That was one of the most painful papers I've ever written. This morning I woke up around 10 to finish it; it was all done but about 550 words too long and none of the citations were done. I worked on it, went to my history seminar, went to the library to finish cutting it down. The question was just so open ended and the professor wanted us to include everything and anything possible, it was rough. Citing it took at least 45 minutes because I had around 12 sources. I finally printed it, got some chips and hot sauce for dinner and went to class.
My history seminar at 2 was pretty cool. The class was on the antebellum north and south, but we mostly just did some class bonding and talked about what was going on in our lives. It was a nice change of pace. I like my seminar tutor a lot. He's American, from Washington. I'm sure it'll be weird for the kids in that seminar that are here next semester and some of the associate students are gone, they'll get new ones though.
The tube took forever, so I was about five minutes late to class. Good thing though because the professor picked a random person to read their paper to the class. I'm so happy it wasn't me. I have a hard enough time making myself proofread my own papers (I did it at least three times for this paper though), let alone discuss it after it's written and turned in. For the next hour or so we basically went around the room saying things about her paper and our papers and the professor told us things that we'd forgotten to include, making us all feel even worse of course.
About an hour and a half into class when we were done analyzing her paper, he told us he was going to take us to the pub for a drink. So British.
So we all got up and walked a few blocks to Gloucester Rd into a pub that was playing the Man U-Arsenal game, so it was naturally very crowded, and got a drink. Eusa paid for it (the Nova program) so it was cool. After the pub expedition the professor was talking to some of us and he told me that the employees of Salusbury World that worked with us were fond of me and happy to have me there. :)
Now I have one more paper to finish, my history paper. I might do a little tonight and the rest tomorrow.
