Visual Depiction of Essaywriting
From 8pm last night to 5pm today I centered my life around writing a 7 page Lit Hum paper. Now, I’m not claiming I have more work than anyone reading this blog — I’m only claiming two things: 1) No matter how little work I have, I make it into a lot of work and 2) When I write essays, I constantly tell all my friends how many words I’ve written.
I realized that by going through my instant message logs, I could build a line graph of the progress of my essay. So here it is. Every dot represents a time I told someone my current word count over IM.
Note: Points three and four seem to connect on a nearly vertical line. That represents me at 100% efficiency. It’s cold hard proof that I am a lazy essaywriter.

You know baby sacs, this is the one thing that none of my friend up @ BU do, they never make random little illustrations and graphs to explain further how lazy they are. (Of course the illustration dealing with the time you hit the BMW 5 series comes into mind…) Anyways, final tomorrow and i haven’t started studying, but everything else i need to do is done! Yippie! I’m out…

Highly Mathematical Solution: Take the damn class Pass/Fail.
I took a final this morning in my polysci class, which I’m taking Credit/D/Fail. Sorta like Pass/Fail, ’scept you can get a D. Did really shitty on it but, thankfully, I only need a 28 to get credit.
Ah…mediocrity.
