research project and other dry things such as this

So I am working on my research project for my history class and it keeps alternating between being hella boring and really interesting. Today's most troubling (annoying) aspect is this citation business that has consumed the last 5 hours of my Sunday night. Yes, I know why it's important but I really don't care right now (neither does Fenix, btw, because he's screaming in my ear to let me know just that). I'm hoping that at some point the proper way to cite all of the 100 million different types of sources will become something that I can do in my sleep. But until then, here I sit with Rampolla's Guide to Writing in History, toiling away at my annotated bibliography.
