The longest paper I've probably ever written at SCU is 6 pages, but even that's lying because I probably made it 5.25 pages if the minimum was 6. And I think that's weird. In high school, I wrote the same amount but in college, it appears they like my concise BS and I guess the grades reflect that. I don't get how people can write so much. I always start running out of stuff near the end. (Or I start running out of time. You know me, the procrastinator. Finishing a paper 5 minutes before class). I feel like I just start repeating stuff.



Anyway, now I'm in the process of finishing up a near-30 page document for our senior design project. Granted, I haven't worked on all the stuff by myself and there are pictures, but still. It's nearly 30 pages. And yes, a lot of it looks like marketing hyperbole, but still. Nearly 30 pages. That's 5 times more than I've ever done.



I know, I know. All you graduate students and doctoral candidates and what not probably write 30 pages every so often or whatever (maybe I just have this false perception that they write a lot), but for me as an engineering student, that's a whole lot of tree.



And now I'm just dragging along this blog, huh.
