Junior Theme Blog #2

Okay, this week was running smoothly...until yesterday.  I had articles printed out from ProQuest, JSTOR, and NYTimes.com.  I had gone through about ten of them, until I realized that the URLs at the top didn't end with characters.   Rather, they ended with ...  This bothered me.  I had not kept track of the URLs, since I had made the mistake of assuming that they were printed fully at the top.  At first I was devastated.  I had to comb through all the websites to retrieve the articles I had printed.  It wasted half an hour, but eventually I found them all again.  Then, to make sure that I wouldn't lose them again, I decided to put them all into my NoodleBib, and then just delete the ones at the end that I don't end up using.  I now have around 8 sources entered, and am very pleased.  I remember my sister, who was a junior 2 years ago, had finished her paper early.  The reason I remember this, though, Is because I was kept awake into the early hours of the morning by the light in her room, as she labored over her bibliography.  I am pleased that I was able to enter some of my sources now, because that means I will get to sleep longer when crunch time comes.  Even though I lost a good half hour of time that could have been spent researching, in the end, I think it had a beneficial effect.
