A Completely Unrelated Series of Thoughts.. part 4

I'm taking a "floating holiday" for Friday.  That means an actual 3 day weekend, yay.  A 3 day weekend filled with a horse show and lots of extra work preparing for it, being at it, and getting caught up at home after it.
My weekends suck!

[captain_nintendo]

Hopefully you,Scott and myself can go out "hunting" or something in the next few weekends.

I agree even about Zac.  

Yea, Where is Zac?  We all miss him!!!  

[TraderJake]

If I was truly evil, I'd through his name out on the front page of the website in my next update. Hell, I'd throw out the names of many old members who don't post on the site anymore.

Hopefully, these people who were once a vital part of this community will take the time to come back around and say hi. Hell, maybe they'll stay a while too.

I get friday off because i DO go to a religious school.

Yay Private School!

Past students of Private School Represent!

Or...

I went to Private School and all I got was a crappy scholarship and admission to UC.

If I only knew I was going to major in Engineering in 2002 rather than that crappy, crappy, chemistry.

Private school wooo.....

Not so enthused about it.

Technically "better" than public school.

All in all i would have prefered going to public school and taking all the cash it cost to send me here and putting it in the bank or just spending it out right.
Would have gotten MUCH more use out of it.

[TraderJake]

See, here in the nasty nati, especially where I live, going to Private School is almost expected, and if you do not go to private (Catholic) school you are looked down upon. It's almost like a caste system here on the West Side.

So, Nintendo's pretty awesome, eh?

I sure think so!

[TraderJake]

I still hold that you are secretly dead.

PS: VIVA LE REVOLUTION!

ZOMBIE CFB!
SFS hunt him down!
Use all your online Zombie erradication training!

*yawn*
After a decent night sleep i'm waking up to continue my english paper.
I have to finish it by 1:30 pm at the latest so i can print it put it together and then run it over to school.

Taking a day offof school is so much more fun when your not trying like hell to finish 20%(or more) of your grade in any given class.

[captain_nintendo]

Good luck Anthony!

[Izret101]

Thanks.

I just found out that there is alot more to do for this than i had previously thought too.
Bibliography
and a
Works cited

Whats the difference?

If i have to use parenthetical documentation(which i haven't done yet) why do i also have to do a Works Cited?
I hate english...

[Pop Culture Portal]

In Works Cited you only list items you have actually cited. In a Bibliography you list all of the material you have consulted in preparing your essay whether or not you have actually cited the work.

In other words, when you directly quote a sentence, paragraph, section, or whatever in a book, that's when you use the parenthetical documentation, and then list that book quoted from in your Works Cited section.

The parenthetical documentation is used to cite the items listed in the Works Cited section.  Works Cited can also be refered to a References.  Pretty clear, huh?  

Yeah, to me, Works Cited and Bibliography are the same thing.  But I remember from my college days that some professors can be real wack-jobs, so no telling what they'll expect.

Good luck.  I feel your pain.  I was an English major in college (among other things).

Is that why you do 2 spaces at the begining of each sentance generally
I have heard that is the proper way to type a paper.
It has helped be add at least one extra line of text to my paper so far lol
I love when large words are at the end of a typed line

Thanks for the info too.
I forgot i grabbed a copy of Writers Inc. from the school library.
An excellent resource for writing info and we were required to buy it freshman year.
Of course by sophmore year only half the students still have them.
And most of them have duplicates because they stole them from a teacher or open locker or found them in a classroom lol

Luckily my bibliography is going to be huge. I am just taking a TON of boks and putting them down.
Unfortunately works cited is going to end up just being 5ish sources used over and over.
I have pretty much said everything i needed to in approx 3 typed pages.
So now i am trying to just expound upon it or just make up new stuff as i go and hope that when i cross check it at least most of it is true.

I have artistic license since i am taking on the persona of another human being anyways
