It's not so bad for me this year. Save for an easy test, I'm done in one class already. I've got eight of my ten pages written for my Theatre final project. I can write a two-page magazine article about anything I want, so that's no problem. All that leaves is a five-page book report, and that almost writes itself.

Always look on the bright side of life (to quote Monty Python!)....at least you'll have a nice break afterwards and....my guess is that, like most people, when you are assigned a term paper to write for a class, you put it off until the night before and write it in 2-4 hours. So, the Criminology test paper written under the gun (ha! pun intended!) shouldn't be a problem.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!

Got a call from London early this morning (for us). Our daughter always has much anxiety over paper writing and this semester is no exception. She's fine once she gets started, just seemingly has to get close to the brink before that can happen.

I remember those days none too fondly.

Reporting class is a breeze and I haven't studied for my mass comm final, but who really cares, right?
6 pages? How did you get away with a 6 pager?

I remember in undergrad we usually had 10 page papers.

lol! My introduction to my 25 page research paper is 2.5 pages.
It's Webster. With any luck, it'll be one of my last research papers ever. I haven't written one since high school.

To graduate you have to write either a 30-100 page paper or do an internship. Since I'm majoring in PR, I'll have do the internship. I'm so happy about that.

I love writing papers and taking tests, so this is actually good times for me.

I should explain that I don't love tests and papers in a vacuum. I just like them relative to listening to lectures or group projects.

I pulled a 3 hour sleep nighter last night for my Bus. Law I Final, pretty sure I Aced it.

I am almost 100% sure I will not sleep tonight; I have an 8am Bus. Statistics Final tomorrow worth 30% of my grade and a 2pm Microeconomics Final worth 40% which will get over at 4pm. I am then being kicked out of my residence building by SLU at 8pm until Jan 13th, and will have to drive back home for two hours. I have a whole lot of crap that needs to packed-up and the dormpartment needs to be cleaned. On top of that, my car will have to be cleaned off, and jumped, since someone failed to close the passenger door of my car all the way. God help me.

30-100 pages to graduate for an undergraduate degree?

This break before break is ridiculous.

Two of my classes only had final papers, which were turned in last week. The professor decided in one of my classes to hold the final a week during dead week (which was fine with me).

That left me with one class and one final, which isn't until Thursday. I haven't been at school since last Thursday because I have no classes on Fridays. I've had a week off from school, then I get to drive up to take a final which will take me 15 minutes (I am a fast test-taker), then finally officially begin my break.

I'm not really sure this is worth COMPLAINING about. Anytime you have a break from school its a good thing.
