Jeebus H. Christmas. (venting about school)
Our spring semester classes started four days ago, and I have already written more papers than I wrote ALL LAST SEMESTER, combined. It's like all of my professors are in some wicked conspiracy to kill me. Clue: College Edition. Professor Watson did it in the library with the student version of Microsoft Word.

I knew I was going to be writing a lot this semester, but five papers in four days?? During the very first week of classes? Holy fuck. I'm going to starve just to keep myself in computer paper and ink cartridges for the printer. :banghead:

The worst is the upcoming paper due for Poli-Sci, in which I must form a "thesis paragraph, without dramatic statements like Since the dawn of time, mankind has struggled to..., and write a clear and concise paper on the following topic: What sort of document is the Plymouth Agreement? What kind of self-understanding on the part of the colonists does it imply?" Ack. Writing is great when the topic is at least marginally interesting, but it is nothing short of torture when you're being forced to write about something dull and antiseptic. I'll have to watch at LEAST four hours of good quality pr0n to get my brain functioning again after that.

Yeah I know I shouldn't be complaining--I'm fortunate to get to attend college. I'm just a little taken aback at the massive and sudden difference between last semester and this semester. Oh well. At least my Brit Lit professor is witty and funny, and my French professor has been kind enough to NOT assign any writing thusfar. We're still in the "Comment vous appellez-vous?" stage there. :hi:

3. Hang in there oktoberain!
I just got my reading list for 3 graduate History courses...14 books...and I don't know how many journal articles because the sillibi aren't posted yet...

I know they are gonna' want a literature review on each book, plus who-knows-how-many topical papers, and oral presentations.

And I have to TA for one of the profs this semester, which means a bunch of grading of essays, as well as doing presentations in the survey History courses.

We can do this...We can do this...We can do this... :scared:

Coffee is my friend...
