First Graduate

This post is part of an ongoing series of blog entries by Anjie D (FG3), a freshman at Barnard College writing about her college experiences on the blog Uptown Girl. Here's an excerpt from "Procrastinator's Reward":

Last night I learned what happens to you when you stay up all night in an attempt to write an entire essay -- you get rewarded for your hard work. See, I stayed up until roughly 4:30 am writing the worst excuse of an academic paper in history. After I finished the page requirement, concluded the miserable thing, and cited as many pages of the texts as I could hunt down at the time, I collapsed into bed for a fitful few hours of half-sleep. I woke up in time to get ready for class - a class in which I had to co-lead a discussion of the latest texts. With only a minor mishap on the way (printing), my partner and I led a pretty successful discussion of race and education.
