1. Are you a Family Guy fan too? or is this just a weird coincidence that I have heard 2 Noid references in the same week?

   I hate research papers too, but they got much easier when I realized I could add pictures, charts, graphs and quotes as long as they were properly attributed. Having a fat bibliography was somethign I think my professors liked seeing. (Word to the wise, photocopying the World Book Encyclopedia and putting your name on it is a sure way to get a low score :))

2. Oh, but the challenge of chasing down just the right information is what is fun about research papers! Putting them together is not as much fun, but consider it as exercising your mental muscles, building your composition and rhetoric muscle groups.

   Avoid the Noid. This is a phrase I have not heard in many years, since Domino’s dumped the character from their advertising. I love cultural references.

3. Brian - Nope, I don’t watch family guy. I was just avoiding my paper and it popped into my head

   I wish I had read this before I turned in my paper! Do you think he’ll believe I wrote half the encyclopedia?

   JSS - That’s exactly what I was doing yesterday — trying to put it all together.

   I guess I need to use Max Headrom or Spud Macinzie next

4. an a at least?

   are you holding out hope that your grade will be from some primordial pre-alphabet?

   Goe, will still fight evil for food.

5. While the primordial pre-alphabet is appealing, I meant that of all my classes, it seems like that one is a sure A, or “at least I can make an A in that class, if not the others.”

   Being a super hero doesn’t pay what it used to, hmm?

6. Ain’t that the truth.

   It is also a little tough to go into the bosses office with a cape and mask to ask for a raise

7. I thought superhero’s were normally either self-employed or worked for msm.

   Goe, remembers the song ‘barbeque spuds mckenzie’.

8. Actually, I work for a large corporation and believe my cape is what scored me my last promotion (it’s purple, and quite fancy). Plus, masks are great. They’re terribly comfortable. I believe everyone will be wearing them in the future.

10. I think my mistake was going to ask for a promotion wearing *ONLY* a mask and cape.

    I didn’t get the promotion, but I also didn’t get fired. I think the mask protected my identity

11. To answer your question of if you will have to write research papers in Nursing school, a great big YES. You will have to write issue papers, pre debate papers, post debate papers, research about the research that goes into something. I just finished my first year and I had to write 8 research papers for various subjects. That isn’t including the dreaded “reflective analysis” where you take an experience from clinical and analyze it to death and in which you have to find scholarly research that speaks to your situation.
    I enjoy your blog(s)
