#also completely forgotten how to MLA cite anything #again #have to relearn that shit twice a year #eng102 saga #adhd studyblr #breadtab writes #''colloquial writing not allowed'' i am slain #i live and breathe colloquialisms #it's not like i don't know five nice hoity toity synonyms for everything it's just #sometimes it lacks that #shit #i have to google the spelling #the fucking je ne sais quoi #you know??? #sometimes i just want to say something snappy without having to uncontract the contractions and disambiguate and turn every thought into a #whole paragraph #not that i don't do that anyway but now i have to include quotes from the text #and work in the citations #it's good for me but i'm remembering why i hate *doing* academics
