Macbeth
“You wanted it–” she mumbled to herself as she uploaded her essay, “–so here you have it”. As she relaxed her shoulders, which she had not realized had been all tensed up, she felt the same sense of accomplishment and peace she always did when she saw the pop-up message on her screen. “Your assignment has been uploaded” it said.

But life didn’t work that way. If it wasn’t for her teacher, she would probably have ended up writing possibility B and doing a half-asses job analyzing a scene in Macbeth, having googled most of the points she made.

They had already received their grades and this assignment was probably only to spend some of the insane amounts of the so-called “pupil-hours” they had this year, but there was just something that made her feel she was letting everyone
