| I heart you Josh Rising. I also love geography. I've don't know what the "worst" paper I've written is though. I usually block out all negative experiences. |

| That's the way it usually goes for me as well so im not that worried about passing the exam, however i still have to do the damn paper or else the professor wont let me take the exam. |

man, if you can't write a paper a day before its due and get at least a B- on it, you don't deserve to be in college.
writing papers for english classes in college was the easiest to do, and i was a science major. i mean, i had a harder time writing my own technical science than coming up with some BS about how paragraph X relates Y to Z in book A.
man, i graduated college two years ago to the date. i'm glad i don't have like that to do anymore:haha: |

I definitely know when I write sub-standard papers...within 5% of the mark I end up getting. My worst one I knew for sure I didn't get much more than 70%, and sure enough, I got 72 on it.
I ing hate doing ty work, it haunts me for so long, and I hate the embarrassment/guilt I feel when I hand it in.
Doesn't really happen often though. I'm pretty pwn at writing papers. |

usually i get A's on all my papers. this is the first class when i've actually done badly on papers, because all the topics are so useless and irrelevant, and the professor is the most nitpicky, annoying, ty professor i've ever had.
trust me, i write good papers tho. i deserve to be in college. i work my ass off here. i got an A+ on a paper about population trends in cyprus, and an A on a long paper about increasing tourism in utah. but this "academic writing" is just too confusing for me.

I feel your pain
Whenever I let an assignment get to this point, I usually am seized by a weird adrenaline rush in the wee hours of the morning and i sit and write like a mad scientist - this has produced some of my best work.
This method also produced one of the worst essays I have ever written - a paper proving that EDM is an authentic form subcultural expression. I got an A- on it (imo only because I write fairly well) but I think it's a total piece of garbage.
That's actually when I started posting regularly on TA. I made a survey that I asked the TOTAs to fill out - I was going to post it in here but I read some of the "Chill-out Room" threads and though " these people are ing weird" so I opted out of that decision lol |

| quote: | Unfortunately, ethos is not the only fundamental of persuasion. As political pundits such as Bill O'rielly of The O'Rielly Factor or Michael Moore of How Bush Made Me Fat have yet to take the risk of forging a glorified history of credentials, they rely (or rather, exploit) on other aspects such pathos, explicitly detailing stories designed to stir an emotional response. While one may say “So I'm guessing you're all for kids coming back in caskets, huh?” and the other adds a close-up of a glistening eye to a deeply powerful soundtrack, I feel pathos is the most useless and facetious of the three methods. Perhaps its only a matter of taste, but if someone wishes to persuade me, its going to be based on the accumulation of their facts, not on how outrageous they can become in contrasting their story to a late-night commercial on why Male Enhancement Supplements are good for me.

| quote: | | As a speech draws to a close, always make sure to end it with a proper conclusion. It is never recommended to end a speech after your final point has been made, but to overview with the audience your thesis, your main points and finish up your speech with a tag line. It reminds the audience why you were speaking and draws away from the fact filled body by winding down the speech to bring closure. |

sometimes i can do that too. i thought i was gonna be able to do that last night, but it just never happened. i guess i was too busy being distracted by other things. i just finished it up now actually, with a little under an hour to spare. now i just gotta cite my sources, print it and run off to class where my professor can tear it apart and i have 4 hours to fix it before the final deadline at midnight. then i have to study for 3 finals tomorrow.

and thank you, suspicionvandit. if those donations don't bump this paper up to an A, i dunno what will.
:D |
