[Venting] It's all so sh*t!!111

I'm just doing a spell-check of my final essay of the term and I've just come to the conclusion that the essay is crap beyond belief. I've worked a fortnight on this piece of crap and it reads like a child's book report.

Usually I think my work is sub-par but this time it really sucks. The only good thing I can say is that the spelling is great. So at least I won't 10% taken off of the 8% this essay will get for poor presentation.

And what really sucks is that I used an article as a source, then having just read back on the article realised I had lifted more than I thought I had from said article. Feckery.

I have a few hours left to radically overhaul the damn thing but right now I just want rid of the fucking thing.

/end rant.

have you tried including pictures to flesh it out a bit? some lovely dogs might look nice, or a house maybe? :unsure:

No, but I've changed the title to: Paradise Lost vs The Iliad: Battle of the Misogynistic Fuckwits

Gutted, mate. Maybe it's not so bad and won't take your average down that much.

In any case, I'd blame Brian and Busy for making you post in the vigilante thread last night, you could get utterly wasted after you hand it in to make it all better.

You could always say it is ment "for children to read".

I need 62% on this one really. Though first year doesn't count I just don't like handing in bad work.

I can't really blame B&B as I think, with hindsight, my essay was always going to stink. I mean, what sort of bloke tries to write a feminist criticism of epic poetry? A fecking idiot is who.

I shall be getting mostly wasted tonight. :D

Maybe if you'd switched from Fosters to Martini with Apple Pucker for the duration of the essay composition, you'd have delivered a feminine critique with more aplomb :unsure:


Anyway, have a good night :01:

Half the battle is to get the reader interested.

Battle of the Misogynistic Fuckwits certainly has me interested. ;)

I declared Paradise Lost the winner because Brad Pitt really sucked in Troy.




Well, it's all handed in now so I have 5 months off now 'til next term. Could do some preparatory read I guess...or watch cartoons and build a fort out of Foster's cans. :01:

Review

My fave part of this thread was Arcadia's post, re the dog pictures.

It added a bit of light relief to an otherwise serious subject, enhancing the piece greatly.

Chebus, did you critique my poetism re manker in a jar. I'd love to know your opinion on it.

I went for a simple abcb, nothing too advanced.

I think it works rather well.

I thought it read rather like a verse one might compose on Feb 14th. If Sam^4 could have made a snazzy flash envelope with an appropriate acronym, like POLO or HOLLAND, written upon it then it would have rounded the effort off quite nicely.

I like it. A nice mix of beer, football and manc mocking. :naughty:

I see no-one thought my poetic contribution in the same thread worth a comment?

Bah...philistines, no discussion with regard to my cunning use of colloquial naming to contemporise the reference base?


Or did no one actually get it? :blink:

Sara,

I for one was impressed by the colonic shaming to compromise the referees bees

Is that prose or poetry?

You seem obsessed with bawbags. Is there something you would like to talk about. :lol:

Maybe you should have cut it into squares and hung it behind the door.

At least you'd have got some serious marks that way.




Anyone seen my coat? :(

Bloody spellchecker. I really should check what it comes up with.

NP bigboab.

I got two of my essays back today. Both got me 63% which means I passed that module (Introduction to Literary Theory) with a 2:1 which I'm more than happy with. A 7% improvement next year and I'll be getting a Thirst.:unsure:

:01:

good jawb mr chebus :01:

So this thread, entitled It's all so sh*t!!111 was just a sham, a mockery of a sham of a sham of a mockery. Feck's sake it difficult enough when women say one thing but mean the opposite.

Seriously. Congrats, mate. Go and quell that thirst with some Australian Lager :01:

I haven't got that essay back yet but these marks make me feel a lot more optimistic as I thought these essays were not going to earn me a 2:1.

Essays always look crap when you've written them yourself IMO.


I dunno' why, but any flaw sticks out summat fierce. It's to do with psycholera, I reckon.



I had to write a big one this term, thought I was royally screwed, but it turned out to be nigh on flawless, according to the teacher and my opponent.


My advice would be for you to check it for any grammatical errors, omissions of source references, or spelling mistakes, before you turn it in. Don't bother about changing the content in any major ways.

(If you ever feel that way about an essay again, that is.)

If you don't have the time to rewrite the entire thing, then it's best to assume you actually knew what you were doing when you wrote it, content-wise, and to put any worries about the contrary away.

steal a class mates

Cheebus,

We shall celebrate this almost news by the watching of fitba', the drinking of apple and the talking of pish.
