Yeah, I really do love the papers deep down, just not when I'm I'm trying to finish and sacrificing sleep. Once I finally got the paper done, and just needed to edit it a couple of times, I felt a lot better. I definately won't continue my education... atleast right away. For one thing I'm a bit burnt out (love the subject though), and secondly in my field, it is much preferred to spend time away from school, ether in between a BA and MA, or between an MA and phd, as long as you're doing something related to Theology, which I will be.
Now the only thing I have left is my oral exams (awaiting jokes)... see other thread.
I'm totally gonna sleep like 10 hours tonight. It will be glorious!
Good luck getting your oral.
Fixed? Certainly makes it sound more fun.
Nice work JC, and good luck with anything else you've got left. I'm locked in paper mode myself; a 5-7 pager in history of Psych due Monday, and a 15 pager for Diversity due Wednesday. My weekend is not going to consist of much sleep.

Good luck man. Crunch time sucks, but just keep telling yourself that its just a week or two.
One of the more difficult transitions I had to make was learning how to do a good graduate research paper. I could write well enough in undergrad to get As, but in grad school I had to learn how to do actual research. Not just recapping other people's research, but finding some primary sources and doing my own. Its much more difficult (and fracking tedious, atleast in some areas in my field) than it sounds. Good luck!
When I'm in Chitown in January we'll celebrate your successful first grad semester and my last one.
