Pleban Girls Party – looking for some lucky charms

[bonoishot]

Wow - that's so awesome! I went on a program with my university to N. Ireland to study the peace process. Very fascinating stuff! We got to meet with some of the most influential people there - everyone from the major politicians to religious leaders and people involved in terrorist activities. It was an incredible experience. I ended up loving Ireland so much I stayed longer than the program. Amazing people, beautiful country, I could go on and on!

that must have been interesting meeting the influential people

Ireland

Sounds awesome Thora! : )

How is your break going Sami? : drool:

Well my last day of school was yesterday It will be a pretty boring break since all my friends are either on vacation or college visiting. But it'll be nice to have a week to just do nothing. I'm going to go to my grandparent's clubhouse for a few days and lay in the sun at the pool.


I read about your news before, I'm so sorry. But like VP said, it has a high recovery rate so at least that's some good news. I know it's tough to try and focus on that though, when anyone you love is going through something like that.



Sarah I don't know anything about that! Good luck!!

 

[circa1992]

Sarah I don't know anything about that! Good luck!!

Thanks

We had to choose a contraversal issue going on the he US today...and my mom thought I should choose that But it's SO hard!

 

[sami0201]

Bye Fly and Jem!

 

[Thora]

Bye to those leaving!

 

[WildHoney]

Bye Jem & Fly

I'll be back soon

Oh SG , the SIMS

Can't believe we have a second generaton at colege

 

[Sad_Girl]

I know, Wild They grow up so fast

Hopefully they'll slow down a tad while I play with the single and newlywed characters a bit

 

[VintagePunk]

See you Fly and Jem

Sarah, in my opinion, the introduction of any paper is the hardest part to write. So, my secret to essays is - leave it till last. Very often, you just have to go back and edit it once you're done, anyway. The body of the paper directly influences what the introduction needs to say, anyway, so I would start there.

You know what side you're arguing, right? Jot down several reasons that you consider important in point form, and then expand on them.

How long does this have to be?




Sami, I hope you really enjoy your break. With all the work you've had lately, you deserve it. Is DG on break this week, too?

 

[sami0201]

Thanks VP. I don't think DG is on break, but she could be.....up north they are off in February and April, but I know people in private school in NYC who are off this week... so

I'm 100% for medicinal marijuana


The introduction is supposed to be 1-3 paragraphs including a hook, story, thesis, definition/explanation, types.

The body paragraphs are supposed to be 3-6 paragraphs including: support position, laws, cases, groups, people

The conclusion is supposed to be 1-3 paragraphs including: restated thesis, proofs to support, call to action

 

[bonoishot]

VP you're sooo smart

ok got to go dry my hair

[bonoishot]

[VintagePunk]

Thanks VP. I don't think DG is on break, but she could be.....up north they are off in February and April, but I know people in private school in NYC who are off this week... so

Our public schools had this past week off. Universities here have theirs in Feb., since they're done classes in early April. Not sure about private schools. Private schools aren't nearly as common up here as they are down there, I think.


Sarah, it seems you pretty much know the categories you need to cover for the body. I'd just start looking over your materials/research, and then start filling it in in point form, or rough sentences if you prefer. Get that out of the way, and then the rest will practically write itself.

 

[VintagePunk]

VP you're sooo smart

ok got to go dry my hair

Thanks Although I don't know if it's being smart, necessarily. Knowing how to present your ideas is very important, here. Someone might have more knowledge, but the person with the better writing/communication style will generally get the better marks, so it's a really important skill to have, and it's easily learned.

 

[circa1992]

Thanks VP


Bye Jem

 

[sami0201]

VP I love your sig.

That's one of my favorite songs.

 

[VintagePunk]

Sarah, you wouldn't believe how many long, frustrating hours I used to spend staring at a blank screen, waiting for inspiration for the perfect introduction, before I started taking this approach instead. It's much more effective.

 

[VintagePunk]

VP I love your sig.

That's one of my favorite songs.

Mine too.

Oh, that thing we were talking about the other night. I found out more about it.

 

[sami0201]

Mine too.

Oh, that thing we were talking about the other night. I found out more about it.

What were we talking about? You can PM me if you want...Ooh I think I know what you're talking about.
