Today I went jogging before class. I was running late after jogging, so I had to run to my class to make it on time. I also learned a bit of a painful lesson. Last week, I had a paper due. I put a lot of thought and effort into it. A bit too much perhaps, my paper was six pages instead of the assigned three.
The issue area my paper was on just had more that needed to be covered. I got the essay back today and received a grade of A-. Not bad, but a bit disappointing that the only thing wrong with my paper was that it was "way too long". All that extra work not only didn't pay off, it actually hurt my grade. I would have gotten a better grade if I threw together a three page paper. Lesson learned.
