Busyness

One of the most frustrating segments of the college lifestyle is the one or two weeks per semester when all big papers from each class accumulate and get dropped on you at once. I mean come on people, there is nothing real world about that. You don't really have down time, then "heart attack time". Its very brutal to deal with. I am sitting here, blogging obviously, and I have so much shit to do this week that it makes me feel physically ill thinking about it. Here's what should happen:

• students could be better served if the school year was longer by one week, but included in regular time would be a fall break and a few more select days off.
• teachers could give students deadlines not as absolute entry points, but rather as suggestions for time to have work completed by.
• all classes should either be attendence or non-attendence based, but not one or the other.
• Assignments could be due all at once-the week before finals-so teachers could have the rest of the semester to grade them.

Obviously this would be totally sweet for all parties involved, but there would be too many students falling off the wagon by October. I am writing this in hopes that my assignments will get more complete with every word I pen. (not happening...)
