Fuck. I gotta write two essays before Tuesday

[OlegL]

No, the third essay could be written about anything as long as it mentioned examples from the writings we studied since the midterm. I already submitted it. But now I am writing the essay whose topic is "what is the emergence of the modern?" It's a take home final exam that I am supposed to submit today before 7 PM EST. It's almost 1 pm now, but I only wrote 156 words in that essay. He wants us to write at least 750 words for this particular essay.

You need that spark which will ignite the furnace of learning.

Sometimes it's just a gas leak.

You may just explore writing freely about ANYTHING that comes to mind (do not wory about spelling, punctuation, order, or structure) for 15 minutes. The only rule is that you do not stop typing/writing for that entire time. Set a timer and make yourself write whatever comes to mind. Take a few minutes before reviewing, then examine what you have. Some parts will need to be discarded, others can be used.

Consider it a brain dump. When you get stuck, sometimes you have to break out of the rut. Since you have 3 papers, you may end up with thoughts on each- just remember to not plagiarize yourself and use the same writing on more than one assignment.

Write. Write. Write. Right? Right!

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

I just made that up.

Of course some fires are infernos and some are a bunch of damp moss smoldering away into nothingness. Draw your own conclusions here.

I just made that "damp moss" bit up too.

Education is either yanking semen from a cock, drawing sap from a tree, or pulling teeth from a tadpole. The subject must be willing and capable.

You were trying to describe intellect.

I submitted the essay, so the semester is over. Let's hope the instructor will give me a better grade than a D for this class.

Hopefully, you didn't turn in the brain dump I suggested. That's just for early-stage writing, not finalized stuff.

In Oleg's case it is less of a brain dump and more a case of evacuating his bowels on paper.....

By the way (btw), you failed to mention which Tuesday these two essays had to be in by. I assume that school will close for Christmas, and that the first Tuesday of January is still a international holiday, leaving the second, third and fourth Tuesdays of January, plus those that will appear during the period of February to December 2014, and those of 2015, 2016 and 2017, by which time you should know whether you have passed or failed. Mind you, they may ask you to re-submit your essays, in which case you will probably get an extension that covers 2018 and 2019 (and maybe even 2020, by which time your eyesight should be more or less perfect).

I submitted the third essay on December 17, which was Tuesday.
