I have to have my constitutional law paper (2500-3500 words) done by the 12th. I've got about 600 words done so far, but it was basically all introductory stuff and now I have to write the real meat of it, which I'm not confident about. And I didn't get anything done yesterday because I was sick.
The draft of my US History research paper on the civil rights movement (10-15 pages if I recall correctly) has to be done by the 18th. I feel completely lost on this - I don't care much about the topic (it was assigned, not chosen) and the books I ended up with aren't very useful (despite being on the list of acceptable sources the professor gave us).
I'm not the type of person who can write a paper in one sitting. I prefer to plug away at them little by little over a period of days and weeks, and this semester I'm running way behind schedule. They'll have to get done somehow, but I'm seriously stressed and yet at the same time oddly unmotivated. Please pray for me.
