Ready to submit

OK, have trimmed my 1100 plus words to 982, which is within the 10% my tutor allows (just)

Managed to get in most of what I wanted to say, but no bibliography. Hope that doesnt cost me marks.

Just getting the formatting and type face sorted and then I shall print it to hand deliver tomorrow afternoon.

Don't think this one will be a Pass 1, but will be happy with anything over say 70%

Rome, Rome, off to Rome!! Oh and TMA03

Oooh, only 3 more days (well 2 really as today is 3/4s over) and I fly to Rome. More worryingly that means only 56 hours till TMA03 is due in

I now have 1100 superb words on Roman writers attitudes to the games and the difference between those attitudes.
Unfortunately the word limit is 900, and I am frozen with fear over what to remove. Dont want to make the same mistake as TMA02, when I took out all the atmospheric stuff from Man Reading and cost myself 2 or 3 points.

But neither do I want to go that far over (not sure if tutor would even accept it 200 words over) and loose marks because of that.

Decisions, decisions .....

My part 1 is dull beyond belief, and I am not sure it is even that good. Must check how many marks I am going to lose for that one being crap ...

Still, ROME!!! How cool is that?
Just been shopping (well a girl has to doesn't she) to buy some bits including a new coat and endless teeny tiny travel sizes of toiletries. Don't know why really- I never use full size ones, so why do I feel the need to cart teeny ones half way across Europe?

Oh well, that's another question for another day

You know what someone should invent?

Someone (the generic, someone else do it at work here you note) should invent something that looks through your essay for you and highlights possible uneeded words.

You would of course have to look at each bit, but it could suggest shorter ways of saying things and save you hours on trimming words, when your paper is great, just 200 word to long

I wonder how hard it would be to write?
