First rough draft half done
Thanks to cuzzie who helped me go over it a bit, first half, maybe third, of the paper's rough draft is finished, well as finished as a rough draft can be.
In our class we were asked to post our intro paragraph. So far the one I read wasn't so good, and I tried to make constructive critizm, thinks like put your topic in the intro, list out what you're going to talk about, don't put in obscure throw away references without giving them at least a little bit of contex, all things I was taught in school. The guy basically told me he was right and I was wrong, which I really don't care about, but I had said cuzzie look at it and she not only agreed with me but took it a step further.
Then this guy starts giving advice to others about making their sentences shorter and more direct. See spot run. Good dog spot. omg give me a break, do they not teach people the basics of writing anymore? I'm guessing he didn't read the book or he would know how stupid he sounds.
Made me feel better though =) too bad it was at someone else's expense but hey, he was so blatantly wrong. I'm not going to post the example because it was put on a private board available only to people in the class, just trust me on this.
Easy part of the paper is pretty much done, now for the part that isn't from my own knowledge and has to address a specific question. I also have got to make sure I put the interdisciplinary slant in or that will cost me points, no matter how good my paper is.
House update, the ants are driving me batty, half a bottle of RAID and scrubbing up the stove doesn't seem to be helping much. I can't figure out where they're coming in, so foul.
