LMAO

Seriously, some teachers nitpick over the slightest thing. Fortunately, this instructor is a lot more leniant. She listed page requirements in the rubrics for each assignment, and in the course syllabus but told us directly that she honestly didn't care about page count and as long as we had the content, we would be fine but that if you really think about just getting in as much good content and detail as possible, that the pages sort of just make themselves and she had a point because that is what happened with these two papers.
They had to be the least painful papers I've ever written, and I GASP dare I say - enjoyed them?
It's crazy.
Then again we were allowed to choose our topics and only had to basically answer a set of questions as the most basic guideline. That helped a helluva lot, as most other teachers give assignments that are so ******** vague.

Damnatus When did I owe Jello a post? Besides always owing him a post. You don't, other than those ones that are never going to be made... ever. I'm waiting on 1 from JB (on vacation for the next week... but I replied like 2-3 weeks ago anyways), 2 from Maxi (though he was on vacation all -last- week and hasn't posted since like last Friday/Saturday), and probably another one somewhere. Meanwhile most of my time has been spent playing Phoenix Wright and SINS.

Sins of an Angel Ohhhh yes. Do I wish. Unfortunately, APA is like, GOD in my school. FFFFFFFF- ******** your periods and your italics and your precise five spaces before the page number. What the ******** is that? Seriously? Are you going to really mark me off if my page number is exactly 5 spaces from the shortened title? Give me a break. It's awful s**t. It just updates so frequently with the most minor things. I get having a standard to go by, especially in research to make it as professional as possile, but having to constantly be on the lookout for changes is just a pain in the a**. It took my teacher 3 hours to help me figure out whether I needed a running head or not because a bunch of books (even two of them from 2009) had conflicting information. What on earth are you writing for that you have to utilize APA format, by the way?

Rising Hourglass It's awful s**t. It just updates so frequently with the most minor things.

It took my teacher 3 hours to help me figure out whether I needed a running head or not because a bunch of books (even two of them from 2009) had conflicting information. What on earth are you writing for that you have to utilize APA format, by the way? Ugh. Tell me about it, like five ******** books all tell you something different. XD It's ridiculous and then teachers sometimes even have their own specific requirements ON TOP of that. And I'm going towards my Master's in Entertainment Business, the course I'm in right now is Negotiation and Deal making. I just wrote one paper that had to be either based around an interview with an experience negotiator (relevant to your interests, your desired field or just entertainment industry related) OR go out and conduct a negotiation yourself with someone or about something then write about the experience and tie it into course cirriculum concepts which wasn't hard to be honest. She made everything really easy to understand and I was into this class, but I just hate writing papers. THEN I had to write another - a research paper on an actual negotiation/business deal that happened or is in the works presently and discuss it, write about it, relate it to course concepts, offer your advice to one party and conclude. Simple stuff, and I liked it, but still. APA is ******** retarded.

I was honestly trying to come up with an image to respond to that with, but I really don't know what you're even intending to say with that.
The only responses that came to mind were a generic goblin, or the Knights Who Say Ni.

Anyway, I'm gonna go off and read a bit before bed. It's definitely helped me relax a lot more and made it easier to get up in the mornings.
Night folks~

In the same way that one 'wins' if they survive a castle siege until nightfall. You've left me with no ability to attack, but haven't actually performed an offense of your own either. It's just... Armistice.
