Seven double-spaced pages of pretentious BS about the creation of American racial and class consciousness against the framework of a designated "other," and the construction of white American identity via print media in two hours. With an introduction and conclusion.
I am the woman.
Now let's just hope that my history professor doesn't think I cheated and took extra time (no, really, sir, I can generate BS quickly. Online fandom has taught me how to meta and wank on a dime. And my prose is always laden with subordinate clauses and SAT vocab words).
And then I sent off my two discussion questions (generated without reading more than the introduction and conclusion of the book, but I don't think that's evident), a little late, but I can blame that on the midterm I emailed in thirty minutes before sending in the questions.
And then I proofread a friend's 31-page historiography paper (my sister is now giving random Air Force officers my email address as a paper consultant. We ought to charge money). Said Air Force friend can work with high explosives and fly an F-15, but he cannot use a semicolon correctly--it's always one word past where it should be, ex: "Friedman elaborates on Foucalt's theories however; he disagrees with him on the potential longevity of the Iranian Revolution." Clearly, the "blow shit up" part of the human brain is not connected to the "how to punctuate" part.
I am a whirlwind of academic industry. Hopefully, I can bang out a five-page literature review for archives class just as easily tomorrow night. If not, I'm screwed, since it's due Wednesday and I put if off to study for the history exam.
