Talking MLA Paper

Writing these things are so hard and boring!!! But it's also educational..I've learned alot in this process..But I still don't like it...It's SO boring, the text and everything is blah. But that's what my teacher says it has to be, in order to be correct.
I just can't wait for it to be done.


Has anybody else had to write one?

I'm with Lessly--I didn't have to do that until college. I was a History and Secondary Education major with an English minor.

The History Dept. used Terabian, the College of Education used APA, and the English Dept used MLA!!

I've been out of school 10 years and I still have nightmares!! Good luck, sweetie!

I had to use MLA in high school. When I got to college I had to use APA, which I thought was harder and blander than MLA. I thought I hated using the formats, but now that I've been using APA for so long I kind of like it!

I remember those kinds of papers. Then I went to college and they made us write a completely different kind of paper. Everything I had learned went out the window. *sigh*
I minored in Technical Writing. It does get easier I promise!
