Wow. That would be interesting! But sometimes I can actually do 8-10 pages of pretty solid quality. That's rare, but it does happen.

Of course, what am I doing the few weeks up to the 3 days of cramming?

Absolutely nothing.
That is definitely one of the great mysteries of the universe. I believe it should be studied. I would volunteer to be one of the first subjects.

I have my first final on monday. Haven't started studying. 5 readings to do and about 13 chapters to learn for this. Work all day Saturday. And I'm sitting here on CP. Not to mention my lab due for tomorrow still isn't done yet. Although I just have to polish it, do lit cited and I'm all good.

Bleh, I have to write some bullcrap reflective essay for my education class tonight. The UofC Master of Teaching program isn't mark-based so I literally have zero incentive to write the stupid thing right now.

I highly recommend Endnote or Refworks when you're writing essays.

Saves literally hours once you know how to use it.

I use endnote.

Indeed. I have been trying to study, but the image of some mammal doing jumping-jacks for eternity continuously creeps into my mind and distracts me.

I wonder why that is....

On that note I am a very lucky individual, I'm going to breeze through my 2 finals. I have to literally crap the bed to lose my A.

Not to nitpick or anything, but let me get this straight: if your professor came over to your house and found a steaming crap nugget in your bed, he/she would automatically reduce your couse grade (and/or offer you a coupon for Depends)?

Yeah, I'm at that stage too, unfortunately.

My Ethics exam tomorrow will involve "Why using animals doing jumping jacks as your avatar on a web forum is unethical"! I wonder what Aristotle and Plato would say about THAT???

Thats funny, I was ridiculing the name Robin earlier today for completely unrelated and non-transferable reasons......

Anyways, that link. Well, where to begin.....

1) That was the some of the weirdest, craziest stuff I may have ever seen.

2) My productivity level has just now hit an new all-time low...

Holden? I dont think he teaches Econ anymore so you must be taking his Geography class right? Holden is awesome, but for econ his tests were dead simple, I dont know how he is for Geo though.

I swear if I had my way, this thread would be the new million thread!
If there is anything that I like more than procrastinating on my essays, it's talking about doing so, and ranting about having to do them! lol.

900 more words to go on this one tonight. I have no ideas.
