On Speaking Too Soon

Aka Counting Chickens Before They're Hatched, Putting the Cart Before the Horse, etc.

So, I'm being compulsive and wrote a just-making-sure-we're-on-the-same-page email to my writing teacher to which she replies, "No, I didn't mean you were finished..."

It turns out I need to write ANOTHER short story for that large percentage of my grade in the class!

On the one hand, I'm so glad I checked!

On the other hand, my blood pressure is rising even as I type. I hardly have time to complete the journal and five assignments due in my other class by the end of the semester! Much less a whole, separate short story for a chunk of my grade (=must be wonderful!)
