An Advocate for Extended Deadlines!

When I am drowning in the sea of homework, papers, snow make-up assignments and complex fractions, one extended deadline is all I need to save me from sinking. Ms. Frailly lengthening the time to finish our paper was like one of those round red-and-white striped life preservers in the middle of the ocean. I knew that I was going to be in for some long nights after it snowed on Wednesday, but I may be able to afford a few hours of sleep somewhere in the chaos. I am so glad that we have a little while longer to work on our papers. Because it seems that no matter how hard or long that I work on this paper, it just doesn’t seem done! Grr! I feel as though writing a paper is a never ending process, a hard-core marathon with no finish line. The only time it is ever ‘complete’ is when we hand it in to Ms. Frailly to be graded. And after that I still feel as though something else could have been adjusted, or maybe my topic sentence should have been clearer.

  1. Hey Sydni! I hear your anguish... but I think your paper is coming along quite nicely. You've have something going; but I guess we can help each other out more tomorrow... have a great day, its soooo pretty outside, go out and write some, get out of the house!
