Title: Writing your end of the semester thesis paper in one night...
Post by: Colin Michael on April 16, 2009, 09:31:12 PM
Is not advised. (Thank God it's five to seven pages).

This could very well go in prayer requests. My reasoning for severe procrastination? I went the whole week without my medicine which left me completely unfocused (though I did manage to gather a massive amount of sources in that time). Now that I have it, the paper is coming together incredibly fast; wish me Godspeed.

How's everyone else's end of the semester work coming?

Thankfully, as freshman in high school, we don't have to worry about such things (yet).

I have to write a 10-page paper and read about a dozen books, but I have some time to do it in.  I just need to try not to procrastinate like I always do.

I spent over 20 hours between Monday at 9 am and Wed at 8 am putting together my group's marketing plan for a textile manufacturer.  I pulled back-to-back all nighters in that time span  We had a 40 minute presentation to our client tonight, which went really well!

I have so much more to do in the next 3 weeks... 7-10 page paper, 5-7 page paper, 10 page advertising plan with presentation, finalized marketing plan with 20+ pages single-spaced and final presentation to over 100 people including the company's Board of Directors, over 15 hours of spreadsheets to make, weekend long trip along the Trail of Tears next weekend from 7 am Fri to 10:30 pm Sun, and the list goes on amidst final exams.

Trust me, I feel the busyness like the rest of you!  Trust in Christ!

I have a blessing that two of my classes are similar enough that I was able to combine the term paper from both into the same term paper.  I have to make it longer than what either would have been but I still make out like a bandit in my opinion.  However, I have a 10 pager and a 5 pager in addition to the 8 pager that I'm doing for the two classes.  Tis college.

First rule of college:

If you have a paper due, your parents will decide that it's time to reconfigure the entire home network except for the printer. Printers always fail at the perfect time, it seems.

I definitely feel you.

By April 28th, I have: (by class)

Public Relations Writing:
an Op-Ed piece (Opinion Editorial) (Due Monday)
a take home exam (Due next friday)
a presentation about grammar for the undergrads (Doing next Friday)
a response to a complaint letter (Also due next friday)
and a final, which consists of writing a news release in 40 mins, a response to a complaint in 20, and 50 grammar questions. (doing on the 28th)

Media Effects:
a final (Monday night)
A huge project I've been working on with a partner for about a month and a half. It contains a professional brochure, a 10-15 page paper, and a 15 minute presentation

Research class:
Group project making an exit survey for graduate students, extra credit. (This class has plagued me with boredom all semester. I have learned nothing.)

You ever have those moments when you're running downhill, and as you're running, you're trying not to fall? That's similar to how I feel lol.

I also feel the strain of college, but not to the extent of most of you. As I type right now I'm meeting up with a friend to study some good ol college algebra. The class has been surprisingly easy unlike my lit class. :-\ I'm on the quarter system at my college so I don't have finals until like the end of May/first of June.

I also am on quarters so we're just 2 weeks into the spring quarter. I've put off papers/projects until the last minute for each of the 5 quarters I've been in college so far and I agree that printers = fail when papers = due.

If you younguns spent your time learning how to properly illuminate your hand written assignments, the teachers would accept them as works of art. The traditional skills of selecting a quill, properly sharpening its nub, and creating ink out of black berries and charcoal, has been lost since the time STAMP and I went to school.

Here's how I used to styart my last name
