The Longest Paper you\'ve written in the shortest amount of time
 
What's the most you've written in your college career in a one-day or two-day period? Ten pages? Twenty pages? Five essays?

stories appreciated

although i did research, number crunching, planning, etc, in advance, I did not start writing the paper until 3-4 days before the due date. the report ended up being about 40 pages long. (facilities design class)

one or two day period? weak.

over the two day period starting this morning and ending monday morning, i have to have written a 15 page lab report (hardcore nonbullshitable engineering, but diagrams take up a third of the space) (haven't started), a 10 page engineering design document for a hypothetical project which I have to give an oral presentation on monday afternoon (havent started), read a [censored] for an operating systems test (have not been to class since last test and missed a pop quiz so i need to do well), as well as write Blackjack in java for algs III (have started the GUI but have virtually zero java experience so its slow).

i can and have pulled 6 pages an hour for a bullshitable humanities course without having done the reading. papers should be measured in hours, not days.

edit: all the while maintaining a 3.9 gpa.

I have 15 pages to write, although I also have to do a little reading while/before I'm writing, and split between two essays (10 pager and 5er). I"m starting now, o/u on when I'll finish both of them? Be happy to take like a $10 prop bet to motivate myself, anyone interested?

k, how about by 5 pm tomorrow for both of them?

keep in mind
-neither is easily bs-able. require knowledge of subject/books, and I still have to read/review 100+ pages of reading for parts of the paper
-i don't plan on rushing like a maniac bc I want them to be good, but I do want to finish asap so I can do other stuff

stars $ is cool
