Still Working

"What?" you say. "You're still working on your paper? Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?"

"But wait!" I respond. "I AM in class right now."

"Then clearly you must have finished your paper last night," you reply.

"Not so!" I aver. "I might have, had I started it sooner and not fallen asleep in the middle of writing."

"Tsk, tsk," you chide.

I plan to finish the whole thing off between this class and next. I hope this doesn't become a pattern.
