    How the all nighter going guys? I got mine in today and went on the beer for the day, sorry if my writing is like Kerry Katona. its great to be free. I added in a couple of extra quotes to baulk up the essay and bibilograpgy. Had 5 overall including Gerwarth twisted paths and Kitchens.
    Good luck with getting them done anyway

    171 for me. :pac:

    I''m hopeful I can pull something half-decent together but I'll probably not be able to get any sleep. I reckon I'll just stay up, go over very early to college to hand it in and then come straight home to have a lovely sleep. :)

    I can dig that my man! As long as mine is circa 1500 words and has some semblance of structure, then my flowery jibber-jabber will get me a C at least I think :pac:

    After this is over I'll need some sort of celebration. Maybe the thought of me in a mercedes benz with some hookers will inspire me to essay greatness.

    1213 words now. I still have a final point and my conclusion to go so I should make the word count. My eyes are getting tired though.

    So hard.

    Well I'm not going to bother going to bed now. I'm scared I'll sleep past the deadline. :eek:

    I'll just pop over in a bit, hand the essays in, and then return and sleep my woes away...

    The amount of direction for essays for this module (interwar) was really awful. No word count given, proper titles only released 2-3 weeks ago and the titles were fairly poor. I hope its not like this for the take home exam, really vague questions

    A bit late, but yes.

    I had to hand in a third year and a second year level essay. One queue was in K, one queue was in C. Didn't know that til I got there at a quarter to 3. Waiting ages to hand in my French Rev. one then legged it over to C to give in an Islam and Christianity one.

    Annoying!

    Just woke up!

    I didn't get a wink of sleep and just headed straight over. Handed it in a little bit after ten o'clock. No big queues or anything like that. I was so sleep deprived that I felt almost drunk. I was completely on auto-pilot. Nearly fell asleep on the bus as well.

    I woke up and got a fright that I had forgotten to hand in the essay and then remembered that I had handed it in. :)

    Two essays is one night is definitely not something I'd recommend. As for leaving essays to the last minute, as I said for the Vikings one...never again. ;)
