Granted, it’s my fault for procrastinating, but that doesn’t make the process any less lame.
That is all.
::Goes to find another distraction::
So its distractions you want, eh?
Well, start off with Bash.org. I recommend the top 100 first, then supplemented with the random button.
Follow that up with the seven years plus of webcomics at Sluggy Freelance.
Have fun goofing off.
How dare you distract me! I’m shocked…SHOCKED!!!
I’m def. not going to check that link. In fact, I’m going to write my term paper. You should be ashamed- trying to distract a college student from thei—
Sorry, I was looking at the website 
Term papers are lame. I have one due in 24hours and I haven’t even started it yet. Don’t think I’ll be getting much (if any) sleep tonight. Sometimes I wish I was a more responsible student…
That said, Bash.org was entertaining, but I haven’t dared to click on the other link yet - 7 years worth of webcomics sounds like it might just distract me for too long…
Can’t wait until tomorrow when I turn in my last paper of the term, and can go get hammered at the student bar before I have to start studying for exams.
Nope. Term papers are great. Pick a(n approved) topic, establish a perspective, do the research, marshall the facts, check the arguments for consistency and support, and have at it.
Tests are lame: guess which three pages out of the 125 accumulated pages of notes the instructor is going to test against, guess which questions with equal length answers are going to be loaded at 15% of the test value vs 3% of the test value (based on the whim of the instructor) and then guess which key words the instructor expects to see in one’s answer in order to get full (or any) credit for the the twenty minutes of hand-cramping effort one has to put into that question. (Or face the lazy prof’s test where the answers are all T or F or fill-in-the-blank, but the questions are worded so that they are all F depending on the specific weaseling the instructor embedded in the phrasing and he gets to choose which T answers or filled blanks he will expect despite his poor writing skills.)
I’ll take papers over tests any time.
Ok, fair enough… papers are better than tests. Especially tests of the nature you describe which I haven’t had any of since middle school. I would never be able to deal with a test like that nowadays. A T/F test in philosophy might be fun to see though.
The fact that papers are better than tests still doesn’t make them not lame. Even when I find the topic interesting (like what I’m working on now) I still manage to procrastinate and end up with ok papers written and researched in the same night.
Ok, back to researching now… just after I finish reading a few of the threads I have open at the moment…
They are lame. Almost as lame as I am. Thats why I wait until the night before most times to write them. Out of protest. 
So far I have 5/10 pages. I have nothing else to write about. This can’t be good.
And Gabe…I like that story. I’m stickin’ to it!
Yesterday was my term paper KICK ASS day. I knocked out eighteen pages (total) of three papers: homosexuality in the New Testament, Berowne’s rhetoric in Love’s Labour’s Lost, and stasis vs. change in Angels in America. Plus bibliographies!
That was pretty exciting. I wrapped up at about 11:45 and it took me a while to come down off the paper-writing high.
