OT: I'm bored.

Exactly why I was an engineering student. No topic sentences, no plot dissection, etc. Just procedures and data analysis. So simple! :p

And that's why I was a Creative Writing major. You are encouraged to "bullshit" your way through homework.

Who is still up, here?

Kings-Canucks game was good though I was hoping for a game seven. Kind of hard to watch any team get eliminated without any straight up hate (or if they're playing your team obviously). Dreams dashed. Kings will be even better next year though. Doughty is in my "top five guys I would want on my team" list.

Probably shouldn't be staying up tonight...going back to work tomorrow for the first time since my epic car accident (missed over two weeks).

Hope everyone is enjoying their nights and not dreading Monday too much.

Blech, Mondays. Glad I don't have to work tomorrow. I was in a pretty epic car accident myself about a year ago. Hope things are going well.

I always wrote my best papers under pressure from the clock.

This one's not due until Tuesday. I just want it done because of the other work I have to do this week. Two presentations this week, one on Wednesday, one on Thursday, two papers due next Tuesday, one 750 words, the other 2500, a lab report due next Tuesday, and a 15-page research paper due sometime during finals. I just want to get this simple, stupid work out of the way.

Been there, done that. It's what's made me the night owl I am today, 20 years later.

Yes, but did you ever enlarge 6 graphs small enough to all fit on one page, so that they each took up one page in order to 'show all the details?' That's my version of bullshitting, heh.

Heh. I have a minor in Math, so yes.

I'm a chemistry student. This paper is for econ. My school has a distribution requirement. It's a pain. But usually I write my papers in such a straight-forward fashion that it's almost like just writing a lab report or case study.

one semester i had two hours to do a 5-page paper and i barely finished in time

 

[Darkstone42]

Are you surprised that I'm getting it done early or that I have that much other work to do over the next two and a half weeks? That doesn't even include the two final examinations or the four one-page article reviews i have to do.

Shorty or Shawty? Discuss.

I don't think this is the worst I've ever had. Probably the semester when I took OChem 1, Foundations of Mathematics, Calc III and Physics I was my busiest. Besides, I'm half done with the two long papers, know the topic of the 15-page research paper and the 15-minute presentation inside and out (I actually went so far as to design my own ground-breaking research project on the premise of it), and the two exams are in pretty easy classes: intro to microeconomics and introduction to chemical analysis. It's not so much difficult as insanely time-consuming.

EDIT: In any case, it beats having a quantum physics and physical chemistry exam on the same day. That's how I ended last semester.

What did you find the most challenging, Calculus II or III?

You're way ahead of me then. I did a 12-pager the night before it was due. The hilarious part is that my prof loved it and submitted it for a scholarship...I won $2,800 towards my next semester for it being the best English paper written that year. Ridiculous, but some people just work better under pressure. I had to do a 'time management' workshop with some students this past semester, and I had to tell that them that some people do indeed do better sweating it out at the deadline. That's just the way it is.

I honestly think that's not a bad workload at all (writing wise). I had to do a 60-page paper sophomore year. I tell my students about that when they are bitching about four page papers. They can't believe it.
