Essays... grrrrr :jab:

GenesiS · 06-10-2005, 01:15 AM

Writing an essay at the moment... is killing me trying to be creative and concentrate.

And I keep flipping to the forums to see if there's any new posts.

Anyone had any really bad essay experiences were they've struggled like hell, this one isn't to bad, it's on cyber terrorism so there's plenty out there on it.

Had one on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDWM) in 160Gb/s networks last year, that was a cow of a thing...

Can you tell I'm distracted??? lol

Chuck on some decent music, so long as you know the topic write yourself a proper structure for it, and you can work on it without neccessarily having to have proper order to things as you already have the flow you want laid out.
I have had a few bad essay experiences, up all night cruising the forums every 5 mins for a new post.

GenesiS · 06-10-2005, 01:30 AM

Jeez, can't remember how many refs got made up in research in Biology and History last year. So long as you come up with a bad pun incorporating your subject the marker won't look twice.

Good luck man.

GenesiS · 06-10-2005, 02:03 PM

lol.. well thats it for all my major projects of this semester abr one, so far i've comleted four modelling projects (mathematical modelling, not the good type), which were all about ten pages each, a fifteen minute seminar on small-world networks and the small-world scenario, four digital signal processing projects... mini labs that are about seven to eight pages inn reults, and now this essay.

All that remainsm is my rather large group assiginment where we are computer modelling the scattering effect of laser light. It's uber ghey, all maths programming so we finally cmoe up with two numbers that represent scattering co-efficents... i ask ya wat is the point, really!
My job in that group is to write the 20 page report, but i don't mind, im starting it next week and have three weeks to do it!

Uni blows goats! But glad to see i'm not alone

Its a long time between drinks for me at the moment. On average I only get to have a beer or two once a month :(. Mind you friday next week, $60, all you can drink beer and spirits, and all the maccas, KFC and pizza you can eat. Time to forget my name

:. Ahhh college, how I will miss you.
