3. I found Irc chat during highschool
I chatted away the time I should spend writing papers :p

Luckily I often found essays or papers on the net.. and this was the golden era when teachers didn't know about that :D

4. I'm supposed to interview someone in Criminal Justice...
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 07:51 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
And write a ten page paper with at least one source like a journal or a book to back up what that person says. It's for Criminal Justice Administration.

6. end of the semester crunch, I guess
Same here. I've got two papers (25 pager and 10 pager) and an in class exam all scheduled for the same day, in about two weeks. I've known this for at least a month but have yet to really get started.

I wrote a 15 pager - researched it and wrote it - in 48 hours last semester, so I know it's never too late. ;)

8. Ha! I'm done!
8 pages of blather about Global Petro-politics and I'm beat! Time to take a break, and then onto research for my final paper, which will be the real pain in my ass. If I ever get it done, it will be a 10 page position paper on the HIV/AIDS pandemic and it's implications on future U.S. foreign policy. Ugh!

10. Yeah, I caught some of that
I think VH1 did a great job with coverage today, and I'm glad they did it. Probably would have a greater effect if they ran it on MTV during the TRL hour, but I'll take what I can get. :-)
