I HATE GOATS!!!

And einkorn wheat, and barley, and stupid BP/BC dating systems tht are confusing as hell. I hate the Levant, and annoying early Natufian site in Turkey with strange accent marks. I hate hunter-gatherers and I hate early farmers and I HATE this stupid annoying essay that I've been working on for two weeks straight with a grand total of 0 words and a due date at 12 tomorrow and i am SO SCREWED!!! And I HATE my stupid TA who didn't give us essay subjects until two weeks before the thing was due, and now I've got 12 hours to write 2500 words, and it's going to suck so bad. And did I mention I hate goats?

Right, enough procrastinating. Enjoy my rant. Now that all that's out of my system I'm going back to work.

*Hugs* Good luck! Hang in there; you'll get it done.

Thanks. I wrote that during the crisis *headdesk* period. There's now a word count of 750 and a slightly better chance of having everything finished and edited on time.

Once this is done I'll be FREEEEEEEEE of papers. FREEEEEE!!! *cackles madly*

Ah, I know that period. I know that period well. Good luck with getting it done!

(I wish I was free of papers! I still have 4.75 years of uni left to go...)

Free relatively speaking... I still have one more (much shorter) paper, exams, summer courses, and 2 more years to go.

But one thing at a time!

(1010 words and I've run out of things to say. Time to start head-butting the desk again)

Ah, I see! Well, good luck with all of that.

(Start re-wording things. Use more words to say the same thing - not too many more, because it'll sound hackneyed and terrible, but a few more. Lengthen your intro and conclusion a little - they're usually the easiest ones to work on. Do you need a proofreader or something? If it's in the next hour or so, I could have a look over it for you.)

Nah, I'll just rope one of my room mates into doing that in the morning. It'll get done. This is just me venting distaste for this particular...

and now I'm procrastinating again. Only 500ish words to go...

500? Easy! You're an excellent writer; you'll be fine! ^.^ 500 words is...maybe one more point? Two, if you stick to 250-word paragraphs? I have faith in your ability to pull 500 words of coherent prose out of thin air.
