there are times I want to beat my head on a wall for doing something stupid
this is one of those times
had a book review assignment with the guidelines listed in the syllabus
looked through the syllabus at the start of the semester
completed the assignment Sunday
amazingly forgot that exceeding the word count negates the submission entirely
because in four years of college I've never had that be a consequence for messing something up in regards to assignment requirements
so unless my professor has some mercy, I'm screwed, and the review I submitted was a massive waste of time
