Something I call an MLIA/FML moment....

So today in AP Lang, we were reading the passages in the "entering the conversation" in our book and summarizing them. I'm reading them, being productive and actually working on the assignment we're supposed to. Meanwhile other people are talking about some of the selections or just things that aren't related to AP Lang at all. I here something about a passage concerning 24 and Law&Order and start to think, "Have I read that yet? Guess not." Then finally, I come to the sixth and final conversation passage.
Thinking that there was only 5, I turn to Abby and say, "What!? There's six! Dang it! I thought there were only five"
She responds, "What? No, there's only five."
"...What page are you on?"
"760, what page are you on?"
"...880."
So, I had been reading the wrong series of passages for the last hour of class. It made a lot more sense, seeing as how I had been reading the passages in the Nature section of our book when I was supposed to be reading the Popular Culture section....no wonder all the passages I was reading about dealt with global warming instead of the media.
