   † Term Paper †
Well, our AP Lit teacher assigned us a term paper about 7 weeks ago. I did mine over H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds. We had to write a 5 page paper over the book, 1 and 1/2 on the author, and 1 on the movie. We also had to do a visual aid, outline, rough drafts, 80 notecards, a title page, a table of contents, and a works cited page. I have learned many things about term papers. Allow me to share my wisdom...

Things I've Learned On Term Papers

1) Procrastination is your WORST enemy!
2) Chocolate is your BEST friend!
3) Threatening the computer does NOTHING!!!
4) Late night cram sessions are HELL!!
5) Waiting until the last minute is SUICIDE!!!
6) Using Spark Notes is a good idea, so long as you don't cite it in your works cited.
7) Don't rely on being able to read a novel in one week. It cannot be done!
8) Microsoft Word is an idiotic program when doing an outline.
9) The movie usually does not correspond with your novel.
10) "Getting distracted" is NOT an excuse for getting an extention!

Well, hope you learned something. For those of you who are in 11th grade and lower, good luck on your future term papers. I commend you for your bravery. And if you don't want to do a term paper before college, DON'T SIGN UP FOR AP ENGLISH CLASSES!!! Well, that's all I got. I've still gotta do 40 more notecards and my visual aid. I'll do those tonight. LOVE AND PEACE!!!
