Poll question: Where did everyone go?
For the past 5 years it seems that if you left DU for a few minutes there'd be hundreds of new threads up in every forum. Lately it seems if you put up a thread, it will most likely sit for most of the day or night on the front page.

6. Yeah, I just got home from my first.
And am now working on the take-home exam that's due tomorrow. Kinda wish I hadn't procrastinated so much on that one, but oh well.

7. Advice from an old guy: Procrastination has always worked for me. Nothing like
deadline panic to get those creative juices flowing. Redstone

10. Honestly, it works for me too.
My professor gave back our major paper for the course as we left our exam tonight. I wrote the paper in two consecutive all-nighters, but managed an A. I hate the feeling of deadline panic, but it seems to do the trick.

12. There's something about a deadline that stimulates creativity.
At least for some of us. Redstone

2. Currently, I'm enjoying a good beating...
at my computer. I'm like luggage, I get kicked and tossed about, but I still hold my shape. And quite frankly I feel like the entire world hates me at the moment.

11. I'll take it only in the spirit in which it was offered. No misinterpretations
from me, kiddo. You're safe in understanding that. Redstone

13. Sorry my head is hurting so much with this project that I can't think past a word or two.
But I'm nearly done. Woohoo!

18. I was killed in a tragic hunting accident in New York.
At least, that's the word going around amongst people that expected letters from me ages ago, so it should apply here too.
