And all I keep doing is thinking of photography, perhaps I really should have quit my history degree to do photography at uni.. shame it all costs so much!

Obviously thinking about photography wasn't enough so here's a pretty poor photo of what I'm meant to be doing!

Anybody else find themselves doing this?

Work best that way! I'll give a gold star to anyone who can guess which degree I do and what my current essay is on!

lol, wasn't a hard guess really.. yeah I do History but the essay isn't strictly just hitler and spain, it's:

'To what extent was the international response to the civil war in Spain motivated by ideology? Discuss with reference to at least 3 great powers'.

Sounds great ey? :p

Ey? Eh? Are you Canadian at heart? :D

Mmm... I haven't written an essay in ages (did one first year, Russian Lit) but I have to say I'm pretty good at writing them from a science (math/physics) kid. I didn't think I'd ever say it, but I kinda miss essays. Good luck!

Cheers! I'm on 850/1500 words now, hoping to get it finished within the next hour.. I have everything I have to write planned out so that shouldn't be too hard, just takes time referencing and putting it all together etc.

That's a fascinating topic. How can you be procrastinating?

I should be studying influence of transposable elements on phenotypes right now. Maybe I should switch to history? :D

True, it is quite interesting.. learning how Britain, America and France just stepped back and let Hitler and Mussolini intervene as much as they wanted (although under the smoke-screen of the Non-Intervention Act which was a sham). It kind of transcends into the whole appeasement issue.

Your work looks awful but i'm terrible at science!
