Well, I survived finals week. It was rough, very rough. It was a vicious cycle in that the stress of it all made it difficult to concentrate.
I just submitted my term paper this afternoon for my last class. I had stayed up the night before to try to finish it ahead of time. However I was just so tired from staying up late to study for my exam for another class and to finish a presentation for yet another. I was so exhausted my mind just wasn't working. It was nearly impossible to concentrate. So I decided, "Okay, I'll email it to him late tommorrow evening so at least he knows I got in done by the due date."
Heh heh, me and my bright ideas :tdown:.
I went downtown later that day to work and got back to campus mid afternoon. At 4:15 pm I opened my email and found one from the professor, reading, "If I don't recieve your paper by 5 pm today you will get a zero for the paper and an F for the class."
I had a virtual panic attack right there. No joke. My hands cramped up and everything, and that only happens when I'm really stressed out. I was able to conjure up something respectable within about an hour based on the outline I'd made. I emailed him the paper and 5:27 and wrote, "I realize I missed the apocolypse by half an hour, but hopefully the judge will find it in his heart not to throw me into the lake of fire." I felt so pathetic :rolleyes:
Thank sweet merciful God, he said he would accept it but take off points for it being so late, which was certainly much better than a zero.
So I'm done! I'm done with this semester. It was difficult academically, but here I am.
