I'm A Dummy

You know what feels awkward? Walking into a classroom and seeing that everyone except you has a completed assignment that you knew nothing about. To make matters worse, it happened in RWA, my favorite class and one in which I have a reputation as a diligent student. It might have been wise to make apologies or excuses to the professor after class, but that's a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation: do I really want to make the case that I was the only student in the class too stupid to find the assignment the professor posted online? As is my habit, I kept my mouth shut and let the professor draw her own conclusions about why I wasn't prepared.
