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.

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.
