Here's the thing. I'm graduating in a month. In order to graduate, I need only complete my 496 Senior Seminar. I also decided to take three other classes "for fun." I recently received the Academic Distinction Award. I've been writing sufficient papers for the nine years I've been in college (off and on). Now, I'm receiving a B in Sherry's class and a C! in Berkhout's class. Sherry tells our class last Thursday: "Some of you are going to have to learn how to write a paper very soon." Now, if I'm one of those students to which he is referring, I'm in big trouble. How am I to learn how to write a paper in the last month of my academic career? And how to I expect to make it in a career which demands the same? What's a girl to do? I mean, I'm almost 30 (in a couple years) and I haven't even begun to embark on a "real" career. And if I cannot even perform to the best of my abilities, how much more schooling will I have to endure to feel competent enough to begin a career? Sometimes ambition sucks...
