Extra credit DOH!

The instructor has given us our first optional extra credit assignment in my Environment Science class. Basically, you decide on something that you can do over the course of the term that can make an impact on reducing your ecological footprint, keep a journal on it, and then write a 2-3 page paper on it. I decided that I would stop driving to school so much and either walk or take the bus and maybe stay at school during a 2-1/2 hour break between classes, which should cut at least two trips a week. That shouldn't be too hard. I had planned to start this today. I got to school a little bit early this morning, about 1/2 hour before class started. I looked in my backpack for my econ binder so I could go over some test review stuff before class. Where is my binder? I grabbed the wrong one this morning! Crap! I need it! It has my homework and two article reviews in it that I was going to hand in today. So much for fewer trips today. I had just enough time to drive home, exchange binders, and get back to class with about 3 minutes to spare. This "project" has gotten off to a bad start. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
