*Gulp*

            Monday was the day that it hit me. I only had seven days to research and complete the Conspiracy Theory assignment. Needless to say, my parasympathetic system went into overdrive. I guess i never realized the scope of this project until the midnight Friday. Still, I only have positive thoughts about this project. Its definitely a refreshing assignment-- i've never played detective or professional stalker before. Plus, now i know the purpose behind all those inclass discussions. They serve to familiarize students with modern web-related conveniences. While those discussions were informative and emphasized a different learning style than what i'm used to, i have come to realize that this project is the test. The test of our understanding and our ability to convert that understanding into writing. Do i like the project or the class any less than last week? Not really. I just wish i had gotten the wake up call sooner than the Monday before the due date.  Either that or a more organized work calender. While i do realize that the student should bare the responsibility of organizing a work schedule given the due dates and not the teacher, this newfound freedom is well,....new. To take a positive spin on this whole situation: this assignment is another opportunity to brush up on time management skills while learning about this scary, fast-paced-sometimes-heinous world called the internet.
