Know that feeling when writing a paper that's almost due and you feel like you've smurfed yourself for choosing a subject that's too complicated to fit in the limited amount of words you're allowed to use? That's what I just did. While I know that this is supposed to be a learning experience so I don't make the same mistake twice, I just smurfing hate having to finish it with an incomplete feeling, like I did a second-rate job.

I'm probably gonna receive a 7,5 or something while some dumb kid who wrote a paper on a simpler subject but who wrote it better is gonna get a 9 and that pisses me off. Makes me just wanna print it out and then eat it in sheer rage.

However this will motivate me to study even harder on the exam which is in like 2 weeks. Ain't no pressure my tiger blood can't handle.

In other news: Thanks to Glee I've discovered that Ke$ha's 'Tik tok' is actually a pretty cool song. I love how it's so deep and emotional and it totally sums up my feelings right now.

    I know the feeling. Sometimes I want to be the kid that scores well by being a dick. But I like to challenge myself. Picking the easy way is just .

    Yeah I hate those assignments that are nothing but simple wrap-up jobs. They just don't compare to the satisfaction you get from writing a paper that's pretty awesome compared to what everyone else came up with.

    I finished a "paper" yesterday. It has a 500 word limit. It's supposed to make you be precise and crap, but then they give us this huge open ended question to do and it's just like.. are you smurfing serious. If you approach it from the best and most interesting way, you will have an extremely flawed and not-at-all thorough argument. I did it anyway, smurf 'em.

    500 words? Yeah those suck. I always end up writing too many arguments and it ends up being a major clustersmurf by the time I'm supposed to write a conclusion. What you studying?

    I'm studying Journalism, not for any particular reason other than it involves writing. The classes in question were creative writing classes though which make it even more stupid. I just... it's a steady job, if I can get past my fear of interviewing people. I'd rather work in a magazine than newspapers or w/e so hopefully I can get into that.

    I used to hate Tik Tok, but it's actually grown on me. Really catchy song even though her autotune and lack of hygiene makes me cringe.

    btw it turns out I got an 8,5 for that assignment. Apparently taking a risk and going with the optional harder assignment paid off. Now all that's left for me to do is own the smurfing exam and I'm back in the game.

    I got a 5/10 for mine. Balls. I did sort of miss the point, but part of that was mostly because the question didn't relate to the subject at all. Took a gamble; lost. Next time I'll do better (still gonna gamble though!)

    Actually I have the opposite problem where I pick a topic that's too simple and end up not having ENOUGH to write about. I'm a real stickler for brevity, so I end up having to go back and pad it with extra . Not cool.
