I had 10 days to complete hs102 journal and hw101 assignment and I didn't. The deadline is tomorrow. All I have is 11 hours left. I really ought to be shot.

I have a serious problem with the word "culture". To the layman, it means everything and anything. From a sociological perspective, we need to find some tangible evidence for this intangible phenomena. And I had such a fabulous time contradicting myself with every single point that I came up with for the journal that my brains are about to explode. I typed three quarters of a page long and decided to change all my points and deflect to the other camp instead. Before I got down to doing so, I changed my mind again and decided to stick to what I had written. So now all I'm left with is to expand my points. In my attempt to be reflexive (note: attempt), I ended up writing 200 words on Singlish and half the time I had one sentence disagreeing with the next which disagrees with the next next. Oh shit.

And I have yet to even define "culture". WOW I'm great, ain't I. Right now, the first line in my paper is this "Culture is DEFINE." Yeah, I'm waiting for myself to fill it in. And the current final line reads "CONCLUSION. A rose by any other name is still a rose. BLAHBLAH."

I shall pray very hard that my final piece does not become contrived and hope very hard that by some miracle I can get an A-. Okay, at least a B+. Pretty please!

I spent so much time on this journal that I didn't really spend any on the 2000-word essay (19 days to the deadline!). Weightage in my final grade?
per journal= 3% and essay=25%

I so ought to shoot myself.



I love Wikipedia!
