Thanks for your co-operation!

HAVE YOU WRITTEN THAT ESSAY YET? WHAT'S YOUR WORDCOUNT?

Please reply with:

HAVE YOU WRITTEN YOUR NEWSLETTER YET??

@Sho: HAVE YOU WRITTEN THAT ESSAY YET? WHAT'S YOUR WORDCOUNT?

@Mina: HAVE YOU WRITTEN YOUR NEWSLETTER YET??

So, did you write that essay already? How many words have you written already?

(Sorry, I allowed myself a little freedom in the wording.)

So, like, this newsletter, and this essay, like, all done or what? <

Have you seen any amusing pictures of animals recently, Sho?

*adjusts glasses*
Oops, it says word COUNT.... nearly made a booboo there.

So... hows the word count going on the newsletter and the essay?

Just don't ask how my housework Sunday is going... mmm cheese on toast...

I have nearly 7,300 words of badly written technical text left to translate until Tuesday, from and into two languages of which I am not a native speaker, and in somewhat unfamiliar flavours at that.

So I just spent half an hour adding to my brush pile outside and tossing around some flying sticks that always magically ended up right in my hand again. I think i am going to clean the kitchen sink next, it's been a while...

Clean the kitchen sink? That translation must be horrific!

I've written it, but have nothing to format it in because buying the new car means I now can't afford the DTP I want for another week or two.

I've done the housework... sort of... so is the writing all done?

500 words and fading fast. I just can't get my heart into it

I'm having terrible time concentrating on anything at the moment and I really think it's abnormal at this stage.

Go back and write

What's it about?

lolcats?

900 words about how identy changes as our circumstances change.

Floundering badly and it's quite clear now that although I previously thought that I had coasted through the last course and the first part of this, I was obviously working pretty hard and getting good grades because of it.

Luckily this essay is one that can be substituted and I got a good grade for the last one so it's not all as bleak as I'm making it out to myself.

But oh my - when is my brain going to start to be in a position to retain and evaluate information?

Thanks all!

You've come a long way! Keep at it!

What's the required count?

> 900 words about how identy changes as our circumstances change.

That sounds quite fascinating. The sort of thing The Slacktiverse would love to publish. Or perhaps The Post?

How's it going?

TRiG.

500/900 is more than half, surely? But the hard part is to come. I can't begin to work out how identity changes in circumstances. Except if you're a woman and get married and choose to change your name.

Or am I misunderstanding identity or simply taking it too literally? Or is identy something else?
