IR Term Paper

So I had to write a 6,000 word term paper for my class in IR. I have to admit that I find this a little strange as the paper is only 4,000 words shorter than the max and 2,000 more than the thesis.

I wrote about non-state actors. Particularly human rights organizations and how the Internet could be helping them network and thus work more effectively to stop abuses. While, this is happening there are also some cases where the government also uses the Internet to oppress the citizens.

So I turned it in and now I am waiting to get it back. For some reason I would like an instant response. Even though I put it in the box earlier today I still think I should have it back about now all graded and ready to hand back.

This is not the way things work though. I am still waiting to get my book report back from Professional Skills I turned that in on the 29th of September. So they have had it for a while. Also it would be nice to have before the exam. Tomorrow is the last day of Professional Skills and I am thrilled about this. I really have not enjoyed the class. Then on the 20th is the exam. All those readings I sort of didn't do are going to be no fun.
