Biscotti solves everything

theyellowhobbitI was in the museum working on my midterm for Ben's class, which I realized I was nowhere near finishing, since it's such a slow question to work on and there's so much detail to sift through.Argh, I say to myself. Since it's due at 3:30 PM, and I have class from 1:00PM on.
Fortunately, Ben has office hours between 12:30 and 1:30. So I stopped by at 12:30, and he wasn't around, so I decided that I wanted to see what the roof looked like [there's a chain after the 5th floor on the staircase that has a sign hanging from it, saying "not an exit" or something like that]. So I ducked under the chain and went up, but I decided not to go out since I heard voices. One was male.
So I duck under the chain and start to head down, and lo and behold, Ben Porter is on the staircase. So I get to talk to him. Yay!
And I ask him how much he wants us to write, and he tells me what I was planning was way more than necessary [I had only taken notes up until now...] And everything is all clear and happy. Then I tell him that I have class from 1:00 until his class, though I could skip into to archaeology or primate behavior if he wanted me to finish the midterm now. Of course he wouldn't want me to do that, so I get a shiny extension.
And I give him a shiny mishloach manot of biscotti and marzipan ["How did you get Marzipan?!" he asked. By my Hobbity powers, also known as my parents.] All is well.
I have until wednesday night/thursday morning, which means a long tomorrow and wednesday. The question isn't even hard, just long!
