<p>So, is anyone else having a really, really hard time studying, writing, etc?
I have: a fifteen page paper (not really research) due tuseday night; an 8 page research paper due thursday; a final on thursday; a 10 page paper due a week from tomorrow; a final a week from tomorrow. </p>

<p>The plan was to lock myself in my room all weekend and get it all done. Unfortunately the football team had to go and win and I got all caught up in that and so now it is sunday afternoon and i have absolutely nothing done. And i don't even really want to start. </p>

<p>Instead I'd rather fantasize about dropping out. Yay that'd be fun.</p>

2

<p>Guys. I'm dying.</p>

3

<p>me too... i have a group oral presentation on Tuesday and we haven't started putting it together...</p>

4

<p>I have to write 15 pages on the american jury system. I would rather die. This is slow and painful and can only be described further by using too many expletives.</p>

5

<p>what are you doing on this board? Log off and start on your paper already!</p>

6

<p>you clearly have no idea what its like to hate an assignment so much that you've been trying to will yourself to do it for 3 full days. and failed. </p>

<p>have a new plan of action. outlining right now, shall leave work early tomorrow and plow through it. fortunately, as a senior, my BS skills are pretty tightly honed and ready for action. I have no doubt I'll get an A on this paper. I just need to do it. </p>

<p>yay for new plans. </p>

<p>/and yes, i did jut refresh the page as you replied.</p>

7

<p>i have no motivation either since after thanksgiving
big shocker coming from me, not sarcastic</p>

8

<p>Yeah thanksgiving weekend just about ruined me for the rest of the quarter. Hell, I gave up the week before thanksgiving in anticipation.</p>

<p>I'm liking my new plan. It's helping me not hyperventilate.</p>

9

<p>i have a butt load of LS chapters to study but i haven't even started. ditto on the weekend and us winning. i have no where near the motivation which i started out with this quarter.</p>

10

<p>hey allie, what class are you taking that you're doing a paper on the american jury system? and are you applying to law school?</p>

11

<p>Comm 174 and HELL TO THE NO. </p>

<p>I took it because it fit into my very restrictive schedule and because I previously took a class with the same professor which was much less suicide-inducing. I highly recommend Comm 139 (speech and law- you basically assume the position of lawyer and argue a case). I do not recommend this class, although i suppose if you're into this stuff it might be ok. And it's definitely a good law school primer. So blah.</p>

12

<p>yes, i blame thanksgiving too....now all that's on my mind is winter breeeeak </p>

<p>fjldajfldkj =/</p>

13

<p>At least your lack of motivation isn't in the middle of your first quarter of grad school... :rolleyes:</p>

14

<p>To the millions of loud obnoxious people who randomly decided to congregate and be loud at 11 pm on the sunday before 10th week: DIE, PLZ.</p>

15

<p>Two papers due this week, and I've gathered everything I need for them, but I can't bring myself to open the books. That first step just seems so daunting and overwhelming now...hopefully this feeling goes away in the next day or so.</p>

16

<p>Its about after 3am and Im sitting here in my room looking at a blank notebook and putting off work on my paper also... haha allie i think you express the sentiments of many people/procrastinators right now. I slept most of the day to do it now since its really quiet here on strathmore. I have an 18 page, a 10 page, and seven page papers to do respectively, this sucks but i have good bs skills too but that only goes so far. Better get some coffee brewing and face the music. Yes sirr alrite peace and Good luck everyone on finals. :)</p>

17

<p>I have decided not to leave powell until this paper is done. it's 4 pm. </p>

<p>who would like to take bets that i will still be here at midnight. </p>

<p>extra points if i get bruincarded.</p>

18

<p>i take bets you'll be at in and out at midnight</p>

19

<p>haha lol allie dont get tasered...</p>

20

<p>i know, right. </p>

<p>and omg i effing hate it when people in the library get too close. GO AWAY I CANNOT FOCUS WITH YOU MAKING NOISE IN MY SPACE. </p>

<p>sigh. i might be somewhat sensitive.</p>
