Here and There Options

[Oscar]

Well, lately I haven't been on here much, but that's because of all the homework I've been getting! Plus, I'm already a procrastinator, I still need to study for a test and it's 11pm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

But yeah, college has been keeping me occupied that and just normal life things like family, friends, outings and what not. Though I haven't seen my friends in some time...

So, I'll be trying my hardest to be on! There will be days that I'll be here like for 15 hours! Haha.

Outline = not much use most of the time. XP

I had one college instructor who *did* make us do that whole outline thing, but I think she was just crazy, 'cuz she was about the only one in the department who did that. And she had SO MANY RULES. When doing a paper, she first made us do an outline that had to exactly fit the format she liked, and then we had to do two rough drafts (the outline and rough drafts were all peer-reviewed), and then make the final copy. When it came time to turn in the final copy, she made us turn in the outline and rough drafts and final paper, all bundled neatly together (and not stapled; Lord help you if you stapled papers together) in one of those big yellow envelopes. Oh, and the envelope could not be one that had a sticky enclosure. Putting it in an envelope with a sticky enclosure meant automatic failure.

The longer they teach the more insane they tend to get... XD I hope I don't turn out that way.

Personally, I think making outlines should be optional. I do like to make basic outlines when I write a report, but my version of an outline is a cross between a traditional outline and a freewriting. I don't like "traditional" outlines.
