Essay essay essay

I kind of really hate the whole concept of essays. (Which may be why it is 2am, and I'm not even a quarter done one that's due at 1 this afternoon) But really, what's the point? Why do I have to ramble on for over a thousand words to try and make a point that I could make in a paragraph? What does that accomplish? All this does is teach students how to bullshit their way through everything and it just stresses everyone out! And it's probably of as much real-world importance as learning how to factor quadratic equations or something (aka none).

I'm just procrastinating now. Which is ridiculous and stupid, but there's not much I can do to stop that. It's taking all my will not to switch over and start rambling in my NaNo, but that's mostly because I'm putting this essay in my NaNo (I've decided I might as well start cheating right off the bat this year, rather than waiting for the inevitable panic later).

ETA: Also, my sense of 'organisation' makes it damn near impossible to get out of my bed, and even more daunting to get back to where I need to be to work. I think I need a desk. A really really big desk...

You're doing NaNo? It's painful and I'm only on day two, without anything else to even distract me. Essays as well have got to be tough :(

Yup! It's my third year. Luckily, I think most of my school stuff is early in the month. Plus, I put the essay in my novel. I've decided it's smarter to spread the cheating out through the month, rather than when I panic on the home stretch!

Omg THIS! I had a 1500-word essay due in at 4 today and was only halfway there at 1 - bad times! You have my sympathy, and I agree - they feel pretty pointless at times :) On the other hand, bullshitting skills can come in handy...

Yeah, it doesn't help that I have mad procrastination skillz. :P
