This weekend I have had so much homework. We have our L.A. project, Sludge liquids and then regular math homework. When ever I have a lot of homework like this I break it down into small pieces and estimate how much time it will take me to complete it. I realize that this is a little strange but it makes me feel like I'm getting more done because it never takes me as long as I thought it would. I have already done my math homework and I'm blogging right now so that's out of the way but with my L.A project and Sludge left I have about seven and a half hours left! This is crazy, especially since I have a lot done on both assignments. I'm also kind of freaking out because some of my grades are lower than I want them to be and there is almost no way I can get them up. One of these grades is for WWW.LA. I wrote a paper on Charles Schulz (the creator of Charlie Brown) and I got a B, an 83 to be exact. This was one of my favorite papers I had ever written and I thought it was really good but since I didn't have in-text citations I had 10 percent taken off my final grade. David and I both had this problem and we are both really, really, really mad about this because we both could have gotten A's. I'm mostly upset because I received a much lower grade than I should have because I had written eight and a half pages of my best writing but almost none of the rubric was based on how well written the paper was. I know that an 83 isn't a bad grade but I think that my paper was worth at least a 90, it just stinks to know that I worked on this paper for over two months and I get 10 points taken off for such a in-text citations.

Usually I plan out how much time everything will take too. It helps me manage my homework :)

If it makes you feel any better, I got a 94 on my WWW.LA paper. Haha and I always get a ton of homework!
