This is it. The best title on my blog.

APA is fun! I like it more than MLA format. I learned APA last year and used it in a few of my classes, so I knew most of what was going on. Some of the formatting things confused me though, like punctuation in quotes and stuff like that. It is still much better than MLA though because I hate numbering pages.

Trying to find all of the parts needed for a citation was difficult with some websites. I hated it when a website had useful information but not enough credentials for me to cite. Keeping my paragraphs under 150 words was also frustrating. I need to learn how to summarize everything while keeping it short. Life is hard. Another frustrating thing is that I’ve completely forgotten MLA, so when my younger brother (a junior) asks me for help formatting his MLA paper for Mrs. Bearce’s class, I am useless. I’ve learned APA, but at what cost?

I know that I’ll have to use APA in college with my sciency major. In my high school airplane class, I had to write my papers in APA because that’s what the teacher had to do for aviation in college. I’m very glad that we are focusing on APA in this class because I think it will be used much more than MLA in college.
