I once pumped out a fifteen page paper in about 2 hours. Even got an A.

I am back in school going for a Masters and I have to write a 30-page paper at the end of this one course I am taking. I am not going to procrastinate... already have about 6 pages and it isn't due for 7 weeks.

Getting a good grade is much more important to me than when I was 18. :p

I've got a 4-page paper to write for Wednesday. On a 200+ page book that I've not had time to start reading yet. Last week was absolutely killer and I slacked off this weekend. So I get to read as much of that as I can, then write a paper. Grrrr.

I haven't proofread it or anything. That's the first draft.

4 pages? Hah. I completely B.S'd a 12 page paper on Ruth Suckow without having read anything on her other than just a short bio on the web in just 2.5 hours. Got a B+.

Heh, I wrote a 15 page paper in 6 hours with a half case of beer and wrote it on someone else's computer (didn't have one of my own at the time). Turned it in, got a 95 and pissed off the person who's computer I used...he got an 80 and spent 2 weeks on it.

Topic was "Is Patriotism a Virtue" for Poly Sci Research Methods. :)
