FIRST HUNDRED WORDS HAVE BEEN TYPED.

2,900 left to go. Fifteen and a half hours left, minus probably naps, coffee trips and maybe, maybe my seminar in the morning if I'm done.

... Shoot me now.

edit: 200 words. And I re-read the question and went "..." because it's almost what I've been skewing my research toward but... not quite. Which means I'm either going to have to be very, very careful or very, very careful.

Did... did I mention the shooting?

edit: Buggerbuggerbugger, how do I quote Shakespeare? I can keep it within the line right, if it's not over four lines? Least I think it is. Bugger. Then do I reference it in footnotes or..

Wait! Someone answered this on the network. *hops off to look*

Oh and 516 (crap) words. Except for the Neil Gaiman quote; that's not crap, because it's *Neil* and he just isn't.

edit: WHY IS THE NETWORK DOWN WHEN I NEED TO KNOW THIS? *frets* Or... I can poke L and/or R in the morning. Hhmm. Or now. L should still be awake.

edit: L is still up and still has an essay to write too, plus she knows about four or five other people in the same place. J isn't even handing hers in tomorrow; she's going to take the 10% off and keep working on it.

*exhales slowly* Breathe. Half the Shakespeare course is doing exactly the same as you right now. It's okay.

... 517 words. Shutup. I was on the phone asking about referencing Shakespeare! ;)

edit: 661 words. I'm no way going to make 1,500 by midnight. *sadness*

edit: Midnight and I didn't even reach 1,000 words. 926. *grouches* Stupid essay that isn't making any sense. Stupid Shakespeare for writing stupid plays that we have to write essays on. Stupid me for not starting earlier. Stupid last 70 something words, since I'm not letting myself go for coffee until I hit 1,000.

*grouch grouch grouch*

edit: Miko just came to give me a handful of freshly-baked biscuits to help me with the essay.

... She is officially the most awesome person ever to awesome in a world of awesome.

Also? 1,016 words! Yay!

edit: Halfway through. God, I am writing such utter crap. (I've only advanced 500 words in three hours because me and L stopped for a recuperative coffee break. I've given up on the idea of sleeping tonight anyway, so it's not as if I'm lacking the time to finish it now. It's more lacking the motivation to make it good at all, because I'm so damn sick of it.

edit: Bored. Working again after a long while of dealing with can't-be-botheredness, so I'm still only at 1,833 words. On the plus side, I have a vague outline for the rest of it and I've basically written my -- nice, long, *word-filling* -- conclusion, which leaves me say, around 800 words of actual stuff to write. Whether I get that done without making a complete ass of myself -- have I mentioned this essay is very, very bad? -- is debatable.

Also, tired. Pondering short nap once I hit 2,000 words. And Andy is winning. This makes me happy.

edit: 2,600 and I think I lost the will to live somewhere back there because I still have all the damned footnotes and bibliography to do. ;_; On the plus side, I just have to cram all the little things I haven't managed to say in my rambling yet into the final 2-300 words or so before typing up the conclusion and the main part is done. Finished. God, that still feels as far away as it did twelve hours ago.

I am so sleeping through the day today. 12pm until at least 5:30pm (have to go to a climbing induction in the gym at 7pm, tonight of all nights). Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed sleep.

Goal is 1,500 by midnight. Two hours.

Might've taken me a while to reply but I did see this while typing and had yayness at being cheered on. :D Everyone should have a cheering team for their essay-writing.

Tea got me through that essay. So much tea. 'Tis the miracle cure for all essay-related woes.
