If nothing else, the Oxford tutorial method is teaching me how to write a 7 page essay in 7 hours. It's hard to say if the essays are any good, however. They sound OK when I am 30 minutes late emailing them to the professor, but that could just be the optimisim of a procrastinator finally out of time. My professor did write on my first paper that it was "quite good for my first try." Depending on how you look at it, that's either a complement or a statement that there was plenty of room for improvement. Maybe it was both. I haven't gotten my second paper back, which is a little odd. I am thinking it is lining my tutor's bird's cage. Does he have a bird? Perhaps he has a puppy needing to be potty trained.

Anyway, I don't have that sick feeling I had prior to writing my last two papers, and really had no anxiety about the fact that I had more reading to do than could ever be done even a few hours ago. So it took me 3 hours to read the case I am evaluating. Meh. There's plenty of time to write a mediocre paper before 11:00 am.
