I never thought this would happen to me , my papers are always so hopelessly short. This time my history Research Paper was about 3 pages too long , my god. So since I can revise it I get to castrate my own damn paper , Im not looking forward to that. The professor is a cool guy , and I asked him and he said 'oh I quit reading after page 6'. Mine was 8 pages , thats gotta suck. Alot of it was rubish anyway. Anyone got any other horror stories about term papers?

I found them to be hopeless repetitive. Every time I wrote one of them I imagined myself as a dog jumping through a hoop and at the end of all the hoops was a degree.

By fourth year I could bang out a paper in a couple of nights but it usually took longer than that becuas writing such dry material made my brain bleed.

Another good analogy for a research paper is "moving bones from one grave into another."

Quite fitting in my anaysis.
 
They suck, pure and simple.

Teachers at my school never seemed to have a particularly clear idea of what they wanted me to do. Some would accuse me of waffling, yet when I cut down on the banter and became more succinct in my statements, the called them "too brief".
 
sans my argumentation class, where the teacher just refices to give me an A....
every paper I have submitted in highschool/college was an A+/100%

including history papers, since that is what I usually chose to do. :D
