The Finish

The final days are upon us and I can see the light at the en of the tunnel. But this week is definitely a huge road block. I have an 8-10 page paper due Thursday, our Edis test Thursday, a group presentation Thursday, an assignment in another class due Friday as well as a composition due Friday. This week is, to say the least, hectic. I feel like I'm struggling right about now. I made sure to start my paper Sunday. I haven't made as much progress on it as I wanted to by last night, but it's a start and will make my Wednesday afternoon/night that much easier. The paper is for my Mass Media and American Politics class. For my paper, I am going to focus on several ads from the 2012 political campaign and I must relate the ads to the readings and information we have learned throughout the semester. I always knew things went into ads but I didn't really Know until this class. Literally everything goes into each ad, figuring out what demographic you want it to target, what part of the nation it targets, who you want presented in the ad, whether it being the president or a surrogate that will help voters vote for the candidate due to their association with them. Needless to say, I have a lot of work ahead of me. Linking readings and articles to my paper, but it could be worse. At least it's interesting. If I can knock out most of the paper tonight, formulating my ideas onto paper and at least start finding readings to correlate I should be in good shape and on progress to save me a ton of stress Wednesday night since I still have so much else I need to work on. But I hope everyone else doesn't have too much work these next few days, and if you do just make sure to manage your time correctly so we can get through it all. Realize how close we are to being done so lets just get it over with.
