Try and find long-winded ways of saying things. Or do some more on it and don't be so lazy

and it's about money by martin amis + the importance of being earnest by oscar wilde and whether people have both a false and true personality.

hehe I go through my essay and change all the "don'ts" and "couldn'ts" etc to "do not" and "could not" and just generally add some more waffle in

i just went through it to find "don't"s and things like that but i think i'm managing to avoid that in the first place now because it's english lit + i get chased if i do that. (i did all the time in higher english!). but it's done. 150 words short. but quality, not quantity! it'll do!

Hehe yeah my AH English teacher got on at me for that and I managed to break the habit but at Uni i seem to have fallen back into it

150 ain't that bad, is there not a like limit or percent that your essay can be over or under by cos thats what it's like for me at uni, they say like 1500 but it can be 1400 or 1600 if that makes sense.
