UGH! I Hate It When...

I dunno about you, but I just can't stand it when people do stuff that annoys the heck out of me. I mean I tolerate quite a bit, but gosh, I just really hate it when people push my buttons. Most of my pet peeves are quite normal in my opinion. Some of my pet peeves include:
  • People chewing with their mouths open. It's just disgusting and annoying having to sit next to someone that chews like a cow.
  • When people think the whole world owes them something. I just can't stand it when you see people walking around with the attitude that the world served them some unjustice and because of that EVERYONE must pay them back somehow. Get over yourselves and whatever your problem is.
  • People who clearly shouldn't even be allowed to operate a vehicle can. Now, I'm not saying that I don't have a bad case of road rage, but when there's a horrible driver out I will get a bad case of road rage. How do these people even pass their road test? I dunno, it's way beyond me.

I guess most of my pet peeves have to do with people who just act stupid. Doing stupid things aren't cool and you just look stupid and like a huge brat when you do them.

What Do I Know About Reseach?

With my teacher last semester I had to do quite a bit of researching. We had to write four papers; the last one being at least 15 pages! So I got quite a bit of practice using different research tools around the library and online resources. During high school, I also had to complete a paper for my senior project about the career I choose to job shadow. Needless to say, I did quite a bit of researching online for that paper too. I think I'm a whole lot better at doing research papers than I am at creative papers because I can work a whole lot better arranging cold, hard facts than my own ideas. This is why I'd choose to do a research paper any day over having to do a creative one, like the obituary I had to complete last semester. Hopefully, this semester we won't have to do creative writing, although, I doubt we will because why would this course be writing and research if it wasn't all about research.
