At a Loss

So I got this assignment in English. I'm supposed to write a story using words provided by everyone in the group. I talked about this in another post. I'm finding I'm having a really hard time with this. The words are so random that its hard to lace them together. One of my classmates did a really good story on working in a call center and how stupid people can be. I could do that about AutoZone but I don't know if I want to do a story that is that similar to hers. But This assignment is due tonight and I don't want to be out all night trying to come up with something. I need to do the brakes on my car and check the power steering before a trip tomorrow and I'm rapidly losing daylight. I think I'm going to take a break and come back to this before it ticks me off even more. It may not be so bad if I knew if the assignments were still worth doing or not since I will probably get a zero for that essay I turned in 12 hours late. Ugh this sucks!
