I just stayed up all night and spent the last 14 hours writing a 4 page paper that was due 5 days ago. Sadly I started this paper last weekend and choked on the first paragraph. I've had nightmare about this paper since then. I've had to implement measures today that I haven't used since I quit smoking and went cold turkey, just to finish this paper. I feel about the same way now as I did then.
The really really sad part. I just spent an hour writing a 4 sentence email to the instructor telling her why my paper is 5 days late. It was a travesty! I rambled on about nothing and couldn't even offer one worthwhile argument on why I deserved even a partial grade. I finally gave up and told her I was pathetic. My closing remark was, "I'm sorry my paper is late but I'm stupid."
I can only hope that this slump I'm in goes away by Monday otherwise I'm going to fail my classes this term.
It was something along the lines of, examine the ideal of knighthood as presented in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (SGGK). In what ways is Gawain an ideal knight and in what ways does he fail to live up to that ideal? In SGGK, does the poet endorse the chivalric ideal or condemn it?
Yeah that's what I thought.... d@mn I missed part the question too.
Ah well I finished and the instructor did say she would grade it which means I should be earning at least a few points on it if nothing else - even if she did call me a procrastinator.
