Earn chips for typing!

I just wanted to reiterate what an awesome chip system I think we have here at NDN- and earn a little sympathy as well, haha. I'm working on a couple papers for graduate school right now, and oh how I wish it worked like this forum does, where I could earn chips and money just for typing papers! One of them is currently 10 pages long, and the other is supposed to be at least 20- think of how much money I could earn! Don't worry, NDN, I won't post the papers here and spam the forums in an attempt to earn some! But thanks again for offering your members this wonderful bonus for free!

(And sorry if this is in an inappropriate section for the topic, I wasn't sure if I should put it in here or General, given that it's not just me whining about homework that I'm not doing at the moment!)

Eat a good breakfast Tay and don't answer the phone.
Your paper will be done in no time.
Happy Typing

When I'm spending the day with Klinkman, nobody ever really calls me except my parents, and I ignore their calls sometimes anyway! So that's not really a problem for me. Thanks for the encouragement though, I need it. I keep telling myself I can finish the shorter one today, as there isn't much left to write, but that's part of my problem- I know there isn't much left so I keep putting it off because it isn't due until around midnight tomorrow and I know it won't take me that long to finish. Ahh, procrastination. We have a love-hate relationship, let me tell ya.

i hated writing papers for school. man good luck with all thoses papers. drink lots of coffee.

i agree with you i love how this site works....its awsome.

just so you know i charge 4 dollars per page, and for graduate reports, its 8 dollars/ page...haha jk goodluck and try not to look at ndn as much as me, bc youd never get done!

Haha thanks. I don't know how often you look at the forums, but I know I'm on pretty much constantly. I promise I will work on my papers today though.

Thanks! Not a huge fan of coffee, at least unless it's something like a mocha or cappuccino. I may have to send klinkman out for a mocha from the Starbucks at our fitness center though...hmm that sounds good, since we still have donuts from the other day. I think I'll do that at some point. Thanks for the suggestion!

Eventually Tay when all you can do is think, live, smell, eat and sleep homework you will learn to love coffee. With caffeine, and chocolate. :) And you will often find yourself on NDN and calling it your way of meditation. If, you are anything like me. :) But from experience let me share that (procrastination) even in the least, can mess you up. None the less adds unneeded stress.

ive been sending my taxes in on the 15th of april for "i dont know how long"....if it wasn't for procrastination ....i would have no nation at all...ba dum dum....I got a million of them ...nah i lie that's the only procrastination joke i got i would have had more if only...well you know...hang in there tay.....get smart!

well this a great way to earn chips. also i got a good one. no nookie. yes klinkman that means u lol. shes busy. leave her alone.

I've only been out of grad school for 3 1/2 years but just the thought of writing all those papers makes me annoyed. It annoyed me more that I had to get a master's degree just to keep my teaching job. So I paid all that extra money just to get a piece of paper that says "Permanent Certification" on it.

Thanks for the encouragement, woohoo! I appreciate it, and your joke is the truth lol!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm looking to teach myself, hopefully something with homeschooled kids, but still having a master's degree would be just helpful. Really frustrating! I do think it would be a little easier to stay motivated though if I were getting paid for all this work!

my problem was i got hired right after i got my bachelor's. that meant i had five years to get my master's before my provisional certification expired. i took two years off to just enjoy and get used to teaching and then went back and finished in two years. the two year break was good but made getting back into "school mode" that much harder. as far as i'm concerned all i got out of grad school was more student loans, my undergraduate program was way more difficult, challenging, and interesting.

Yeah it seems like the only thing I'm doing in grad school is writing papers- I hate having to go to class because the classwork we do isn't relevant in any way, the only thing that matters is just the paper at the end of the semester, so I'd rather not feel like I have to take the time to spend 6 hours in class a week when I could be writing papers anyway. Never mind that I probably wouldn't spend that time writing all the time, but still. It's pointless.

I just finished the shorter paper I've been working on, that's due at midnight tonight. Here are the final stats:

Pages: 14
Words: 3,934
Characters (with spaces): 24,799

How many chips would I get for this, NDN? :D

Thanks to everyone for all your support and encouragement, it really means a lot to me! I've got my other paper due on May 7th, so there's not too much time to relax!

