With an essay looming...

Jane (Daria's best friend) - "You think Daria. I can tell because you don't smile. Now this guy died and it makes me think and that hurts my little head and makes me stop smiling. So, tell me how you cope with thinking all the time Daria until I can get back to my normal vegetable state."

This week we were so helpfully provided with some tips for our New Communication and Tech. essay (no sarcasm involved, I really am pleased!). Only problem is, I now feel as though my chosen topic is too 'broad' and with less than two weeks to go before submission my little head is beginning to hurt and this makes me stop smiling.

At least in this list of wonderful hints I was reminded that perhaps I even need to back up my blogs, just in case an Internet dog decides to deleat them (pun intended). I'd never thought of that before. It was a timely reminder too, seeing as only yesterday, during the tutorial for this very subject, i was so ENTHRALLED with what I was doing that I stupidly left my USB stick in the computer. I always back up my files so luckily, even if I don't end up finding my USB, everything is saved to the uni computers. Anyway, whilst saving all my blogs into word documents this morning I went to the trouble of counting my words (not manually, of course!). It turns out I have more than enough to pass this 'blogging' assignment! Excellent!

This critical academic essay is going to be a doozey so I better get it done before my head explodes and I lose the ability to smile, forever..

hey,

i hope you read this.

i just found out that we are supposed to come up with an argument of some sort. So make up a hypothesis/ thesis of some sort then go from there.

your not just picking a topic and writting about it..you have to have an argument....says my tutor Mr Adam Muir.
