?

LauraLOVE1: i really don’t know cause i am the worst student ever

LauraLOVE1: this paper is like four days late… ahahahahahahahahahaha

ABstars7: yeah, mine is like a couple of days cough weeks late.

ABstars7: and i haven’t even written the first word.

LauraLOVE1: um, yea.  i haven’t finished reading the article that my paper is on but i have watched three movies since yesterday.  i have a problem.

Well said, my young-academic-genius-who-has-her-priorities-in-order.  Well said.
