In the past two days I have finished a 1200 page (more like 1100 pages if you discount the chapter intro and summary nonsense and footnotes) textbook, as well as a few hundred pages of outside reading...

In preparation for the final I have at 9 am-- which is in three and a half hours.

This is kind of silly because I haven't actually had the final yet-- but I have an enormous sense of relief and excitement to be done with the reading! It was so overwhelminggggg. (Academic papers suck. Bullshit writing meant to obscure meaning, and not intended to share ideas or educate people, just to give the author importance in their narrow academic circle.)

The terrible thing is that I have to go back through my notes and memorize so much shit for the non-essay part of the exam, because this is-- art history. And it's obnoxious because about half the final is staring at slide after slide of paintings and writing down the title, painter, date, and significance of the work. Ugh. So much memorizing. .______.

I have the urge to wildly celebrate the accomplishment of reading and understanding all of that, but I am short on time and must make sure to memorize the cold hard facts-- so I am posting my enthusiasm on TL to get it out-- and back to studying.

Gl to everyone else dealing with finals!

Not all papers are like that, there are plenty of authors who write well written informative papers. I guess it may depend on your field.

I also found that I felt more relieved after I finished studying for an exam than after the actual exam itself.

Good luck in your finals

Well, ok not all, lol. But unfortunately the majority of shit I have to read is that way. :/ I enjoy a well constructed academic paper that can communicate what it has to say clearly and effectively so that an intelligent person who takes time to think about it can come away with a good understanding of the author's ideas and arguments used to support them.

The papers I have read that are more recent for this art class have been aggrandized, convoluted spectacles on paper making all kinds of claims without bothering to either explain the reasoning or provide examples as supporting evidence. It annoys the crap out of me lulz.
