If anyone has noticed my increased activity on hipbase, I feel the need to explain that it is for one reason: end of semester work. I am currently putting off a couple sets of unit plans that I just don't have the energy to work on any longer. Is anoyone else dealing with the final crush of work before holiday break? If so, how are the rest of the hipbasers (mis)using their time?

Good luck! :thumb:
I just finished exams a week ago and spent all of last week doing absolutely nothing, perfectioning the art of procrastination... felt absolutely great.

It's been 12 years since I had any college work to put off, but I'm in the final stages of several projects at work that need to be done and I just don't have the energy right now to complete them. Promotions and raises are just not enough to motivate me.
To compensate, I've been spending my time planning a trip to London, but the US dollar is down against the Euro and Pound so it's looking like I won't go early next year. Thinking now about NYC or SF. Oh, and surfing a number of web sites.

chancellor, it's good to hear someone is going through exactly what I am...my first final is Tuesday, and yet I find myself here at the hipbase. Campus nowdays is an awfully depressing sight...

For the first time in my life (My final year of school) I'm actually doing things before the last minute.
And I'm not kidding, I usually do things THE night before their due... all at once, no sleep till Brooklyn. Deadlines seem to be the only thing that motivate me. Procrastination is a major shortcomming for me.
Anyway, I'm finding that when you actually have time to check and re-check, proof read and edit... it makes a world of difference.
It's a 7,500, 40 page essay for a Canadian State and Social Policy class taught by a guy who's worked at all levels of government and can't be BS'd.
Which sucks... since "Baffle 'em with BS" is tattooed on my ass.
