Right. omfg. Just wrote an entire 10-page paper today. As in, the entire thing, because I was stupid and procrastinated forever.

Still, now it's done, and it's due tomorrow, so I'm not going to be late. It's certainly not the best paper I've ever written, and I have no idea how coherent it is, but I've done papers for my other politics class that I didn't think were very coherent and I ended up with A-s, so maybe I'm not the best judge of my own coherency.

But on the other hand, I think it's worth at the very least a C, if my teacher is a particularly hard grader (which I don't know, because this is actually the first paper I've had to turn in for him). And honestly I don't really care about the grade because I just want to turn something in and not get a zero.

And! This means that I am done with all of my assignments except for finals! So awesome! I really need a good sleep in celebration. XD

ETA: And my professor emails us at 11 at night to say that we've got an extension on the paper until Monday. Dude, you couldn't have told us this before I spent seven straight hours writing the damn thing? Now I just need to decide if I want the teacher or the writing center to look at it and give me feedback, or if I just want to be done with it and don't care if it's not the best it could be. *sigh*

The Right Way

OK, so a day's a bit of a push - but my experience over two degrees (and twenty years of work in between) is that the stuff I produce in a creative rush is better - and graded better - than the worthy stuff I work and re-work and cram with too many ideas.

I suppose as long as you've spent the procrastination day-dreaming about your paper, it's fine. I loaf a lot, but spend most of the loaf thinking sideways thoughts about life, the world and that blooody thing I've got to get on with.

Like the case studies I'm not writing now and which are due by midday next Wednesday. Tuesday is going to be a loooooong day...

Have someone look it over. If it's not a great paper and you've had an extension, the professor is likely to grade harder than usual. Though I totally understand your desire to want to be done with it.
