I went to bed with no paper started. I dunno, I'm just been feeling of really low health recently, like I was shaking for no reason for an hour yesterday. I *was* gonna go to class but a sudden wave of "aah, I feel so crappy I'm about to die!" stopped me. So now I'm just here, still trying to write the stupid paper that was due half an hour ago, and I can't think straight (not to mention I'm dealing with predestination vs. free will which is a funky thing to begin with). Well, I've been working on it for a little over 2 hours, and it's about halfway done lengthwise, so I should be done by 6 today. Have to find references for half this stuff, though. Hopefully the TAs will be nice. My parents would *kill* me if I get a stupid C. Why did I decide to pick an interesting topic instead of an easy one?

Yeah, called home yesterday when feeling crappy, in search of comfort. But got dad on the phone instead of mom. So got the usual bit about doing well in class and stuff and did not feel better at all.

Of course, the rub of it all is that I drove myself to this state.

I totally hear you, baby. I've got a paper to finish in half an hour, then another one to write when I come back from class (due at three).

I think my professors don't understand the concept of "dead week". Unless it's "by the way you'll wish you were dead week".

I always thought that was what it meant.

Yowch. 2 papers in 1 day?

Well, I think dead week is a complete untruth. First of all, it's not a week, it's two days without classes. Second of all, people still have classes on those days (discussion sections, review sections, "I'm in a class w/ grad students" classes). Thirdly, it's not "dead", in either sense of the word. You'd either be "help, I'm near death but I'm not dead so I still have to think about this crap", or the classes won't be like, dead and un-homework-giving.

*return patpat* Interesting topics are better than easy ones, and except for my current Soc Prof, I've never had a professor or TA who wasn't reasonable about getting assignments in on time. Good luck with the paper!
