Also, did 700 words of essay today I feel so nice and motivated!

I did 500 words of an essay earlier and then got 17 books out of the library. I ... wasn't expecting to get that many. But I have multiple reading-intensive essays coming up. Lucky me. Should keep going with work this evening ... but I'm not right now!

I have not heard NEARLY enough terrible Swine Flu jokes.

I spent today with a girl, btw.

We spent an hour in a bookstore.

D: I fancied a change! Want something more respectable but am too tired to make one!

I've one essay of 3,000 words, two essays of 5,000 words, and a 12,000 word thesis to write. Thesis fortunately not due until October but the other essays are due early June. One will require reading 20+ books ...

Wow, shit! Makes me want to reconsider doing honours! Although I'll be doing in it Bio, so it won't be so heavy on the essay front...

 

[Axver]

The research will be the killer ... as long as I can break up each essay into small chunks, I should be good. Plus I probably should've planned better. Next semester will likely be easier.

 

[liamcool]

17 books is nothing, really.

 

[Slopsy]

Mmm, I have no problems with writing the essays themselves, but researching and referencing is just a huge pain in the arse for me. I hate it when I just KNOW something from the lecture or whatever, but then have to reference it from somewhere as it's a definition or similar. :headdesk:

Do You Have Swine Flu?

That's not what the Hitch-Hiker's Guide tells me to do!

When they're lengthy, weighty hardbacks, I'd beg to differ.

 

[Slopsy]

I'd better turn in. Long weekend ahead - work tomorrow and killer field trip on Sunday. Somewhere in there I have to finish damn essay too.

Goodnight!

Meh, woman. Get over it

 

[liamcool]

See ya, Charlotte.

 

[Axver]

Have a good one, Charlotte!

You're just a contrarian little shit, aren't you?

I could've said 17,000 books and you'd still be all "nawt much!"

"Nawt much"?

And yes, I am a contrarian little shit. Well picked up on.

Yes, in my head you spoke that post in a stupid squeaky accent and said "nawt much".

 

[Axver]

How the fuck has it taken us over a day to get to even 140 posts?

 

[liamcool]

Yes, in my head you spoke that post in a stupid squeaky accent and said "nawt much".

Which?

 

[Axver]

The hypothetical post responding to 17,000 books, doofus.

 

[liamcool]

No, which accent?

 

[Axver]

A stupid squeaky one!

 

[liamcool]

...I'm tempted to tutor HSC students. Hm.

 

[Axver]

If you do, I will take pity on HSC students.

Honestly, I'd find tutoring a bit daunting.

 

[liamcool]

I would do.

I did do EXTREMELY well in creative writing, however.

 

[Axver]

I did extremely well in all my subjects, but I'd still be in no hurry to tutor anyone. I guess I just don't like the responsibility of their marks at least somewhat falling on my shoulders.
