clo_againI gave Miko my 201 and Middlemarch essays to look at, to give her some idea of the little stock phrases and words they like to see and she just told me that she was amazed that she hadn't found a single mistake in the 201 4,000-words madness (though, I know for a fact that there are but anyway). Which makes me feel a lot better about this Shakespeare essay, given that I wrote of 201 in my journal "Have less than 24 hours to write 4,000 words. and "One sixteenth of my degree failed in a neat package of caffiene high and sleep deprival.", only to get the best mark I've had for an essay since coming to uni.
Of course, I'd spent a week reading for it before I started but I didn't -- and still don't, to be honest -- understand Structuralism. Shakespeare at least I can conjure up some semblence of knowledge -- though I was pissed when my beautiful realisation that A Midsummer Night's Dream, like Hustle, breaks the fourth wall at the end -- only to find someone's already said it on Wikipedia. Which means no matter how cleverly I say it, tutor'll think I snagged it from there.
Life? So not fair.
And before you yell at me for being on LJ, this is my lunch break. Actually, it's my I-fell-asleep-over-iambic-pentameter-notes-and-I'm-trying-to-wake-up-again break but it's all the same.
