The 'have a moan' thread

^Lol!

What's the essay on?

[katya]

I've to compare and contrast the narrative structure of two of Nabokov's short stories. It's not a difficult question but I'm a nightmare when it comes to essays because I always always ALWAYS leave them til the last minute. And I'm doing that thing where I check the word count after every sentence only to find I've written 13 more words than the last time I checked it.

I could cry but that would just waste time.

[Ashirr-Leigh]

Lol, I do that too.

I hate writing essays.

Ok so I don't know anyone who actually likes doing it but yeah .. it sucks!

[claire_louise]

I'm ashamed to say I actually like doing them! Well, as long as the subject is interesting and there isn't too much hanging on it! It's the exams I can't stand. *shudders*

[Ashirr-Leigh]

I never used to mind writing personal essays because they were easy, it's not like you had to study for them or look things up!

But when it came to English and they wanted essays on books and poetry and things .. ugh, hated it!

Yeah exams suck too but meh, I just don't let them bother me.

I have three next week!

I'd much rather do an exam than write an essay. At least with an exam it's all over in a couple of hours, essays you stress over for weeks! Well, I do anyway.

[Ashirr-Leigh]

I always thought that I should be stressing over essays but I just never bothered much, lol.

[katya]

Speaking of stressing and essays, I better get back to this one. I have 864 words now, and only 1136 to go. ROCK.

Stressing and essays = stressay

[Ashirr-Leigh]

Good luck!

[katya]

500 words to go! Woohoo, now I'm cruising
