The Panic Is Settling in Slowly, Like an Exaggerated Caffeine Headache

Paper due Monday at noon. 10 pages written. 20 to go. Writing about global climate change (I heard something about polar bears the other day?).

Wanna trade? I have to write about the nature of reality as related to mass media. Oy.

Kevin has written only 2 pages of his "feminism is bad" paper, and he doesn't seem to be very worried. You're going to be fine, kid. Also, I saw Marcia Gay Harden at sportie la on Melrose after our Evidence final- do you think that's a good omen?

Add something about how hot Al Gore is, and posit that his hotness contributes to global warming BUT he is combatting that by being so educational with his powerpoint.

I vote that you only refer to polar bears as "poley bears." Just because it sounds classy.

Somehow sitting in a room full of stressed out kids who are taking the state tests sounds better than writing your paper.

I don't understand paper length requirements. The length of a paper != good paper. I'm not a professor or anything, but I would much rather read a shorter, really well-written paper than a long and drawn out paper that has big words thrown in to add length in order to meet some requirement. Yet, it seems like this is what is encouraged. In the real world, if you babble on and on and use a bunch of jargon, people quit reading your stuff.

I understand that professors want to make sure their students are in fact working in their classes but quality > quantity.

You can do it. Make sure to spend some time looking out the window though, if for nothing more than to keep you from going raving mad.
