APA LOL

April 23, 2009

As many other – unfortunate – pupils here, I’m struggling with the Academic Reading & Writing course.
Lately, it was really hard on me. Mainly, because I’m no good in following rules. I hate when somebody tells me, what I can write and what I can’t. Your idea is not supporting, that paragraph woudn’t do, structure is bad, words are too long, blah blah blah. Absolutely hate it. Writing is not about paragraph – not much anyway – it’s about spirit! About inspiration! Freedom! Justice! Well, one of these things.
And, it was only matter of time when I and APA style met.
I don’t understand it. Really. Not a word. I fall asleep on the first explanation. I wake up somewhere between ‘One Author with unknown year and background’ and ‘Usage of realy long really strange words’.
But today, I found one thing, that make me laugh every time I see that evil letters again.
Who knew, that APA is American Psychological Association?
Well, I still don’t know what to do with APA. But now craziness of style rules makes more sense. Not much, though.

There is a recovery group for internet addicts.

Guess what is it?

An online blog!

I won’t even start on the irony of that, but how does it work? Seriously, recovery means you should spend more time in real life – whatever it is – than online. But, well, you can’t post in that blog just by mad physic power.

You need to open the Internet Explorer, click on Favorites and choose the recovery blog.

What do they write, anyway? “Thanks, your site helped me so much! That article about mommy’s internet addiction gave me the power to stay away from web up until i opened your site… oops!”

Looks like some kind of a prank on poor internet addicts.  I have never seen any ‘Let’s quite smoking’ club with the meeting near the tobacco store. Cruel, cruel people, they are.  

Looks like I was a little bit harsh on the blog. But hey, they’re trying to steal my readers!
