If you were writing in word check to see if any tmp files were saved. Don't open word. Just use file explorer to search. I'll post back with some links in a min....

If you had auto save on, there should be some of the essay left. If u never saved it, (Idiot btw) chances of recovery are low.

Thanks for the help lads and ladies. No dice on getting a tmp file of the document so I started again. Its on the early european settlement of the chespeake area in the states. What a pain in the "LeCock Sportif". And yes I am a complete tool for not saving the work. Boo. Ill hand it in tomorrow with an apology and all the rest. And then ask for a form to do moda 1 :rolleyes:

I just walked home from college and I'm deadly serious here, it came to me that I left out the 'i' and it annoyed me on the way home!

Riamfada

I had chocolate cheesecake the other day. Amazing. Yeah doing chesapeake and its a right pain cause there are no text books on the subject. O'Keefe is doing the course and hes not so bad. Got the website off a mate www.chesapeakearchaeology.org and im smelling an A. Probably a good thing i DIDNT hand up the past essay

ferdi

ah yeah o'keefe gave us that link.
i think he's da bomb.

Riamfada

I had nothing to do with this I was just a witness ...I'd just like to clarify..the OP sounds kinda incriminating!!

Mr_Roger_Bongos

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!!!?!?!??

Scraggs

Riamfada

I cant remember what I said? Did I curse alot in front of the enitre ITC?

Scraggs

Nah you just cried your little heart out.. and then we had to call your mammy in remember??

OH sorry eh I mean yeah you were all rugged and manly and cursed and stuff and everyone was like 'OMG oh no he didnt' and I was like 'oh yeah he did' etc. etc.

PaulDoh

Thats harsh man I would be really annoyed if that happened to me, by the way at least it won't happen again especially for 2nd and 3rd year with 3,500 word essays.I suppose you still have the notes you used to type out the essay with quotations from the book and so JUST DO IT!!!! with that continous assessment its a pain in the ass for like 30% for con ass you have to get 12% to pass.

drdre

so sorry to hear about ur essay mate, hope you find it.
