Got an essay due on Tuesday 5pm, worth 40% of my mark and I shall try to crack it out today (with a break for the bombers scheduled of course :D). Found all my references last night before I slept, now reading through them, need like 15ish to help my essay be potentially HD standard :P. Should be able to write it all out in like 2-3 hours tonight after midnight cause everybody sleeping so nobody to disturb me :).

I just waited outside for ice cream :P.

Haha yeah I saw a huge line for the ice cream and I thought "these guys must be mad". But then it made sense, it was free which makes sense  :P

Doesn't hurt when the free ice cream was worth like $7.00 normally :P. And I had time to kill...

Even with my mind all over the place, still managed to crack out a 2k essay night before/morning of the day it's due :P. Not the greatest experience but so use to it, so know I can do it and still get some sleep if I can be bothered :P. Got a headache now from listening to music for almost 5-6 hours constantly haha.

I've gotta create a social media marketing campaign for Communication. Not sure what to do it on.. anybody have suggestions?

I was thinking along the idea of 'what grinds your gears?'

But idk, I feel like I could do something better.

The final thing has to be done as either an audio piece, a video or something else (can't remember the third option :P).

Saw this the other day, you could do something similar...

Soooo, 2000 word essay due last Thursday that I kind of may have forgot about and am looking at a loss of 30-40% depending when I get it in. So basically even if I smash it I'll only scrape a pass. Umm flower.

what subject's it for?

I don't know what faculty your in/ how they run it at  your uni, but at usyd arts (where most eshays are :P ) is only like 2% a day, not including weekends/ public holidays, and I *think* it's a scaled mark (so if you would have gotten 70, you lose like 0.7% on your first day etc.) :P

That being said, science and eng are 10% flat a day, including weekends/ public holidays :(

[Justin Bieber]

Sometimes the initial day late loss is like 5-10% then like 2% every day after that, so guess it'll depend on Uni and faculty!

But damn El, that'd be sucky as forgetting about it until it's too late :(.

[elephants]

Okay, I replied to Zip last night but its not showing up haha

Basically yeah its 10 per day but I'm trying to lessen the penalty somewhat by claiming the dropbox was buggered. Which is actually the truth. I submitted it on Monday before I went away but it didn't go in and only got back on Friday night after the Thursday submission date. I added heaps of shower last night to beef up the essay though so yeah haha

[Jacko]

I'm at QUT in Queensland and if it's late it gets a 0% unless you have special exemption!!

My mate is getting to meet Will and Kate today. Lucky flowerer.
