Generally, if you can't remember what the activity you are doing is called, it's sort of unlikely to be sucessful. Which is really unfortunate given the amount of work that needs to be done by tomorrow.

I hope the photo shoot doesn't cause any future drama for you.

...There can be reasons for not getting work done that have nothing to do with slacking...

One person's mom was just admitted to the hospital because her breast cancer came back. I feel for this girl and think every allowance in the world should be made for her. Things like this, or even the girl who just couldn't get a model until yesterday, I understand. But the rest of them don't have valid reasons, and they all get this reward anyway. I know these people, and have other classes with them, and have classes with their friends - and we talk. Half of my classmates have admitted that they just don't care about this class, or something of the sort. I don't think I've seen but maybe 3 people consistently show up to class - more than half the class has been to less than half the classes. I would seriously understand an extension if the extension weren't made because people just didn't show up to class or to the open studio hours. This isn't even the first time this has happened, but at least last time he gave an extension, it was only two days, and the crit was moved to a day we have class anyway. I feel like I've wasted time and effort by actually showing up to class and getting my work done on time.
I'm not mad at or attacking or complaining about those that have valid reasons for not being able to complete the workload by the original deadline. It's the fact that the majority of my classmates definitely could have made the deadline, they just chose to not, and some even openly admit that they just don't care enough to push themselves that little bit (because photo isn't their major); and yet my professor gives them an advantage that I don't get, because I was nearly finished (and stressed to the max trying to get it done) by the time he announced the change in the crit date.
And it's not like I'm a horrible person and the only one upset about this. The other person that got the work done is pissed right along with me, as is the girl that will be done by tomorrow afternoon and only couldn't get done because of her model issues. The graduate assistant (who happens to be older than my professor, and actually has been here longer and so kinda has more sway in some areas than he does) has been pissed about this kinda thing since the beginning of the year, when kids stopped showing up to class and he made the first crit extension.

Complaint: My car wouldn't start this morning, so I couldn't make it to work. I'm pretty sure I left the lights on for the first time ever. >< I need to now go walk a mile to mail a check and turn in a forum for scholarship money.

And I have another complaint: I'm working my butt off and my apartment echoes with the sounds of the dudes next door banging on their Rock Band drums, and singing their Rock Band songs. Badly. If they're going to play that loud, at the very least, they could invite me to play!

"Well kids, I guess your father isn't a hermaphrodite."

A woman at my work complains about her job too, and I'm a supervisor there. I'm almost tempted to say;
"You know that? Your wish is granted -- you can go home and never EVER come back!"

They give me a tiny sliver of hope then RIP IT AWAY.
