Ever have trouble writing the last few pages of a paper?

[zeke_mo]

I only had to do this for the couple of gen-ed requirements I had to take. When it got into technical papers content mattered not length. My final thesis was 130 pages, single spaced with Times New Roman!

Holy zombie jesus, I remember when I used to whine about 5 pages, then again I whine about everything.

thats pretty good

I love writing too, but it's really hard to get excited writing about some topics, but sometimes **** gets in the way, even if you do try to be perfect in everything you do. And, why should you have to add useless fluff to a paper? I use to be very verbose, now I'm all for being concise.

But I understand what you mean, oh wise one

The thesaurus rules my world

Not to say the last 3 chicks I dated were all hot for my vocab for some reason lol. I guess living in this city gives one a feel of ecclectic entitlement and makes them easily impressed lol.

That and my lovely accent. Apparently american chicks dig the british accent. And yes matt, I happen to have a decent grasp of linguistics and I can "morph" to accomodate various accents. It's a pain in the ass having to force the neutral american accent at work (interspersed with a y'all here and there), but it took me a while to perfect so I'll be damned if I don't use it :smoker:

I had a British accent up to Grade 3. Then I started going to an American curriculum school.

Yes, my parents don't like me ;p

I can speak with a British accent as well. I easily fit in with people that speak in a different accent, since I catch on extremely fast. When I was in Australia it was not hard for me to catch on, and people after that when I was in the northern part of Australia thought I was from Sydney, not from the US on vacation.

Chicks for no random reason seem to like people that have a foreign accent. For example, when I come back from The Netherlands my Dutch accent shines through just a little and it draws them to me. Not that I mind

I thought we agreed on Space efficient?

I'm damn glad there is no writing of papers in my future, thank god for graduation! Last few years I was in school, if I ever had to write anything Erica did it

 

[Grandmaster]

I thought you were gonna go to grad school? Postponed?

 

[kcnychief]

I went to one class, decided it was a waste of my time and stopped. I have no desire to go into management, as I want to remain as hands on as possible. While it may have been nice, going forward with my career experience will be much more valuable than further education - so I am going to focus on putting my all into my job instead.

Sweet, good luck with that man

Thanks man - I am confident it will work out very well for me, just have to be a little patient Last few weeks since not getting that promotion have actually been VERY good.

:lick:

Must have slipped my mind.

I don't spend much time thinking of the "smaller" and more "puny" things out there.

:devious:

No matter how big you get, don't forget about the little people

 

[zeke_mo]

With finals and last minute research papers coming up, lets not forget these tricks!

Holy thread resurrection batman !!!

 

[kcnychief]

Hooray for never having to do a paper again

 

[epk]

[kcnychief]

I still prefer my favorite tip - have your girlfriend/fiancee/wife do them for you
