I hate to keep begging for prayers like this, but I need them now more than ever. I've got major piles of work to get through before Monday and I'm starting to really panic about my ability to get it all done.
I can buy a reprieve if I ask one of my professors for a favor. Unfortunately, last week I did something really stupid that backed up a bit of his already-heavy workload, and he might be kind of ticked at me. I haven't been able to talk to him since, so I don't know for sure. I feel awful for having done it (it was an accident) but I'm not sure whether I should plead for forgiveness, or hope he didn't think too much of it, since I'm the one who'll suffer the most from it.
If I ask him for the favor and he grants it, it will be a huge boon to me and it will lighten his work load a little bit as well, undoing the damage of the gaffe I made and then some. But I'm worried that he'll say no because he might think that granting it would reward me for being "irresponsible". I would argue with that label, but I know I have earned enough of it that he may be less willing to grant such a favor.
And so I covet the prayers of any of you who may be willing to pray for the poor, ignorant fool Matrona.
I've got to get out of here and get back to work, but I will pray for all of you and especially for those praying for me.
