Finals Week

I dont know it if it is the senioritist kicking in or what, but i have been waiting to do things up until the last minute. I just don't really care about some projects and without being stresses i lack the motivation to work on them. i should really get a head start on my take home exams that are due on Friday, but i feel so blah about them. I wish i could just sit in some classes and absorb the lecture. i would even do readings, but i am over writing papers. I don't think i like take home tests. they require so much more work to regurgitate the same ideas. i would rather take a test with multiple essay questions. then it would be over. i wouldn't have to cite sources and always be 100% grammatically correct. no one can say anything if i misspell words. it is just better all around. during a test you have to manage your time and profs expect that. with take home exams i feel the need to more fully develop an idea (even if the instructions say you dont have to). typing and editing take so much more time then quickly scrawling what you have learned. and the metaled exhaustion and the hand cramp that follow a written test prove that you did a good job. there is no satisfaction in completing a take home exam, you are just relived its over. the high of knowing you got an 'a' on the final just isn't the same. i would rather study hard and ace a test, then procrastinate to finish a half-assed paper.(granted they aren't all half-assed).

if only writing essays were like blogging, or you could go meet your professor and have discuss your topic, it could even be in a forum and people could ask you questions. i just hate the tediousness of papers. the write citation style (different for every class) the b.s. commentary, the flow, let me just make bullets of my points, and lets get to the point all ready. its not like i don't know how to write an awesome paper by now. i feel like its busy work. sure i can complete the 5 page paper for the essay in 1-2 hours tops and do well, but what is the point? i think i have learned more about working under pressure than almost anything else in school.

now i should get back to talking about aging Americans or modern eugenics in america. its all the same.
