I feel like celebrating. The assignment that I slaved over for a week - since that was all the time I was given - pulled all nighter twice, skipped a couple of classes and even one shift of work for has pay off. Before you start on why I should prepare it better and avoid doing all of the above or it's just a measly 95, let me state that it was a Research paper. Research paper is the ban of my existence. First I have to rack my brain to think up of thesis, transition sentences, catchy intro, then the hours and hours of research. And after all of that, I ended up using barely a quarter of what I found.

Then onto the writing, fitting all the ideas I managed to retain - my mind felt like a sieve, unable to hold on to all the wonderful ideas I had - is like taking a sledgehammer to a puzzle because the pieces don't fit properly. Not that I can't write wonderful papers, I can. It's just that each page will take me more than 24 hours and it will feel like I'm writing with my blood, pure torture. And let not forget grammar, tenses, and word choice mistakes that I always made. Those tend to kill my paper if it wasn't for the critical thinking and any other saving grace it has. Did I mention that it's a single space only paper?

But it's over and done with. Yes, yes, yes! That was 20% of my grade and on the traditional grading scale of 90, 80, 70, losing only 1% is a huge relief. I should celebrate by buying that pretty bento box. *nod**nod* It's only reasonable.
