Yes it's that time of year again - final exams start this Friday and continue through to the following Friday. Gaaah. With just a week to go until the final, one of my professors assigned a minimum eight page essay worth 30% of the overall final grade. It's political science. I don't mind writing essays at all, and usually I would find something like this a big bonus as it's worth so much of my overall grade, however I tend to spend a lot of time writing draft after draft for an essay, basically polishing until I get something that will almost certainly earn an A, but in this case I wont really have the time to do so because I have other classes I need to study for. To make matters worse, this particular professor has a reputation of being a very tough grader when it comes to essays, so a 'good attempt' will not be sufficient. Despite how it may sound, he's actually a really good guy, and the class was awesome, but still.. blah. Wish me luck - I'll most likely be needing it!
