And not it a good way...

I have anthropology paper due by 1pm today(Wednesday) and I have nothing, I have been googling, reading and searching all day but have nothing. I don't really understand my topic, and we have to come up with a page of things and debate them in class.

This sucks, I really want to get good grades this term and bring my GPA up but sometimes it just feels like things are against me.

sigh...guess its back to the drawing board. :(

EDIT: I didn't procrastinate this paper, it was assigned monday and I have spent the better part of today/early morning researching it.

The only thing that is against you is yourself, for procrastinating to this point. I'm sorry, but that's just the way that it is.

there is some truth in that - but at the same time, who HASN'T procrastinated with an essay or preparation for a test. everyone has been in this situation.

I said I was having trouble understanding the paper and researching the right way, not multitasking, you apparently have enough free time on your hands to monitor my activity. I'll PM you the paper topic and maybe you can help?

I have to do something called a moot in class, I was given the side of " Negative impact of Cultural change in non western cultures."

"Negative impact..." of WHAT? Or is your "on" supposed to be an "of"?

Is there a particular interval of history that the prof is concerned with?

No, the topic was just assigned as stated above, we just finished a book called the gebusi. I think assignment influence is drawn from that but not the focus of the assignment.

I feel for ya, I noticed a post by another user. Stating how much of a bitch it is when you stay up still 4am studying/doing homework then you sleep through the class and don't get credit.
