I'm such a fake.

It's 1:30 in the morning. I am writing a 3-5 page paper over a book I haven't even read. I basically read the introduction, the first chapter, the first sentence of every big paragraph, and the last paragraph of the book. And here I sit, typing up all the knowledge I gained about the Reagan administration, which I never really gained because I didn't read the book. I hope my professor doesn't read this blog. But more importantly I hope I can pull this paper off.

Haha, I can totally understand your predicament! I didn't read finish any of the 15 books assigned in my honors colloqium (the history of American medicine, bleck!). I skimmed one, but I think at least five I never even had in my posession. I bought one and then checked the rest out from the library so I had them for class discussion. And ya know what? I got an A in that class. It's scary how easy it is to get by without reading the material ...

I did that once in the hardest history class I ever had, and still got the best grade of the semester (105..extra crdeit!!), and still passed with a 4.0gpa in that class. It can be done!
