Good luck. I'm trying to finish up a research paper before Wednesday morning. Hope you get to have at least a little family time this weekend. :)

That's for Wednesday through Saturday, I'm afraid. Me, I've got only one extra page out of thesis so far, and am about ready to blow something up just to relieve my boredom. Of course, about 1/5 of that is citations that I didn't do properly the first time around and can't relocate now... *Eyeroll.*

Best of luck to you on the paper!

That's the worst. I'm ultra-paranoid about citations.

Thanks. :) It's pretty short, and I only have about a page or two more to write.

I'm not paranoid enough, it seems. I have a batch of over 30 works where I cited them using the year rather than the page number, so now I've gotta track them all down, swap the ones that were in APA over to MLA... and this has nothing to do with the actual corrections.

Go Trixie! You can do it!

Ugh, I'm sorry. I've had to cite this paper in Turabian, which is a bunch of picky little footnotes and looks all wrong to me since I've only ever used MLA and occasionally APA. Now I'm just working up the motivation to finish up the last few sentences of the conclusion. Somehow, that's always the worst part for me.

Footnoted citations always look wrong to me, too.
