I'm the same way.

4th year Secondary Ed major, social studies.

Which means they make you get all but 6 hours of a history major, and you basically ignore Psych, Econ, PolSci, etc. Never mind that I want to teach Psych or PolSci.

And the history department wants nothing but paper after paper.

I have a 12-15 pager due in 5 weeks on Hitler's role in the success of the Autobahn.

Law school, hopefully. If not then I'll have to see what my options are for further study in the language.

Edit: Not graduating till 2012, btw.

Law school? You should be able to type five pages of bullshit in your sleep.

Just make a really nice cover sheet and put it in a glossy folder and then add 10-12 pieces of paper.

You'll be fine.

Jesus Christ, I don't see how anyone can write a 12-15 page paper about anything. I'm glad I only have to take one English course.

I cranked out a 24 page themed-portfolio in a day and a half once. It wasn't that bad; but I actually enjoyed my English major at that point.

Short papers are a bitch, because you can usually fluff a 12-15 page paper with 3 pages of absolute shit. A 5 page paper had better be concise and interesting.

You'll get it mang. Just slam some Surge and listen to your "Possum Kingdom" single tape on your Walkman for a bit to get your head right.

All the papers for the course I'm taking are only 3-5 pages and it's been a piece of cake. Luckily my teacher has been pretty open when it comes to topics, the shit writes itself when you're interested in the subject matter. Now if I had to write a highly detailed analysis of some boring-ass novel I have no interest in reading to begin with...I'd be screwed. Thank god for community colleges.

****, that's nothing.

I'll have a 40 pager due next semester for my History Senior Seminar.

Because writing that paper will make me a more effective HS teacher.



I've figured out part of the reason why young teachers are so ****ing bad.

The education they receive is ****ing pointless.

I'd be better served by getting an extra semester of hands-on student teaching, instead of sitting in a class being taught theories we'll never use by an adjunct.

read any of the Novels by Jeff Shaara regarding american historical periods. Although they are not history books, they are historically accurate and give more detail to the history of the events he covers than any history book I've ever read.

Easy.

First 2-3 pages should be a strong introduction.
Middle 8 to 9 pages can be bullshit. Teachers don't even read this shit. You might as well put pornographic photos in there, they won't notice.
Finish strong the last few pages. Cite sources. Have proper MLA/APA formatting. You'll get at least a B.
