I'm finished! Woo hoo! It feels so good! So good I just want to sleep!
Last night I just did the section I was on and then I went to bed. So I ended up finishing it up today - at 1:30 in the morning. Those little details just take up so much time!
I'm not exceptionally proud of my work. But it's done and that's the really important part. I wonder what my prof will think of it... I think I'm hoping for a B.
I learned today that I don't want to be a wishy-washy person. I want to make my expectations very clear, and then enforce them. When something needs to be done, sugar coating the request in kindness is hard to respect and therefore not ideal.
It's tricksy when I don't respect someone who is in authority over me, and when I stretch boundaries as a result. I don't like that about myself.
So, Turabian totally changed while I wasn't looking! When you use footnotes the year goes at the end, not between the author and title?!? What is that?! Friend, I didn't believe you when you wrote about this on your blog. But I have discovered that you are right. It's so unsettling when you totally know something, and you're wrong. And the way that Turabian was was so comfortable to me...
Some helpful Turabian sources I've found:
~ The Basics from Georgetown University Library
~ A Citation Generator - you put in your info, it arranges it for you!
Update 04/17/08: My prof was pleased, and she gave me an A. She thought about bringing that down to an A- because it was "late," but she decided against that.

Earth-shattering, isn't it? I always went by the old college style guide but was corrected by a seminary prof, which made me investigate this.
