Ooh ... what I would say if I could ....
~.: Is it really so hard to find a program that is basically Microsoft Word but isn't so I don't have to sacrifice my firstborn in order to get it? I just need a program that shows me my editing and saving options, shows me my margins and rulers, and lets me format my pages. Is that so hard?? My APA guidelines are written such that it is assumed I am using Word or a program that lets me format like Word does. Every program that's free doesn't show me my margins or rulers. I need them, because otherwise I don't trust that my page is formatted correctly. I just ... I need Microsoft Word. I need it. I'm about to kill my computer and every single Mary Baldwin employee for the fact that their network dies on me every single time I try to download something. I have to write my thesis. I have to. I need to have a draft by Friday. I need to have something to show for the work I'm doing. I need to.
