Well, from 3 weeks ago to now I had to do the following:

Complete at least 1 exam in Visual basic worth 15% of my mark, and one assignment worth 10%.

Currently I have more or less 57% in VB but the 10% assignment should be more then enough to pass me.

Then in English I had 2 essays, the one on dictatorships, and one on China both worth 20 and 30% respectively. I had to work overtime to finish them.

I had a major presentation and a major paper in ethics, both worth 40% so 80% total. The major paper I'm working on and its due tomorrow.

I had a test in Chemistry of Sex and an 20% assignment to do for tuesday, if I boom the test I think I'll fail the course and because I'm on probation it means barring some miracle I'll be kicked out of Abbott for a year, which will result in a massive fight with my parents and what not, they may even kick me out before I have enough money saved up to do so.

I feel so stressed. Anyone else in a similar SITREP?

Kind of. I have a major seminar paper and an exam, and about 11 days to do both. Exam won't be a problem, seminar paper will.

You still have exams? I thought you were a lawyer? So I geuss your only studying to be one?

Got ya beat, Dag - I've got 20 hours to write 12 pages for my Greek paper.

And here I am... [Wink]

I so want to take a class called "Chemistry of Sex."

My biggest worry right now is taking the GMAT. The hardest part so far is actually getting up the nerve to schedule the test. [Angst]

I've got a 8-10 philosophy paper on moral epistemology, another paper, similar length, on the works of various economic nobel laureates, a 15-minute presentation on the economic paper, another 15-minute presentation on game theory & evolutionary psychology, and about four hours of operations research problems.

That's all due next week.

Then I have four finals: OR (take-home, will probably take about 12 hours to finish), game theory (cumlative), godless universe (philosophy course, should be easy), and real analysis (cumlative [Angst] )

That's the week after next.

Then I'm free... free as a bird... (for a week before summer research starts).

I want to take the LAB.

Well, hopefully the instructor doesn't assign lab partners...

I need to write my AAR tonight so I can get the 250 ducats I need to build those manus.
 
Posted by Kristen (Member # 9200) on :
 
When a highly motivated class of 30 averages 63% on a quiz, I think the professor should curve. I also think said professor should curve when said class averages 73% on the next.

Just sayin' [Grumble]

why tonight? I thought it was due tomorrow nioght?
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
Yes, but I'm in a CK game then and can't write. So are you, in fact.

My stress is almost over I just have one final Organic chemistry exam tomorrow. Over the last week and a half, though, I've done six other finals in physics, physics lab, anatomy, anatomy lab, molecular biology and world history. In addition I have to be moved out by 10 am Monday morning, and I can't move in to my new place until 8 am Monday morning, which will make for an interesting Monday. Luckily I don't have a lot of stuff to move. And my next semester starts on Monday at 10 am, with a morning microbiology class.

oooooh yeaaaaaah... tomorrow... should I write an AAR? Am I able to get a BB reduction?
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
Well, you could, but you've only got 7.3. I'd go for money or deflation, were I you. Incidentally, you've got all your religions equally tolerated; since there aren't actually any Muslims in your realm, as far as I know, you can drop them and use the tolerance to reduce the revoltrisk for your Confucian provinces.

i meant in CK [Wink] my bb is a tad worser. In EU2 I usualyl just go for deflation.

I'm moving in 2 days. A whole apartment load of furniture up to a 3 story apartment. I am not looking forward to it.
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
Oh, CK. Well, there's no rule about AAR rewards in that game. You could suggest one, though.

12 hours, 9 pages left.

Hot dang, I'm good at procrastinating!
 
Posted by collissimon (Member # 9346) on :
 
I've just finished a politics paper, and a political geography paper... oh and my teaching portfolio. I can't wait to hand them in later this morning!

I've got two exams in about 10 days... and then I go back home and start on next year's dissertation! [Grumble]
 
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
 
11 hours, 7 pages.

Getting better - I may actually sleep tonight!
 
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
 
Under 7 hours, 4 pages.

Hey - I took a nap already. And I realized I have yet to finish the other paper I have due today. Oh crap.
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
My kids both have colds, it seems like when one falls asleep the other one wakes up, and my husband went from being home almost full-time to being away about 11 hours a day, 5 days a week. The two-year-old is not taking it well.

Neither am I.

Tsk tsk tsk! (sympathetic clucking for all those stressed out students and moms of sniffly kids)
 
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
 
One hour, 0 pages. And I slept for two hours.

Now I've just got a paragraph to conclude my seminar paper, and I'm done! Booyah!
 
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
 
Good job Carrie!
 
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :

Let's see, before tuesday I have to:

-Study for and take a French exam (on a Saturday!)

-Prepare a portfolio for my English class

-Rehearse a scene and do all the written work for it, which is about 8 pages of analysis.

Yeah, that's not too bad, considering that I've already done a lot of my work. Still, I'm not looking forward to this weekend. Yay finals!
