One of my final exams for the semester was to write a paper for my existentialism class. The topic was to pick two philosophers (either Sartre, Beauvoir, and/or Fanon) and write about their takes on freedom and responsibility. I thought, this'll be no problem.
Result: I did a lot of research for it, as I usually do when I write papers. I spend little time on writing the actual paper. Well, I spent a majority of the week watching every episode of Battlestar Galactica; I knew that I would not be able to really focus on studying for finals if I knew I hadn't watched every episode. So I watched every episode. But I didn't finish that until late Sunday night, and this paper was due Tuesday morning at 9:30.
I stayed up until about 2am working on writing the paper (which I didn't actually start to do until about 1030pm or so). It was to be 5-7 pages, and I only got to the top of page 4 before I decided to call it a night and wake up early in the morning to finish it. I hate writing papers last minute, but I couldn't stay up any longer. Being tired sucks, especially when you have a paper due soon.
