Every time ChristianCoach posts pics of his Commodore, I want to do a Holden conversion more and more once I get enough money.

Now, question is...Commodore or Caprice? Commodore is readily available. Caprice may take some effort.

I never had to take English in university. Nearest thing was something called 'technical communications' where we did a few research papers & made a couple presentations. Then either the TA or the prof forgot to submit the marks for our final assignment (it was worth 35%, but we didn't have to write a final exam). The entire class thought they had failed when they checked their marks over the Christmas break.

My lecturer's really bad at keeping up as well, he cancelled two assignments cause we're too far behind schedule. I have at least a paper due a week, and it sucks. Right now I'm writing a draft for my Analytical Research Paper, 7-9 pages and my topic is "How single mother's of low social status and low income can still raise a child to lead a healthy and normal life". Fun stuff.

Oh, and btw post number 5000!!!

Ouch. Our stuff was more along the lines of the benefits & drawbacks of alternative forms of electricity production, and researching VOIP (Skype was very new at the time). Still BS reports & papers, but at least we usually learned something interesting when we wrote them. And they were never very long, usually no more than 5 pages.

It was kinda funny, everyone in the class ended up doing basically the same report for everything because we all used HowStuffWorks.com (few of us trusted Wikipedia back then) as our primary resource, then filled out our bibliography with a few random results from google. By the end of the semester, HSW.com was 'forbidden' and we had to do a bit more work.

Yeah, if it was something that would help me later on I'd be fine with it, but it's a pretty stupid paper. The length is what gets me, I'm trying to squeeze out the most I have out of the same material. We have to use a certain database called EBSCO, and cite all our sources there, no random google results unfortunately. I'm close to being done with the draft though, I've got 5 down so far. I just keep BS'ing the same stuff, but there really isn't more that I can do.

So since I can't sleep, what is PWA.

Judging from some of this, I'm assuming PW = Post Whore?

Post Whores Anonymous

[G-Oil Guy]

[ibeck]

Good point, never thought of that.

Adding filler is difficult. You've probably covered everything that you need to say. Thats usually where a rational person would stop.

Is there any background info you can elaborate on for a paragraph? Maybe an example of a woman who fits the description of your topic? Or a counter example, where a kid from a well-off home with his mother & father ended up living a messed up life?

Have you followed the seemingly obvious formula of 'tell us what you're going to say, say it, then tell us what you said'? You have? Did you do it for each 'topic block'? No, well there's another page worth of content for you.

Read the orignal thread and you'll understand.
