Daft Punk Ate My Homework

I was in my bed, but there was a party going on in my room so I couldn't sleep. I wanted to impress some girls, so I showed them a recent philosophy paper I had written about Daft Punk. It wasn't really about Daft Punk, but I used them in an example of a philosophical argument. I figured this would demonstrate that not only am I deep (hence, taking a philosophy class), but also that I don't take things too seriously, and also I know a lot about Daft Punk.

As I re-read the short paper, I realized that I had never edited it before I handed it in, and in fact, about two thirds of the last page was actually an excerpt from the online prompt that I had plagiarized, and it was highlighted in olive green. It was an example that involved John Locke (the philosopher) and a red Ferrari. I had also somehow managed to copy and paste an entire search-bar as well.

The last few sentences in the paper looked like this:
88834lk; j:::;;3-,,,,..
$)*(&)))):::::::::::' ''..
fd knknk]] ]]];;;;,,,, .

I realized that I probably shouldn't have tried to impress girls with that paper, and moreover, I shouldn't have submitted it in that condition, and finally, that I should have discussed Daft Punk more.
