Binks Is Here

Commentary on the World

Glad it’s over… for now

Wow, what a whirlwind the last week or two have been.

Here’s what my schedule looked like:

Friday, March 3rd - Philosophy midterm

Saturday, March 4th - Erin up for the weekend

Monday, March 6th - Speech Communication Persuasive Speech

Tuesday, March 7th - Econ 101 Midterm

Thursday, March 9th - Criminology Midterm

Friday, March 10th - Getting picked up and brought to Erin’s house (with only one car in the family now, getting up to Erins is very difficult, so I need to take the opportunity when I can get it)

Monday, March 13th - Legal Studies Essay Due - I worked on this one all night on Thursday, to finally finish it up. 7 pages and it’s worth 50% of my mark in that class.

As the crowning moment, I realized that I had done that essay WRONG the first time. It had said in the sylabus to choose two criminal theories, and for each of three options given, you would study three crimes from his book (then you relate the crimes to the theories). That’s all well and good, except from the three options, I picked two - but each option came with two criminal theories.

Bottom line, instead of doing two criminal theories and three crimes, I did four criminal theories and six crimes. This ment that in my 7 page double spaced essay, I had very, very little detail on each section, so on that Monday night, I told my prof and he gave me an extension. That ate up a lot of free time during my next week, because I had to rewrite most of the essay. But, it got done, back to more normalcy this week.

All I have to worry about now are finals in two weeks.
