Anybody here ever done an all-nighter for an essay, paper, or report?

Well, I'm done with my Othello essay. I feel like crap and I feel like it's crap. I'm not even joking.

Spoiler Alert!

I hope my English teacher doesn't think I'm some one-trick pony that uses "Blah once said, 'Blah, blah, blah'" to start my essays all of the time, because honestly, I've never used quotes as hooks until I came into his class... so that's two times now that I've used a quote as my engaging opening.

Oh, and I was looking at my essay in the OP and now the file has increased to exactly 3,000 words for some weird reason. Yeah, random fact.

_{Well, I did worse than my first essay. I knew it was crap! I was so dead that day.}

I'm done with my absurdist essay.

Spoiler Alert!

This is the first time I've actually felt happy while writing an essay. I think that's a bad sign. I usually do well on essays I'm scared and unconfident about. My friend called me crazy. I'm losing faith that my essay is an A-value paper now that I'm actually done writing it.

One of my classmates created a group on Facebook for my Accelerated English class recently. Yesterday, and even well into today, everybody spazzed, asking each other for help on quotes and analyses. I swear there's going to be a few people still up and working on it, it now being 5 o'clock in the morning.

Oh, the life of pre-AP students. That just means we're one step before becoming the ultimate Advanced Procrastinators.

I hear this is one of the hardest essays of the year. I hope that means I can stop holding my breath and expect easier prompts in the future, instead of this crazy-ass philosophy that I'm not sure how anybody can live by.

even though i've never stayed up the whole night to do an essay, i had to do an essay for English on Monday and Tuesday. the problem was, i had a flute lesson on Tuesday during English, so i finished my essay during Extra Help after school. But, apparently because of solar flares, there was a blackout in school, which cause lights to go off hallway by hallway. so, i reached the computer lab, and the teacher there said the computers didn't work. knowing i was going to be late for my lesson, i told my friend i had to go and to tell the teacher i had left. But when i got to the Band room, it was occupied by 6th graders, and my teacher told me to go back to class. so i had to go to the computer lab again, where i printed my essay and started playing games.

<sub>I've had my crazy times trying to get an essay done too. I cringe at the thought of it now.

Anyway...



Hooray for research papers?

Yuck. I feel like my entire essay is bs.</sub>

Just as PurpleLover101 said, when I was in school (class of 08), we had no choice but to write all essays in class, so as to make sure we weren't getting outside assistance, nor any form of plagerism (<--- spelling? eh.. oh well). And if we didn't complete the essay same day/class period, we had to drop our essay(s) on the teachers desk on our way out. Some people took up to a week to complete an essay that way. But it did show off who had been cheating on their essays and what not, before they started this.

[freezingHOT]

_{Oh, I see. None of the English classes in my school work that way, as far as I know. We have to sign a plagiarism contract though. I don't really remember what the terms are, but it's not like I have to worry about it, lol. Anyway, I don't really think plagiarism is too much of a problem at my school nowadays. I mean, those who don't care about their grades are probably too lazy to plagiarize anyway, and those who do are obviously sensible enough to turn in their own work, since teachers are generally able to pinpoint the extent of a student's writing skill.}

i've been up two nights in a row. was freaking crazy. eyes acquired glazed expression, couldn't manage complex sentences, let alone brushing teeth and hair. that was all night, all day, all of the next night, until 9 am the next morning, when i dashed it off for submission, then bunked a whole day of class and slept through the next two days.
freakily enough, i kinda miss it.
