Writing essays the day before they are due is something I recognise. Although that's when I come up with the best ideas. You study in cambridge?

not so much study as get by, haphazardly, doing as little as I need to and skipping far too many lectures. At least at this time of term, when everyone ran out of adrenaline a fortnight ago.

I always leave things til the last minute. Invariably. Even if the day before is filled with other things that need doing and I have time to kill at the weekend and I know it needs doing, I won't believe it, you know? I'll tell myself "oh, you've got until Thursday" even if there's no time at all inbetween, I'll make up times when I could do it - the night before, the morning before, getting up at 7am and doing it before my lectures. It's like fractals. I try and persuade myself there's always more time, until there isn't, and then I drink coffee until my hands shake and I can barely type. Still, the essays I write this way seem to go down much better than the one's I agonise over. So it's all good :)

mmm... that's exactly the way I work. Although, my parents refuse to let me stay up all night.

He is singularly uninspiring. However, the major reason why the Catline stuff got him so far was cause he made most of it up...the actual evidence for the Catiline conspiricy is...low.
I did a 2500 word essay in 2 hours yesterday! It might even make sense...I haven't had the nerve to look back over it yet, and I can't at the moment, cause I'll wake up Sharon.
