I'm trying to write the abstract for my MA dissertation which is due in tomorrow.
I don't really know what to put in it.

Edit: Oh, and your mum, obviously.

oh wicked.
I did an MRes back in the day, whatsyoursin?

I'd never heard of an MRes before (in my field it's mostly just MPhils and PhDs) so I googled it.
This was the first result you lazy fat fucker etc.

My MA is in Gothic Cathedrals.

Also, what the hell are you meant to put in an abstract?

Nothing too concrete.

The key aims of the paper, if I remember rightly
I opnly did a BA though so I'm probably wrong

You're right, and it goes all across the board for any paper that's more than a couple of pages long.

Splendid
Mine was basically a vague list of things I intended to achieve.

I've just opened it up and had a scan through. I thoroughly miss writing it now.

I can't remember to be honest
mine was in History, something about the Russian mafiya which I wont bore you with. Can you change it later on?

No, no changes.
Where did you do yours?

That's a slightly strange path.
I've got no idea what I'm going to be. I'd like to do something with historic buildings in an educationy sort of way. Like being chief curator and explainer of amazing things at a cathedral or summat. That would rock.
