EndNote is probably the single greatest thing I've learned about in graduate school so far. I heard about it hear and there and now I'm using it. I love it. People say that they can't figure it out, although I don't really understand what there is to figure out. You just plop your information into the provided blank spaces and let EndNote do all the magic. Plus, it seems to integrate practically seamlessly with MS Word.
This semester has been kind of rough for me because I haven't had a lot of writing assignements. This is sort of frustrating because I'm really craving writing right now. Looks like the summer will be a great time for scholarly publication.
I learned how to use EndNote in Advanced Online Searching this semester. Hence, I'm not doing any writing for the class, but using the program as a way to organize my research. It's been very effective, but I'm really anxious to write a paper with it. I mean, it friggin' does IN-TEXT CITATION! Ugh! Maybe this is just what I need to get my butt in scholarly publication gear.

Every class you take, every book is a paper. The smartest guy I know wrote one paper in high school. He wrote about different aspects of the same subject, so it would work in all the classes he took. Eventually, he got a PhD based on that paper.
Don't expect the professors to drive your learning.
