There's something about this year, it's the year of "stress us all out with Uni work" or something...*sigh*

The small word limit is sooo evil!! Like my stupid social change review essay, which wanted me to review ten readings, take quotes, analyse and write my personal reflection on the quotes, as well as do another 5 case studies based on the topics, and write an introduction and "a couple of concluding paragraphs summing up all the topics and the overall theme" all in 2000 words! I figured, given about 500 for intro and conclusion, I had 1500 to spare, and separate this into the 5 topics, I had around 300 words to fit in each topic, where I needed to put in two quotes, reflect and analyse the topics and quotes, as well as write up a case study...
In the end, I just took away the "quotes" from the word count (since technically, I did not write those!), and JUST made it within the 20% give or take mark..hehe, i.e. below 2400 words!

Taking Tree Cores in Thailand? That sounds fun! Lucky her!!

Hehehhehee..."Em" in a familial way huh? :P
