A brief note about reference page makers

I love Noodlebib. My life would be so complex without noodle bib, and also without scholarly articles, which when you print them out, have everything you need to know for your citation all nice and obvious on the 1st page of whatever it is you are reading. Everything is so easy to find. It's like, I'll be that there are websites out there that have a template for the first page and abstract for journal articles. I mean, some of these are TOTALLY student articles, but they look really professional. I wonder if someone makes any profit off of their skills is designing the front covers.

Anyhow, I'm working on my 8-10 summary paper now for a quick minute and I'm doing the whole thing ass-backwards. I'm starting off doing my reference page, because the other day atleast, it took me longer to make the stupid reference page than it did to write the paper (it was only 3-4 pages, I was preparing for it like it would have been a longer paper. I forget how much words can fill up a page sometimes. So this paper isn't as big as I have inflated it to in my mind.

Another thing, I found out yesterday that I have to take the G.R.E. in order to apply for grad school. The program I am hoping to get into is pretty lenient about their admissions (you still have to be smart, but that have a rolling-application). The G.R.E. basically, atleast from what I have come to understand of it, is kind of like a college competancy exam, that isn't extremely specific, but it tests to see whether or not you know these educational types of things (analytical writing, college algebra, analagies, etc. kind of like the SAT.) I don't think it is SUPER hard, but I do want to be semi-prepared. I have it scheduled for Nov. 16th. It is a freaking four hour test too. So, in the meantime, these are the things I'm going to do (here I go, I have to make a list even though I swear that I won't do this!)

1. Write previously mentioned 8-10 page paper on Infant Feeding Choices: Breastfeeding
2. Look up answers I got incorrect on the Christianity exam.
3. Take Christianity exam by Sunday night.
4. Study for Family Relations test on Monday.
5. Gather cloth diapering research for environmental paper.
6. Short assignment and reading for environment class by Tuesday night.
7. Gather reasearch for Chaucer paper
8. Catch up on Chaucer assignments
9. Start studying for G.R.E. test

And there's probably a bit more, but I don't like to think of it. And all of that needs to be done within the next 7 days. And that's only school work.

4 weeks of hell, and then it will all be good. :)