That gave me a great feeling of accomplishment for you. Thanks, That feeling is one of my favorite feelings in the world. How about you! A good grade would be one of my favorites too. Good for you! Stick with it. It is so worth it!! You have started the other one haven't you?

Thank you, BnLM5, that makes me smile. I do feel accomplished, but mostly my brain feels tired too! So much writing. And yes, a good grade would be nice- this was actually just a draft I'm turning in, so I hope she likes it enough and I don't have to make too many changes to it! It's always hard to know what a professor is looking for though when you've never had them before, especially writing-wise. I haven't really started the other paper yet...but I know what I'm writing about and have notes like I did for this one, so I just have to actually sit down and turn those notes into a paper. Not too hard, definitely not as hard as starting with nothing. Hopefully I'll finish it in time. Thanks again for the encouragement! I love having a community like this where we all support each other!

That is what friends are for right? :)

This would earn you 25 for the new thread, and 1180.2 for the content.

So 1205.2 chips.

Ahh eejit it's you, always down to the nitty gritty! Don't be so frigid you know that Tay deserves more chips than the norm she worked hard on her paper. So lighten up. :) By the way when was the last time you had to write a paper?

I'm pretty sure I'm not actually getting any chips for it, he was just telling me what I would get. It'd be nice if I did, though...

I know, lol I was just giving him a hard time. He needs that every now and again. But still he was going strictly by the count. He should have doubled it, don't you think? lol

eejit what would we do without you? I mean life at NDN would be so boring without you.

Oh I know. I give him crap all the time- it's one of the highlights of my day. I'm not sure my life would be complete without the ability to give crap to eejit.

Say, eejit, why don't you drop the numbers from your name? Do they mean anything? No one seems to use them anyway. Just a thought...

I dont know, they were just there when i first went online, at the age of like 15 or something. First name i made up, and its stayed.

Getting rid of the 101 mkes sense tho, maybe NDN will get bored and remove them

eejit, what happened to your eejit knows everything section? When I see the Sutter Buttes out my front door, I sometimes wonder how you really knew the smallest mountain range in the world. You must have googled that question?

Nah, i know some weird stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And wow, that was YEARS ago.

Feel free to test me in some way if you get bored though.

Cool! Right now I am off to school but I will have to come up with a very good one. :)

And yes it was years ago, My how time flies when you are having fun! Let me tell you time flies after you turn 21 even faster. :0

Hmm, being 24 now the time for that was long ago!

Oh yes eejit that was 3 very long years ago for you. lol I remember when I was 24 wow! I had my second daughter when I was 24. Guess how old she is now. When you are 30 you may or may not be hating it... (I am assuming that aging seems to be tougher for women to accept than for men?) But I am really not sure about that) .... But remembering seems like just yesterday you were 24 and then you will be 35, now 30 didn't look so bad and when you are 40 you will wish you were crying about being 30 again. After 40 is yet to come for me but it is smacking me in the face and OUCH! I am not accepting it gracefully that is for sure. Any way my point is that once we turn 21 the years fly by and where the time goes is a mystery at least to me. If we are still around NDN in say 20 years we'll talk about this again and see what you think. I would really enjoy that. :)

Thanks a bunch, man. I still haven't gotten a chance to have that coffee yet, though. Maybe later today I'll reward myself. I still have to edit the paper before turning it in (this was a draft, albeit a really solid one). I'll try to be at the tourney tonight, don't know for sure that I'll be able to, though. Thanks again!

Any chance when quoting we can actually leave it as quotes? Is 222 chips really worth changing the color and removing the tags:)

I got a kick out the way Taylor worded "Earn Chips For Typing".

I have said for years and still say that the most productive class I ever took in high school was typing, when I was in the ninth grade. I once read an interview with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola where he said the same thing; it made me not feel so alone (even if he hasn't made a good film in ages). I also want to wish Taylor the best of luck in graduate school. Been there, done that. Be happy you have a computer for your papers; back in the old Smith Corona days, revisions were a pain in the ***.
