May. 1st, 2008 08:08 am...so you know that 8-page paper that I bitched about endlessly that was due last Thursday for English that I left all to Wednesday to write and stayed up late to finish and all that? Yeah, got that back today. Got an A/A-. I just... what? This is not the way to prevent me from reinforcing bad habits of leaving everything to the last minute! This is the highest grade I've gotten on an English paper all semester! There's an inverse relationship between the amount of time I spent on the papers/paper revision and the grade I got. I mean, I'm totally not complaining, I'm absolutely thrilled about that, since that means it's very likely I'll get an A- in the class, unless I totally screw up the last paper, which I shouldn't. But I should have done terribly on it so I'd never want to do that again! I guess the extreme nausea that resulted from drinking so much caffeine that night was a sort of negative reinforcer. But still! (I also got an A- on the abstract film I stressed out about and did basically in one afternoon. Also not helping with the reinforcing good study habits!)
Anyways, it's Maaaayyyyy! May 1st isn't as good as May 8th (ljdf one week and I'm done with everything!), but it's definitely better than nearly every day in April, and definitely better than yesterday. My paper is done! And hopefully isn't too crappy! I feel sick again like last week since I drank loads of coffee Wednesday to help me focus. ugh. I need to stop doing that. It has a really terrible effect on me.
The poll results from yesterday are pretty amusing to me. ( Babbling about the poll! )
Ok, tired now. And I have a headache, but don't want to use Advil after learning about it and other over-the-counter analgesics in Drugs and Society. bah. Stupid class. But only three more days of classes! The semester is so close to being over! I am very pleased about that. (Not so much about the ridiculous amount of work I have to do within the next 7 days.)
