I'll join in. Upper division term paper due tomorrow @5pm. Started 4 hours ago. First time I've procrastinated like this in a very long time. Now I know why I don't do it. This class is just way too dry. Needs to be a minimum of 3,000 words. I'm at 1300...

[Bimmerman325i]

those are the best!

Aren't they?

On the plus side I am done with the quarter whenever I turn in the exam, so it's not all bad. Brainrapey though.

[Vivek]

woooo finals. cramming like mad, then 24hr final sat-sun.

How does that work?

[Bimmerman325i]

How does that work?

take-home final. pick it up at 5pm, drop it back off 5pm the next day. 8 problems that take 1-3hrs/per.

[kronus]

Aren't they?

Yup! I had a midterm like that some time ago... Went into the library at 5pm, came out at 5am, dropped off the test and stayed in bed for the next two days in a miserable huddle of flu and depression. Algs tore my mind a new anus.

The best is the point you hit about halfway through the test, where you're calculating your cumulative class grade so far to find out how many problems you can leave halfway done and not go down a letter grade.

Happy to be done with it and in the Real World, though. Jobs are nice.

[Bimmerman325i]

Yup. Last math credit I need (assuming I pass) before I can graduate. I've got enough tea and cans of guarana-infused heart attacks that I should be good to go.

Oh man, I'm drinking a rockstar right now (I never drink energy drinks), and I'm so wired. Why do people drink these everyday?!

[Vivek]

Because they're addicted to them

Finals are crazy, I don't wanna sound insane but I've finished 10K word papers collectively in all my upper division 5 classes. That's besides the finals that are coming up. I really don't want to go back to the K-12 system and thank God I am not, wanna know why? I didn't learn shit. Been on the real world (job) but I wanted to go back to school. If I could go to school forever. meh.

[Bimmerman325i]

English, motherfucker, do you speak it?

[HerbReal]

Lol my friend is currently helping me edit parts of it and she says it's the worst shit she's ever read and that I couldn't have possibly thought it was good. All of that is basically true, but in a regular history class it's probably above average. Idk if he's going to read it, but I know that the actual paper is only worth 50% of the assignment (everything leading up to it is the other half) and I'm pretty sure he hasn't read shit so far. If you submitted something by the due date you get credit..meh.

lol, that's crazy, are you in AP classes? good luck with that though young padawan. I'm sure it will pay off easy in college. They are preparing you swell.

[Vivek]

Haha I'm actually not in any AP's this year...which is pretty fucking bad. Oh well. I'm in all upper level classes (Calculus, Physics H, english electives, etc) but none are APs.

[JinormusJ]

Hah.. AP...
Those were the good old days...
Finally free of school for 2 months
