In Which, An End

Whew! Another year of National Novel Writing Month over!

Just like the past few years, I’ve some how managed to drag myself across the 50,000 word finish line. And I still have plenty of plot to spare, so it could go on even longer! But I’m going to take a few weeks break from my NaNo novel and get final exams out of the way first. And I’ve only got about two weeks left of school until final exams are over! I just happen to have two papers due before then too.

The first paper is for Honors and is due Monday. The second paper is for Genetics and is due next Thursday.

I’ve got a lot of writing to do this weekend.

 

In Which, Results

I feel as though I should post what grade I received on that Honors paper, where I have two other posts about it. There are few things that annoys me more than when a professor doesn’t write down a definite grade on a paper. On my Honors paper, I got an A-/B+. Why can’t it just be one or the other? Preferably, the A-.

Either way, I have the option of a rewrite for the paper, which I plan to do. To some an A-/B+ seems like a good grade, and it is. I’m just anal and want to get the best grade I can get.

 

In Which, The Satus of my Paper

In my previous post, I discussed how much I wanted to procrastinate on my paper for Honors 211 at the University of Maine. Truth be told, after writing that post, I didn’t proscrastinate on starting the paper for much longer. I got started on it almost immediately after posting.

However, I continued to procrastinate on it by taking breaks.

Currently, I’m on my fifth page; the minimum alloted number of pages for this paper. I’m not done yet, but I am drawing to a close, almost. All in all, I’m about halfway done.

I’m thinking about calling it quits for the night, but I know I should keep going.

 

In Which, Procrastinations

I should be writing my first paper for this semester’s Honors course. I have the outline all written out, but I plainly don’t want to write it. I have no motivation. I have no interest in the topic. I would just be coasting along in the assignment. I would be bored.

I do need to get it done, though. I have until Monday at 9:00am. I would like to get half of it done today. We’ll see.

A status update on the paper later, maybe?

 

In which, It Is The Author’s First Real Day of College

I am dreading patiently awating my first class of the day. CHY 121. Introduction to Chemistry.

Followed shortly thereafter by MAT 126. Also known as Calculus I.

I finish off my classes today with more fricken Chemistry.

And then I still have to watch the Honors lecture that I miss with my second round of Chemistry.

Ugh. How did my schedule end up sucking so much? Oh, I know. Because I decided to be a stupid, Biology major.

Blarg. Wish me luck!
