'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Remember how I was all worried about having 12 pages of my 20-25 page paper done last week (I now have 16, BTW)? Well, I saw two peeps who are in this class with me last night and asked how they are faring. Neither one has even started writing yet! It's due in one week! I'd be losing my shit!
OMG, me too.
No, I was anxious because I couldn't breathe.
Yeah, that'll do it! {{sj}}
Stephanie, I hope the baby stays put until you are safely settled in in NM.
Neither one has even started writing yet! It's due in one week!
yeah, that would have been me.
I'm just incapable of cranking out 20 pages in one weekend (which is the only time I can write papers). 8-10 pages is possibly doable, but that's pushing it as well. YMMV, of course.
It's so interesting how differently people work. I've been waking up in the night all stressed about this paper, even though I've been steadily working on it for weeks. I think I'd drop dead if I waited until this late in the game to get started.
Stephanie - how distracting! stay-put~ma just in case.
d-it's snowing!
happy macaversary msbelle!
I have just now stress-chowed down on all the goldfish baked snack crackers. Please dear santa, please bring me more before 4:30 pm so that, after I pick up the sprog, I don't hear "iwantsomegoldfishiwantsomegoldfishiWANTSOMEGOLDFISH!" because I cannot do that today.
Me too. I once started a major paper 24 hours before it was due. I got a good grade on it, but the professor did ask why I had focused on 19th century sources. Why? Because I could check them out.
I think the only paper I ever started more than two days in advance was my Master's dissertation. I think six thousand words in eight hours was my record.
I've been waking up in the night all stressed about this paper, even though I've been steadily working on it for weeks.
This is so me. I almost always finished everything at least 3-4 days ahead of time, but still stressed about it.
sj, not being able to brethe would make me really anxious too. What a morning! Glad you made it to your mom's, though.
Every time, I would do the research, mark passages, perhaps even a rough outline ahead of time. I would swear that I would not be up all night the night before. Sometimes, I'd even get 5 or 6 pages written. And then, the night before, I'd be writing the damn thing until 6AM.
