    Crunch Time!

    Ok College students let's hear all about it!  It's crunch time and it's time to get everything together and scream at the world for being so difficult. Go on let it all out, lets all just get together and celebrate how wonderful it is to be in school![;)]
    (High Schoolers or anyone in any kind of school is welcome also)
     




    I'm in the middle of a 5 page paper and I should be done now but for the love of all things good my mind is just blank.  I know this stuff but it's just not coming!  Errr... and I still have to study for another final tomorrow... where did all this time go and why is nothing working out right?  AWWWWWwwww!  Ok, deep breath, time to look at this paper and see what#%92s going on...
     
    I can type pages on this forum but for the life of me can not think of one more paragraph to write about for my World Religion Final Project.  Come on, I have know something about religion...

    wow.. perfect timing, Xebby!

    Well, I finished 2 exams today (whew) but have another tomorrow. I haven't studied for the one tomorrow because I was so busy cramming for the 2 I had today. Tomorrow morning is time for more cramming.
    I have a 20-page paper on what the university's students think of the course evaluation system. That excludes a (5-6 page) literature review that I did get done before I formulated the survey questions.
    Next week I have another cumulative final exam in Finance, and thats a HUGE one. Haven't started studying yet for that either, so next week is dedicated to that (after the paper gets done)

    Yikes. How am I going to do this???

    Ok I'm back to the sceaming board[:)
     
    It's been about 2 hours now and I only have one page more than I had then, means one more page and I'll be done.  I don't get this, I've written several 10 page essays and a few 20 but this simple 5 page thing is just driving me nuts!  Why is the subject of religion so difficule, it's mostly my views on how I view religion so it should be easy!  I've almost completly re-read the book to get ideas but I just don't know...  aww... maybe I should get some sleep, it's due Friday at 5pm but I was hopeing to have it done tonight so I can have a friend edit it before I turn it in.  Ok, I've decited.  My final tomarrow is more important right now and so I'll study for that instead... or not, this paper is 1/4 of my grade and the final is only 20 points less than 10% the total grade...urggg.

    I finished rewriting my Intermediate Performance Assessment (IPA) paper last night. Yay! I had to redo it though because the first one sucked, because I honestly had no clue what to do with it. It's not like anyone bothers to tell us what they want. Or rather, they did, but at the same time while they were meeting with the students and telling us one thing, they were meeting with the supervisors and telling them something else. I wish these people would make up their minds. I won't know for probably at least a month whether or not I passed since they'll take their time in grading mine since I am not student teaching next semester. I'm leaning towards having not passed and redoing it next semester, but at least i'll have a supervisor with experience, and perhaps a standard to write about that doesn't suck as much.
    I am off today and tomorrow because they are study days, and I have no exams. I have to go in Monday for a class though because it is being counted for two days worth of attendance, and I forgot to have my cooperating teacher at my practicum fill out a survey, so I think i'll need the points. The other two classes I am not bothering to go to. I never missed one of them and I signed up to present on the first day possible to get it over with. The other, I doubt anyone will really come to it unless they've missed a lot of classes. The guy actually has the nerve to give a lecture on an exam day. Actually, he had all the assignments pertaining to his lectures due weeks ago, and about half of us took the tests we needed to take for certification 3 weeks ago, so we stopped caring then. Plus, we've all heard his lecture in other classes. We had an entire class on classroom management. So, where he would get the idea that anyone is going to care what he has to say, I don't know. I think the fact that people are sitting there sending text messages, sleeping, doing the Su Doku or the crossword puzzle in the newspaper, would be a hint that nobody cares anymore, and it's time to give up.
