Research Paper

I’m in need of some inspiration. I am down to the wire on my research paper and feel as dry as a desert in a drought. Seemingly, I can only write for a certain length of time before I begin to go stir-crazy. And I’m out of time.

The paper is due on Thursday night along with an oral presentation. The topic of the research paper was supposed to relate to our major…“unless you happen to be getting a degree in accounting or something like that,” Ms. C said. Another guy and I both raised our hands, indicating that we both are aiming for a boring accounting degree. So she gave us free reign to choose whatever topic we wanted. And thus I got myself into a Legalized Gambling research paper.

The paper is supposed to be seven to ten pages long plus a Works Cited page. I’m betting my will be in the seven page range. I currently have five pages and five lines…of the rough draft, that is.

Now I have to try to be creative with my presentation, which is supposed to be 10-15 minutes in length. 10 or 15 minutes?!? Does she think I’m a chatterbox or something?

So how can I be creative?

And so I labor on...
