AggieDave 6 #1 March 31, 2003 So its 3pm and I just poured myself a drink. This is a study break for me, being all stressed out with this paper. The paper IS the grade for my Senior level history course. The paper is up to about 12 pages long now and I'm not near being done. Its due by Thursday (the earlier the better for the prof), and I feel like I need another month to get it exactly right. Agggghhhh...its a good thing I got a whole lot of jumps this weekend, or I would be seriously hurt'n.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

jessd 0 #6 March 31, 2003 It's not to early at all to pour yourself a drink. Plus, you need to relax a little before you really get working on the paper. I was the queen of procrastination when I was in college. I'm sure the paper will turn out just fine.

staticnewbie 0 #7 March 31, 2003 Mate, if the pub's open, how can it possibly be too early? It's when your friends and a pool table enter the equation that you have to worry about work. If you keep drinking you may find a worrying number of "therefore"s and "however"s creeping into your paper. This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead.

NoShitThereIWas 0 #13 April 1, 2003 Hi AggieDave, I feel your pain and can so relate. I too am working on a physics research paper. Wanna trade? My advice, pour yourself a drink if that relaxes you and helps you to focus. For me, the trick is coffee and lots of it along with some good tunes to burn the midnight oil. A little time inflicted pressure to get the job done and the contemplation of feeling the end result accomplished also helps me stay on top of it. Don't stress over it though, just do it. You can get it done.Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Slink2 0 #20 April 1, 2003 Sounds like you have a good start anyway. Keep pluggin away at it! This reminds me of my own paper crisis while in college. It was due in 5 days, and I have only a general idea of a topic. Worse yet my relationship with my long time sweet heart is on the rocks. I arrange a trip to see her at her college for a 3 day meeting. So here I am in an Amtrak lounge car for 13 hours (Lakeshore Limited) speeding toward Syracuse, NY trying to write this paper all the while worrying about the relationship. Needless to say the paper "bombed" and so did the relationship some time later. What is it they say about college being about deeper lessons of life? Dave forget the paper, go SKYDIVE!
