At the beginning of the year, lots of sophomores were in AP US History. Now that I think about it, I probably should not be in it because I have no interest in history, and it is only making things harder. I still like the class nonetheless. We were told that we had to write a ten page paper that was due about six months later, so no one cared at the moment and of course everyone, including myself, put it off for later. It was so easy to put off because of Biology Honors last year. Mostly every sophomore in AP US History was in Biology Honors last year, where we had to write about a twenty five page paper. This ten page paper was surely going to only pose the slightest of challenges.
Here we are, the weekend before the paper is due, and everyone is getting nervous. I can hardly deal with the stress. I cannot find any good sources, and the one that I do have is not very good. Starting early definitely would have been a good idea. A major obstacle that sets this paper apart from the biology paper is the format. Chicago style format is new to everyone, and it just makes the whole process more difficult and irritating. MLA, which we are familiar with, is easier than Chicago with the footnotes and whatnot.
The APUSH rough draft thesis paper is due the Monday we return from the three-day weekend, and I have to lay down the law over myself and absolutely focus without procrastination or distractions.
