I think I have it programmed somewhere in my mind to never make the minimum word/pages
12-15 pages = 11 full pages in my mind
5-7 pages = one paragraph on the 5th page.
I don't know why I do this to myself. I always get scared that the prof will dock me on it.
Also I don't plagiarize, although I am always scared that I forgot to cite somthing, or I did it wrong, and get caught on it.
anyone else?

Haha! Great thinking. my 10-12 page paper is 9.5 pages, but it's brilliant so the prof is going to be so overwhelmed by amazingness that he won't even realize it's a tad on the short side.
As for citing, the entire concept is academic BS. Everybody knows that wikipedia is a gold mine for information! I had a long discussion with a prof about it one time and the jest of the conversation was if it's general 'common knowledge' you don't need to cite it.
The worst for citation is history or poli sci papers. yuck.
I give you props for starting a paper the night before it's due. Impressive my friend. I usually have a rule that a paper takes a day to finish if you work the whole time.
