Drafting and outlining.

Okay class we are at that point where we are going downhill.  Unit 6 and our first draft is now upon us.  I don't know about you but I want to go ahead and start that now.  I am sure some of you have already finished it.  I am sometimes a procratinator.  I have two papers to finish within the next 4 weeks, I know it will not be easy but I also know I can do it.  I want to wish you all the best of luck.  I hate writing.  This has always been a challenge for me.  EVERYONE!  PRAY FOR ME!   LOL.

Citations

Giving someone credit for their work is very important.  I would hate for someone to get into serious trouble for stealing an idea from the original author.  If you are in school or on the job; make sure you give credit where credit is due, or you will find yourself fired from your job, or expelled from school.  In some cases the person who is doing the stealing can find themself in court being sued.  Remember, if you did not do it or say it first; make sure your readers or listeners know where you got it from.  Remember, who said it and when did they say it.

THESIS

     The hardest thing for me to do is write a research paper.  I can never get the thesis right.  Guess what?  This week I have to write two thesis statements.  I feel like the world just caved in on me.  Someone give me a shovel so i can dig my way out.  SERIOUSLY!

Just Thinking

It is 7:49 A.M.  Oct. 1, 2010.  I have to post to the discussion board in my composition class.  I am required to select 2 topics and do 3 different searches on them, and I have no idea where to start.  This research paper is always a pain to me.  Any ideas?
