The week before finals week is always dreaded because of the impending doom off all the final projects being due. Immediately after that week we have to turn around and worry about finals. The last two weeks of the semester is always the most stressful time of the year. Students pulled many all nighters to work on homework, projects, and study for finals. We all try to cram everything to the last possible minute. A lot of procrastinators, like me, suffer the most putting the most stress on ourselves. However, even though I have done the same thing that I have done every semester by leaving it all to the end. This semester I feel barely stressed at all. I have two finals during finals week and a bunch of projects due the week before. For example, I have three projects due tomorrow in my sign language class. After I finish all of those and turn them in I will feel a huge amount of stress lift off of my shoulders. Then after tomorrow I feel for the first time I will be able to coast through the rest of the semester with ease. All my other semesters I have always been stressed at the end so I think it is about time I won't be buried alive with stress.

You will understand the importance of revision and sharing your work to be critiqued even if you don't like it. These two classes will expand what you thought writing was and it will make writing the never ending amounts of papers seem relatively easy for you. To make a comparison to what this will be ...
