trials and tribulations of the absent minded

Today, I organized my study location around the 1030 am due date for a book I got off reserve last night. I packed my backpack with the things I would need to continue working on my paper and headed out to the library. Upon arriving there, I discovered that I had forgotten the book at home. But once in the library, ready to work, what's the point of wasting time to go home only to return again? (It's 20 minutes each way.) The opportunity cost of staying here to study is $1/hour, since that's what I'm being charged in late fees.

Hopefully, I'll finish my paper by this afternoon and have time to make the 40 minute trek to SAIS and back again so I can drop off the late book.
