What I also don't get is why I always stay up late. I could get more sleep tongiht, and be in bed by 12, since I have to wake up at 6am...but it's 2:10 am and I'm still up. I'm a retard when it comes to sleep, honestly...:o

Heh, I pulled an all-nighter last night. Had a plane flight early this morning and had to leave for the airport at 5:30AM and normally get to sleep around 2, so just decided to stay up. My GF and a case of Coors Light helped me out.

That probably depends on which set of standards you're going by.  Most places follow MLA. But how to reference it depends on how you're using it. This link has some decent info: http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/hu...es/intext.html In a works-cited list you'd underline the title of the book, and put the section or article name in quotes. For in-line book references I'd probably say to use underline there too. b b |

In the body of a paper either Italics or underline is acceptable for the title of a book. As mentioned, in a Works Cited page, it should be underlined. I believe if you reference the title of a chapter, that part is in quotes, but the easy way around that is to not make such a reference.

When I was in college (never finished)... I used to do that ALL the time... I started 90% of my papers or speaches within 24 hrs of the class...
I did pretty well for a while till I started getting projects that were too long to complete in that time period... One GREAT story though was I had a speach class and I was like the 10th out of 20 people to go... My teacher was like... "Could you share with the class what did you do to prepare... that was the best one yet!?" I was like do you want me to be honest?? He said yes so I said I thought about it on the way here and drew (sp) my visual aid on my break before the class... He was shocked... the rest of the class was pissed... I don't know that I could do 10pgs in 24 hrs... certainly not if I hadn't already read the books though... I read VERY slow... it was my biggest downfall in school...
