There are two feelings that are the most liberating in the academic world: One is finishing a long asigment/project and handing it in, the other is deciding your just not going to bloody do it.

Guess which one the Fran is feeling right now!

The latter was me in the first half of my senior year. I didn't do one fifteen page paper and one twelve page paper, both for the same professor. The fifteen pager I wrote off completely. I just wrote down that I didn't do the work, I slacked off, I offered no excuses and I apologised for wasting his time. The twelve pager, I put down all the crap I had so far, which filled only three pages and submitted it.

Got F's on both papers but still passed the courses with C's. I guess sometimes a little honesty and accountability go a long way...
