My Poor, Poor Knee

I had my yearly check up with my doctor. I learned much. I also got a shock, I discovered that I dislocated my right knee cap, probably when I was in 7th grade. I got my first non-dental x-ray. It explains a lot about the various pain in my knee. I also was able to get an inhaler, which I have been without for years. Also I learned that my crazy reaction to my birth control pills was not overly uncommon, and I also was able to get the brand of birth control changed, hopefully that will help. Of course I got my flu shot, I need it for work, I don't want to get the flu. That is my doctor visit in a nut shell...the whole thing took pret-near 3 hours.

Papers

Today I was thinking about what I need to accomplish for the end of the semester in just over a month...I count (hopefully without missing any) no less than 6 papers which I have to write, not including essay exams. Some of these papers are short two page papers others are up to 7 pages in length. My question brought on by this surge of papers is why do they all have to due at the end of the semester, why can't they be spread out. Of course that also brings up the point that I could spread them out myself, which I have been working at, but this semester I have already written several papers (I think 4). I don't know why I decided to take 3 history classes this semester, while it has been fun it is gonna be a ton of work in the next 4 weeks.
