My poor professors are going to have to do a lot of grading over the next few weeks. How do I know this? Because I still have 3 major papers to WRITE! (And this doesn't include the easy, short kinds of papers/assignments)
So, while I have no time to blog now... I know the tide will turn and winter break will be here soon!
Oh how I wish I could just wiggle my nose and have the research portion completed!

Better you than me :)
Hang in there -- I know you'll do great! Break is almost here.... :)
Oh, Ashley, please don't grieve over your professors' having papers to grade, yours among them. It is for the ends of semesters that they live; all the semester is mere prelude to the final week of late nights, lots of coffee, fretting and even agonizing over particular students' borderline cases.
For it is, after all, the final week of the semester.
Best of luck to you with your papers.
John, In terms of English papers, I would agree. But this 10 page paper over a local environmental issue in a large lecture class... but yes, perhaps the key to improving my grade there is writing something to suggest that he didn't waste his breath all semester! The third paper is "analysis of a school setting" which is geared much more for forcing me to prepare for the final rather than producing something worthy of any double-shot espresso. (And as a side-note I'm pretty sure I was attempting at sarcasm... a professor once told me that it's this time of the semester they start wondering why they assigned SO much work!)
Thanks to both of you for the encouragement! I must now retreat to a distant land, entitled either Borders, the library or a quiet closet!
Just as a side-note I may make comments as "Jon" unknowingly when my husband signs on blogger on my computer and doesn't bother to sign off.
Sorry!
"Jon" and Ashley,
I know you were being sarcastic and I was responding in kind. I don't envy students their workloads (especially those who have families and/or jobs as well); nor, this semester, would I wish mine on anyone.
Anyway. Good luck finding a quiet place. May it and your hard work bear fruit.
Here's hoping the writing has been going well.
