Advice Needed

Okay, here's the problem. I have a class on the history of television that I've done no work in. Right now my grade in that class is a 0. It doesn't really matter though, because 95% of the grade comes from a 20-page term paper that is due on Friday by noon at the absolute latest. I have not started the aformentioned paper. Here's the thing. I cut a deal with my counselor so that no matter what grades I get this semester, I'll get to keep my scholarship in the fall. The thing is, I'll still have to bring my GPA up to a certain point by the end of the fall to keep my scholarship for the spring. Obviously if I fail this class that will be harder to do than if I pass it. But at the same time, I just don't want to kill myself writing this thing. If you think I should write the paper, please give me an idea of what I should write it on. Possible topics include the progression of women's roles in television, the cultural significance of theme songs, etc.

I don't know what you should write it on, but I know you should write it.

you've done no work but have you gone to class?

if not then don't write it. you'll get a horrible grade either way

The sad thing is I only missed three or four classes. I just didn't write any of the assigned papers. If I write this paper then I'll definitely make at least a B, the teacher is awesome and lenient.

i disagree. i majored in broadcasting and classes like this are notorious for how little you need to actually go and pay attention to pull off a 20 page paper. this is how i got through college, writing these things at the last minute.

is creativity an option with this guy? my 4-page paper on different types of news was a 4-page script of 4 hitmen arguing about the newspaper vs. cnn. it wrote itself in like an hour.

i have no topic ideas right now, but when you settle on one post it and i'll see if i have any info for ya.

good luck

Ralph Kramden was bald?
Alice Kramden was beautiful?

There must've been a re-make I didn't see...

(I can't find a decent job because I didn't go to college. Do you mean to tell me I'm getting beat out in the job market by guys who took classes on the HISTORY OF TELEVISION??? That makes him more qualified for a job than me???)

Wasn't he bald? I thought he was, maybe it's 'cause he always wore his cap you couldn't tell.

Either way, Alice was definitely out of his league. But think about it. Show me a good looking husband and an ugly wife on TV? Show me a good looking husband AND wife on TV? I can't think of any. The husband is almost always ugly, the wife is almost always good-looking.
