Two in class role plays, an in class essay, and handing in a project thats due at 9 am that I am about half done. It is 2:08 in the morning. I love this thread.
I'm so tired ... its not due for another week, but I have the following:
- Thesis Proposal and Presentation (I'm stuck on getting all state of the art info, I barely know what I'm doing)
- Assignment (I can't figure out how to use a certain part of the software)
- Project (I've spent 20 hrs on it so far just trying to come up with the specifications and figure out how to start getting info to start designing it... start... 20 hours more to go on this thing?)
- Big Project (this relies on the project above, since the above is component in this project... design, test and do layout of a Flash Analog-Digital-Converter) ... and a 15-20 page technical report on it.
- Big Project (to make a... I don't even know what the question is asking... something I've never heard of, but I have to readup, learn what it is then design one) ... and a 15-20 page technical report on it.
- BIG PROJECT (this isn't going to get done this break, predicted 100-200 man hours, and one of my group members is lazy and unreliable)
... on and 2 midterms in a week
So 3am, here I am again. And this is spring break.

Hey guys, I have a question, I am right now righting a report for school, if I use information for a source or two, but I only take a few parts from each source and rewrite in my own words is that paraphrase and I have it cite?

I'm not a grammar nazi but considering you're about to "right" a report you may want to ahem, you know...right a little gooder than that.

Yes you have to cite it.
paraphrase
direct quote
it all doesn't matter, you have to cite it.
This is my introduction. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My introduction is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My introduction, without me, is useless. Without my introduction, I am useless. I must write my introduction true. I must write better than the person who is trying to grade me. I must write my introduction before it is due.

Holy crap, dood. I have serious new-found respect for you. That is a lot of work!
Don't admire me too much. My 140+ hour design (the simplest of the 4 project I have to do this semester... the one I had spent 20 on and expected to spend another 20 on, turned out to be 140+) works, but its unstable; I designed up the fabrication masks that don't pass all the design checks (65 errors, cause my lab partner is a useless); my thesis proposal was weak and I gave a crappy presentation; and I still have 3 more projects to do. Oh and I blew most of my midterms.
I need a vacation

Monday is my last final forever! I have a test tomorrow... ugh, today... instead of a final but since I've already passed the course, I have no motivation to study.
Current Time: 3:45
Word Count: 0
Red Bull Count: 0 (Luckily I'm used to staying awake till 4-6)
haha. I do have my thoughts pieced together and around 4,000 words of quotes typed out. I'm in the process of organizing these quotes into common themes & then I'll write my essay around the quotes that I'm actually going to use.

Man, karma is a bitch. I'm gonna be up all night doing this damn law and society assignment. Only 5 more pages of analysis on the Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Dayton Agreement, and other such interesting topics.
