Default dont midterms and school suck

Its 3:33 am
I have 3 term papers due later on today

1st is due at 10 am
2nd is due at 430 pm
3rd is due at 730 pm along with a presentation lead by me

I also have to be at work by 800 am

I just finished my 9 page report on commercial speech (the nike case)

Dont term papers suck?

I regret going to the school im currently going to,... my friend goes to UCLA and is in his 3rd year. He has only had to write 2 term papers in his 3 years. I have wrote numerous term papers, its not even funny. To make crap worse... all the bastards schedule due dates around the same week along with midterms.

Oh well... im just frustrated

I still have a 5 page financial paper to write, so i wont be getting much sleep, if any. Which will be another problem,... i tend to become speech impaired (i forget what im saying or just plain out slur something) when i dont get enough sleep.
So... my presentation will surely be 20 minutes of fun filled entertainment.
suicide

Any one else going through midterms, term papers, or finals (if your on a quarter system)?

I would rather blow my third engine than to be in my position right now...

Oh well... my NX kit gets here this week, so my 2 weeks without nitrous will surely come to an end.
Dam,... maybe thats why im so stressed... i havent had any NAWZ

My question is going to be obvious. Why not start early if you know you have 3 papers due on the same day? I definately procrastinate, but not when its THAT much work. Also, I don't think it matters what school you go to, but what teachers you take. Once you find a teacher that you like you better take that teacher as much as possible, thats what I do. After this semester I have 40 more credits, I can't wait til I'm finished.

ya, school is hard, but definately worth it. do you know how many people end up in sh*t-jobs for their entire lives because they stopped at highschool, or even with an aa or as degree. i understand that not everyone has the opportunities that some of us have, but since i (and you) have it, just bust your a** as much as you can (and them some) so you can differentiate yourself from others when entering the job market. only three more weeks of busting my a** ...then i get to do it for another year. yeah suicide after i'm done with my degree here, i'm *probably* gonna enter a program for a phd in econ and a law degree. suicide help talk about busting your *** . i thought this undergrad s**t was rough. hey, but the pay right out of school for people with phds is fantastic. wink

What you fail to realize is that when your friend graduates from UCLA, interviewers will see "UCLA" and go, "Ok, so what?"

I go to an upper echelon school, and it does suck having to rattle off a minimum of fifty pages of written assignments every semester, but I have to keep reminding myself about the end result: Stepping up to the board table and going, "I ownz joo."

well....

unfortunately i did not get any sleep...

My finance report was finished at 9:40 AM

Im luck that i have a cool *** hell boss that didnt mind me rapping my paper up.

I went through the whole day drinking "AMP" (red bull imitation made by Dew)

My finance paper was kool.. with some kick *** excel graphs

My MArketing law paper was great, even though my group mate kept bitching at me... we combine at total of 18 pages.

My international business paper kicked *** . I did alright in the presentation... i kind of slured and studdered a bit, but that was expected
When it came to question time... i nailed all of them. I defended my topic well.

Work was a bit hectic like always... i managed to only work 8 hours today... which is a miracle

Tommorow i know for sure ill be working a twelve hour day

thanx for the support guys
