Writing a research paper- continued CM1120 #7

Q: Do you know what that is?
A: That is a very happy, relaxed kitty, and he/she represents EXACTLY how I feel as of right now. It represents how I feel so well, that when I lie down, all sprawled out of my back, on my bed, I can almost see myself, looking EXACTLY like this kitty, down to the fur and the ears.

Q: Why do you feel like this?
A: I am on the verge of completing the great discovery every first year student should make at about this time of year. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. Another reason? I am now prepared to start the writing of my research paper (finally only two months late) and that will only take a few hours; therefore; in my mind, I am technically finished this time consuming project! Be happy for me.

If only you knew the grueling process writing this essay has been. I can only imagine what other people are going through, I know there are people who haven't even started, and it's due Thursday.

I was pretty lucky though, because three of the people in class (including myself) are doing the same topic, so we helped each other with the sources. We each found a certain amount of topics each and cited and quoted everything that seemed necessary. Now all we need to do is write out papers.

The worst part about helping each other out, is we cannot edit each others papers. Why, because we do not want to plagerize each others papers. We are not sharing any ideas we have. The only help we could do was to find the information, but that alone was a very big help for us three procrastinaters.

It is very unfortunate though that we are unable to edit each others work, because, who else to help you with your own essay, than someone else who knows about the topic thoroughly. It's very unfortunate.

Now, is the waiting game. Waiting, as in working out brains off until we finish this project in the dread for Thursday morning when it's time to pass it in. Although this project has been nothing more than a pain to us, I consider it a great learning experience. I now know, if a teacher is generous enough to tell you about a project two months in advance, you should probably start it two months in advance. Not only may it be a long project, but it may help to get it out of the way so you can work on your other assignments (which we all know you will have). Especially if the term paper is due, at the end of the term! When you will have assignments and tests and quizzes all due at the same time in the same week.
