1. Doing 3 research papers in 3 weeks is not fun. 2. Doing 3 research papers for one CLASS is less fun. 3. Accidentally using MLA style instead of APA style citations = annoying. 4. Having more than one citation system = Redundant and stupid 5. Trying to find a good subject for a literature research paper when you've read a total of 50 books in your life, half of which were meant for teenagers, is not something I want to experience again. 6. The last three weeks of school are...well...not fun. 7. When tutors at the writing center call you insane for your choice of classes, you probably are. 8. Luckilly, I never ever ever ever have to take another Advanced writing course again. 9. Now I get to move on to British and American Literature (If I were Socrates, I'd just be begging for that drink). 10. Eh. Don't have a tenth reason, just thought it would even things out to have a number 10.

Now I'm really scared. I'm taking two writing classes and a lit class next semester. And three other classes. :-/

Sorry, but can you explain me your Scolar system ? I don't understand your story of "writting class" or "lit class".
Just a note :

50 is few ! You may be young, aren't you ?

Those are just classes where you learn how to write for certain situations. As for only 50 books, yeah, that's not many. I'm 24, and I only started reading seriously about a year and a half ago.

I was an English major at a writing intensive college. It didn't matter if the course you took was Irish Lit after Joyce or Child Psychopathology, you were writing a sizeable research paper.
It's good for you. Like spinach.

Actually, the more writing you do, the easier it becomes and eventually will become second nature. I've found that writing any papers in my graduate classes is Easy. Super Easy. All that writing in undergrad was like boot camp.
