RANDOM RANTS XXXI: I hate my job

[Joecoolyo]

I think I over did my International Relation's paper.

The rubric stated that it had to be three pages long, mine ended up being twelve.

One of my friends literally threw up after we finished our group talk today, I was on the verge of fainting during it, and we went way longer than we should've...

Needless to say, public speaking is crap and terrible and I hate it.

Loquaciousness is not a virtue.

What's the topic?

Basically choose three to five issues that you think are the most pressing to the United States today, with a heavy bias towards well, foreign policy. You then had to write "3 sections", "why this issue is important, your plan, and justification for it".

Somehow, I was supposed to cram that into three pages. Either that, or I'm taking this paper much more seriously than I'm supposed too.

Loquaciousness is not a virtue.

Like hell it isn't!

(I had to look that word up )

 

[Tee Kay]

You probably took it too seriously. Then again, summarising is a good skill to have. I don't doubt that it's good, but if too long then you won't reach as many people as you could have with a more concise work.

The sheer frisson that results in the utilisation of sesquippedalian lexis is sadly both momentary and meretricious.

my sense of time failed me. i thought it was 630 in the evening, but it actually was in the morning.

I once wrote a 9-page paper on a single album and that was actually shorter than it was intended to be. Ran out of time before I ran out of words.

12 for a paper that was supposed to be three pages? My teachers wouldn't even read beyond the three first pages

I wrote a 50 page short history handbook about Medieval and Ottoman Bosnia.

Sesquipedalian has only one 'p'. Get it right man.

you people are magical. i am unable to do long essays like that, often topping otu at 5 or less pages... even if the essay was on Byzantium.

I'm the type of person who can answer a yes-no question with a three paragraph exposition when its about my subject.

Yeah, if somebody handed a 12 page paper to me after I assigned a 3 pager, no way I'm reading the last 9 pages.

 

[Rub'Rum]

I'd probably read the first 3 pages, then scan the rest quickly (like, very quickly), and read the conclusion.

You're supposed to be a copyreader. Son, I am disappoint.

Yeah, at some point in your paper-writing career, you'll realize that it isn't actually hard to write a lot of words on some topic, but it's hard to determine the most powerful and useful ones.

I'm so lazy because of it being the end of the year. Agh.
