Anyone else suffering from finals?
« on: November 29, 2005, 04:48:58 AM »
ACK!!! I just realized I have FOUR six-page papers due next week.   And I haven't even started any of them.   [smiley=bigcry.gif] And I have finals the week after.  [smiley=book.gif] <--- me for the next 2-3 weeks

Well I have a 7000 word paper due two days after start of term and I am going home for the holidays... which means it has to be done BEFORE I leave as I know I won't get anything done at home.

So I am right there with you.  Oh and a report that is due as well. 

No finals though as I am a PhD and we don't have them!

Mua ha ha ha!  Good luck to all those that do!

I'm near the end of my first semester, first year, so no finals!!!  But, there is that essay plan to hand in today, a group report of 2000 words to hand in the 7th, and then four essay due the beginning of January - 1 of a 1000 words, the others 2000 words each.  Thankfully, I've done most of the research for 2 of the essays - it's just a matter of writing them.  But, I haven't decided on the subjects for the other 2 yet - time to get cracking!

Me me me!  I just turned in a 2,500 word paper yesterday, and I've got another big term paper due on the 8th and then 2 smaller papers due on the 9th. Have I started working on any of them? Nooo... ::)  Then the next week I take 4 final exams in three days  :\\\'( (but 12 hours after my last exam I get to board a plane home, chill out for a while, then pick my boyfriend up from the airport!! YAY!)

I'm very unmotivated to do any of the work. I need to get my butt into gear. I keep trying to bribe myself (only 8 more months of this, then I can go back to England) but it's not working!

I'm so bad about procrastinating...I put off all my homework until the last second, then sit down and just get it all done in one day.

I just found out I get to skip one of my finals!! YEAH!!!  :D
