I have a 15 page paper due Monday on top of two tests. The rest of the week isn't so bad, but I am literally going to be locked in my room all weekend trying to prepare for Monday.

I should've started the paper earlier, but I was too busy working on a 50 page business plan with my group, which had to be edited to death, then planning our presentation in front of fake investors. This was all for the same class I'm writing the 15 page paper for and it counted as 40 percent of our grade, yet I'll have no way of finding out how we did until grades are posted.

Yay school. Adderall is my savior at the moment. Ah well, back to writing.

Good luck bro. The end of semester push is tough for everybody! Your semester runs late! I've already started summer school...

Thanks all, glad to hear you guys got through it.

I'll finally get to head home around the 20th, but then I have to drive 4 hours away for my internship which starts on the 29th. ;)

No rest for the wicked, I guess.

sconard82 , it your paper double spaced?

I noticed that instructors live to have page numbers inserted and papers justified. Also ,

my prof. like 1" margins.

think of is as an 8 pg paper ... when you double space. Goood luck.!!!

I am glad my semester is over. Grades are posted tomorrow. I know what I got in my Calc III class but nothing else. Im kind of nervous to find out what I get in my classes.

But we shall see.

Wow, auntchris, my professor's requests were almost identical to that. The only difference is that he likes size 14 font. The hardest part of the paper was actually not going over 15 pages.

wow, size 14! how nice.

I dont know a professor who would mind going over 15 pages.

You are almost done right? I mean for the semester.... summer days are here again. :D

Tuesday and Thursday are my finals.... I am scared and yet relieved that it will be all over with soon. At least, until next semester.

I was so worried about finals... until i calculated my grades in excel. I hadn't even realized it, but doing so well throughout the semester meant i could fail each final (50ish or above give or take in 5 classes) and still make A's! I never even thought about this before... so from now on, slacking off comes in the last two weeks instead of the first two, lol.

I have my finals next week as well. I am dreading it. It stinks because I made good grades throughout the semester, but when I am doing my final prep that the proffessor gave to us...I draw blanks. Its like I have completely forgotten it all. =(
