I added all my WIP word counts for TL, CMRH, and TWH - the ones I worked on since the start of the new year - as well as estimated cut words and included the 24K of TL's old draft that I completely decided to revamp. Total, it's around 70-72K written in the last 3.5 months. That makes me feel really good. Like I already did finish a novel

Sadness!
In this scene, a potential love interest botches his romantic check! Quote:
Is it considered feminist if a woman stands up for her right...to be subjugated by a horrifyingly misogynistic theocracy? I don't know, but Joan of Arc did it, and so, I ape it in my Joan of Arc in Space Story!

I just love how WH40K fits the Joan of Arc story so well!

I second that, but would still rather write an essay than a reading response.

Essays I can totally BS without even thinking about it half the time. Reading responses are harder. Probably because they're shorter. It's like, "Okay. This should only take me like 15 minutes. ...What do I say, though?" And once I'm past that it's hard because with shorter papers I'm more of a perfectionist and I want to get the words right the first time.

sooooo i'm so tired.
Me and 4 others in my class stayed up till 2 trying to figure out the second of two problems on our take home test. We worked on it for 4 and a half hours and finally got answers!!! That actually make sense... although we're still not 100% sure they are correct... but its better then nothing! In the mist of our hysteria i calculated how many hours we has a group of 5 worked on it. Answer? 12 hours, in the last three days. Then i added that into the amount of time i spent trying to figure this out alone... I spent a total of 47 hours in the last week on this fucking test alone. That's nearly two days of STRAIGHT work!!! This test pretty much is the final line, if i pass i'm my chances of graduation go up by 10% meaning i have a 60% chance of actually graduating! Sadly if all those 47 hours end up with us all still getting the wrong answer and failing... then its game over and i dont graduate... Keeping my fingers crossed.

I can BS my way through anything! Though essays I find a little easier than reading responses.

Being able to BS your way through things is an excellent skill to have. XD

Something a friend and I were talking about once was that essays--especially for lit/theory classes--are almost all BS. There's actually more...truth, I suppose, in creative writing than in critical or analytic writing.
