take out the papers and the trash...

Contrary to my original belief that this research paper might not be as bad as previous research papers I still hate them. I do not like writing to begin with, but research papers is a different story all together. I actually find stories the best thing to write because everything is already in your head, all you have to do is put it all on paper. But this isn’t about stories… it’s about research papers. They are by far and away the worst writing assignment in existence. I find them so boring to write and I can’t stand them. I also hate the process of gathering research for the paper. It always seems to me like I can never find enough sources for my paper. Sure, I find some information and usually it’s pretty good and is able to suffice, but I always feel like I could use more. I get so sick and tired of backing up every point in the paper with a quote. I’d rather just write about my opinion on a topic then prove it with what other people said. The works cited is pretty bad too. I hate making sure that everything is in perfect place for MLA citation. If one little thing like a period is in the wrong place then the entire citation is wrong, that’s so stupid. Whenever I am working on this stupid paper I may write a few sentences and then my mind wonders. I find myself reading the latest news on NFL free agency or talking to my friends via IM or text messages. I end up doing almost anything but working on the paper. I have to mentally slap myself and tell myself to concentrate. Too make things that much more hectic this week I have a test in psychology on Friday that promises to be the most challenging we’ve had so far.
