That last thread was painfully shit.
So, Limey has finished her coursework and is well on her way to finishing her degree, Wormulus has probably got to level 10 paladin or whatever of world of fatcraft and I once downed a sherbert fountain in one go.

What was the last thing you did that you were truly proud of?

How's yours coming along?
I've just watched this and it's made me all happy but I'm not sure why. thejoyformidable.com/

Ummmm.... 600 words :(
But BUT, last night I sat up until 6am and only wrote 50 so today is a massive improvement. It's in for 10am tomorrow (the draft that is). Eeeek.

Fantastic stuff for finishing yours! We will have to have celebratory finishing degrees drinks sometime soon.

Well done love. Have you got the coffee and cigarettes required for any good all-nighter?
And yes, I finish on June 2nd and am FREE as a bird from then on. Drinkies a-go-go.

I finish June 4th!
I have some cigarettes but no coffee :( I'll just have to make really really strong tea.

I finish mine on May 26th.
I had an all-day exam today, which was shit and I really want to pass so I don't have to do it again. I still have 2 x 1,500 word essays to go before hand in as well.

Those are pretty small essays but small can be hard.
Winston Churchill said he wrote long letters because he didn't have time to write short ones.

Good luck with everything my lovely dear! An all day exam sounds knackering, pour yourself a glass of wine pretty lady.

I had a large G & T when I came out.
We all came out of the exam room and straight into the nearest pub. The two short ones are on employment law, which I don't mind but want to get right.

Do you write loads and then cut it down?
I take ages and do it slowly but try to get it done in one go. Some people on my course do 2,000 words for a 500 word report and then cut it back.
(, Fri 15 May 2009, 0:11, archived)
No, I try my best to be on target.
2000 for a 500 report is silly, clarity is the key with the little uns: why say it in a paragraph when a sentence would do? Especially if all the space you've got to say it is a sentence.

I think people forget with little essays and don't plan enough, if anything small essays need to be planned more meticulously than big ones because you've got less margin for repetition and waffle.

An all-dayer? Crikey - sounds like a nightmare.
And I agree with Lizzie that short essays can be a nightmare. Mine was 3,000 and I had to cut so much out so it would fit properly. I hope I made the right decisions about what to keep and what to leave.

You won't know until the results come in.
I'm sure you got it right though, you've done pretty well up to now.

The play last Friday
Written by meeee. Two years of hard work. Worth it.

Has someone put it on
or have you just finished it?

Either way, good stuff!
(, Thu 14 May 2009, 23:53, archived)
Yes, it was put on last Friday
But I was in it as well...

The ultimate dream is to write a play that I don't star in. Only then will I be gleefully happy.

Feedback's been great so far - it was part of my module though, so I suppose I'll have to wait until I get my mark

Wrote a fool-proof program in assembly language that can draw lines across the screen.
It's a remarkably complicated process.

Oh, and made some inroads into my fantastic novel that's going to take years to write.

Invented a sitcom.
I've had another episode idea too. Piston could come, but me and Friz would have a rare form of narcolepsy, so every time he spoke, we'd fall asleep.

You wouldn't need narcolepsy.

Well done Lim Lam, I know how much this means to her so i will pander greatly.
I would also Pander to you too but I love Az too much.

The last thing I was proud of was a massive painting that I gave away to Cancer Research and it made them £800 at an auction for them which will help save someone's life.

And made up for it later on with interest. BUT STILL. I'm enjoying driving like all the regular human beings do. But lower to the ground.

That's brilliant.
It's my Summer resolution to learn to drive... is it super scary? Also, do little people like us have to sit on cushions?

I'm driving a motorbike, not a car yet
But cr3 did let me try his car once. I pulled away! And did not break ANYTHING. It looks like it would take some work to be good at though.

I might have been a little low in the seat also. Maybe a cushion would be useful....

The last song I recorded, and probably my version of Ooom Pa Pa.
I am utterly unable to finish a tune at the moment. It's horrible.

What if you have another attack and ruin all the good work these last few days have done? Take tomorrow and the weekend and see how you are on Monday.
