Amber (elfkingdom) | 366 comments Hey all childishly excited about this and had to share it: I've just received my first ever fan letter :-) Would framing it be taking things too far? lol

message 2513: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments Only 400 words to go...

No, but we have to write and perform our own play, in Brecht style.
Now THAT is hard.

Uhoh!! Sheldon will get priority, cos she's doing uni assignments!! Maybe you'd better send her to bed early Carmel, so you can use it!! LOL


message 2521: by [deleted user] (new)

@jess just keep telling everyone they are watching a play while preforming your play hahah
sucks you didn't get to see any plays would have made it much easier on you!

It's normal Jessica...not sure what age it stops, but not any time soon for you...LOL


message 2526: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments Well, I have my own computer, and ive locked myself away in front of it for the last few hours starting/finishing this assignment.
Surprisingly, Ive only done this a few times this year. I can think of numerous assignments in the pasta few months that ive had done weeks before the due dates-and gotten good marks :)

Never mind Carmel, you have it back now! :)


message 2529: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments Gah,' stress levels get tooooo high is correct' Brenda!
Note to self: Always do assignments when they are handed out.

I JUST FINISHED!!!! YES!
Best feeling ever, finishing an assignment 10:30 at night before its due. Such a relief. Im going to have a long, cold drink and go to bed.
With out reading, I think. Im so tired!

Anyway, tonights not the worst.
Last term I had a maths report due Thursday.
I worked on it 6-9PM Tuesday night, 4-12 Wednesday, and finished it lunch time Thursday. Worst few nights, ever.
BUTTT, I wasnt alone. 90% of year ten was in the library that lunchtime, finishing the same assignment.


message 2530: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments thanks :)
Im not to worried. I got 8/8, 10/10 & 8/8 for my last drama essay, so even if I get poor marks this time, Im still sitting on a pretty solid overall grade. And this essay is just 1/3rd of our marks for this topic.
Anyway. Look at me ranting about all this unnecessary stuff. Thats what happens when Im tired & stressed with time on my hands :)


message 2531: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments With pleasure!
Goodnight!

Congratulations on finishing well, Jessica, and being happy with it! Also on your previous marks for the same subject!!! :) At least you didn't do this time, what you did last term..LOL

Beds are always snug and warm at this time of the year Carmel, it's an awful time to get up, isn't it...barely light!!!

I prefer mornings too, for the same reason, Michael...
