Philosophy Fail

Today I arrived on campus a little more than a half an hour early with the intention of whipping out an essay for my first class, Philosophy.  Upon checking my syllabus (which I had neglected to do anytime in the 6 days between the last class and today) I find that the title of the next essay is on epistemology, or the study of knowledge
WHICH ISN'T DUE TODAY BUT NEXT WEEK. GLORY, OH GOD I AM SAVED.

So what are we doing today?  Ohai First Exam Out Of Three.  Cool.  No Essay.  So what do I do?

Interwebz! Facebook! Email! Taxes(?)!

And then it's time for class and I sit down and look at the paper and realize that
oh crap. Not only did I not check my syllabus within that 6 day period, I also didn't check my notes.  EVER.

DO I REMEMBER ANYTHING!?

NO.

So what do I do?  I wallow in self-pity for the inevitable failure that my foolishness has brought upon me. and I do the damn exam all the while thinking "Weltenschauug?  I wrote that in my notes. I know I did. First day of class.  BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?"  I don't remember. Maybe I should have checked my notes.


Therefore we find that in the 30 extra minutes you have before a class in which you will be doing an exam
that

STUDYING:  Correct
THE INTERNET : NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA HUH!?
