Burning My Travels Clean

It may a tad bit early to postulate any conclusions, but perhaps I am turning over a new leaf. Earlier today I had my bio lab and if you didn't already know labs, inherently so, come with post lab write-ups. These assignments, literally the direct offspring of satan, are the most painfully, painful, pain inducing pain causers imaginable. Yes, even more so than slamming your finger in a door and waiting for it to turn all black and gooey and disgusting and eventually fall off and/or getting hit by a horse and buggy. Anyways, these write-ups are turned in at the beginning of your next lab session the following week in all its magnificent, sweat and tear drenched glory complete with its miserable, godforsaken tables, and graphs, and charts and paragraphs written in the driest scientific language imaginable. Anyways, the point here is that if my lab is on Tuesday then the post lab from last weeks experiment is in turn due that day. All this of course means that my post lab was generally done the Monday before, and Monday night at that . . . late Monday night . . . perhaps even Tuesday morning. This is where the all important caveat comes into play; if you remember way back from all of a few sentences ago, I turned over a new leaf, and if you have even the faintest problem solving inclinations, you have probably deduced that I've done my post lab well before Monday night, but then again, knowing me, I doubt you would ever guess that my post lab is already done, tonight! Oh yes friends, not only did I do it early, I essentially did it as early as you can do it, tossing aside any self inhibitions I may have had concerning my work ethic. I suppose the natural question, like it is more times than not, is why? Earlier in the day I was accused of far to often succumbing to the path of least resistance. My response . . . of course I do! If you think about it, water, the fundamental substance of life takes the path of least resistance doesn't it? (yes it does). So why would I want to deny such an innate, natural property of the world? I don't! So that whole spiel about being accused of being lazy, yeah, I didn't really care about that.
