yer, that's always the way to go.

i can write essays, i just fuckin hate doing it.

[isoprax]

I went thorugh all of highschool without being properly shown how to write one.

I got pissed off and taught myself years later. Best way to do is with one of those GED books...probably called something else over where you are. but it's the highschool equivalancy test prep book. has all the stuff they're supposed to teach you but dont in highschool. essays included.

[Paddy]

we get taught how to write essays at school in this country :)

[gypsy_cream]

i didnt get taught properly..


paddy get off forums and start writing

[decadnids]

arrgh, i wouldn't even class it as an essay to be honest, but the college do. i've just got to choose a producer/engineer and ramble on about gear and techniques.

tbh, once i get settled down i'll do it in an hour.

do one on cristian.
you probably know enough about him to get going.
use discogs for background info and search this forum as he has posted a lot of info about his studio and gear he is into.

[bitch one]

i was the king of writing short essays. i once got a C for less than a side of A4!

by the way, that sounds more like actual fun than an essay...

[Daddys Girl]

I used to really enjoy writing politics essays @ college/uni. Only on the rare occasion would I actually get it outta the way weeks in advance... I usually ended-up doing the 'night before it's due in' routine though! The pressure seemed to be a good drive

[gypsy_cream]

did you hand it in ok then paddy?

[Lighter Thief]

The dog ate it, apparently.

[Konx-om-Pax]

get it done asap. then get fucked when u hand it in

[dirtyho]

I just finished my MA dissertation - hell on earth trying to fit it into the edit schedule. Thank god I'm done! Good luck Nik-Nak

[gypsy_cream]

hope you failed

[notorious J.I.M]

I'm going to have to hand in my MA essay the day after my birthday so I'm trying to get it out of the way now. The hardest part is starting and I've done the first 1500 words.

[Paddy]

well, i found out i don't have to hand it in until tomorrow. now i'd better decide who to do it on! i was thinking Autechre from an electronic side of things, as there's a very comprehensive article on them (or as comprehensive i'm gonna get when it comes to Autechre) on sos (and they're very techy), but then from an engineers viewpoint, i might do it on toby wright (the engineer/producer on Metallicas '...And Justice For All'), cos he employs some really unconventional and and fucked up mic-ing techniques, and gets good results.

och i don't know...

[Paddy]

fucksake, that ^ could've been about 100 words of an essay!

I'm proof reading mine right now and trying to get rid of a thousand words... Thank god indeed :)

I really got to love writing essays on my MA I have to say, never thought i'd say that.

[Hand on the Plow]

I tell you what though.. having not slept for about 40 hours now and the audio and visual hallucination's really aren't helping.. I keep seeing flashing electricity out of the corners of my eyes.

[Paddy]

well, i ended up rabbiting on about authechre. i probably should've done it on toby wright, but i didn't. not to worry, i just aced a small test on dba readings and the structure of the human ear, so i feel ok.

[bitch one]

blimey, writing essays on autechre...again, may i say that sounds like fun rather than work?

[gypsy_cream]

its well fun but if you leave it till the last minute the fun kinda disappears

[hektor ruiez]

sounds geeked out.

[dirtyho]

I hated it because we only had to write one thing, the dissertation, and it hung over you the whole two years. We never got to use the time allocated as we were working on projects that run over. So then you have to write the whole thing cold in a week and a half, and if it's not good enough you don't pass. It's just unneccesarily stressful. Our deadline was September and I'm only the second editor (out of six) to have done it!

Nasty, we had quite a bit of practice on my course before the big one.. and luckily we could work at home too.

I was supposed to hand mine in back in Sept too ;)
