Was under the impression my assignment's word limit was 1500, finished it up on 1534 only to find out the limit was actually 1000 +/- 10% :-[ now have under 9 hours to reduce it by 434 words :-\
Damnnnn, so much cutting required! May have to remove a full paragraph at least. Good luck with that Adez as cutting down is annoying as!

Why wouldn't you want to do English? Best subject by far, and that's not just because I was good at it. 99.9% of English teachers are great people, and the content is generally good books/movies.
I can barely speak it properly, no way could I be bothered analyzing words and shower :P Do agree with the teacher comment though

Isn't "as" a preposition? Didn't think you were allowed to end a sentence with a preposition.   :o

Internet language isn't the same as proper English language, I'll let it pass ;).

Hooooly shower.

Essay worth 50% of my unit due 5pm tomorrow. About 1700 words into the 2500 beast with referencing, exec summary, etc still to come. Oh and I have work tomorrow from 10-5 so I'm pulling an all nighter to have this finished.

Haha just referencing to go. Hopefully won't be too bad since I have all the references. Just gotta get them in before work :P

So for the same unit that I went well over the page-count for the last assignment, I'm probably going to be well under the page-count for the current assignment :3 8-pages on 5 topics and I've done about a page on 1 of them and that looks to be a lengthy question, so might be extremely under if I don't do some trickery :P

I'll be cutting it fine too, it's due Sunday night and I have football tomorrow afternoon for 4 hours...

I'll be doing mine with the year 11's...that's definitely hard enough for me haha

Feel like helping me out mate? First things first my calculator's playing funny buggers on me tonight which is an issue as the calc active part is where I get all my marks  :-\

Speaking of calculators...

Loaned my calculator to a mate of mine when he did his exams this time last year (he was in my year level but had to repeat Year 11 so finished in 2013). Still haven't got it back despite multiple attempts and reminders on my part.

Another friend of mine loaned the same mate a textbook a while back and still hasn't gotten that back either.

We're planning on going to his place on a recovery mission to retrieve our belongings which are being held hostage.  :P
