Print a copy and burn a copy to a CD (or copy it to a floppy) before you go out celebrating. You don't want anything to happen to it.

When I read that this title was a finished dissertation, I thought you meant you just got your Ph.D. (which is usually what disseration refers to).

Yet finishing a big paper is always a good feeling regardless. Congrats! Have a nice nap. I'm going to procrastinate more on starting my master's thesis. *twiddles thumbs* :p

Excuse me, but a dissertation is a form of literary review, as opposed to a research project. Mine was counting towards my BA, its not just a big paper!
:D
:p

edit: i just realised how stupid what Ive posted looks. yeah, i guess it is just a big paper in essence,but im still SO happy to have gotten it over with! :smash: !!!

Well done Nod, and seeing as you completely wrote it in the last WEEK, you did a pretty good job :D

And here's silly me thinking dissertations are supposed to take months of work.... ;) :D

Because, thats why :D

Congratulations!

I also have an 8000 word essay due for *thinks* 1-2 months.

Except, that mine is differentiating from yours, as it is an in depth analogy of three books, which are: The Da Vinci Code, Fahrenheit 451, and Forged Metal.

I recommend the book "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, as it is an oppinionated theory associated with the future of modern literature, yet it is combined with a futuristic plot, which categorises in the genre: Science fiction thriller.

Wow, i'm impressed... 8000 words. Must have been intensly frustrating, attempting to successfully accomplish the requirements, with minimum repetition! Or rambling for that matter ^_^

P.S. I'm dreading doing anything to that extent *shivers*, well at least I don't have to worry about it for a while! (I'm currently 15 years of age)
Fortunately, my essay enabled me to adapt from the idea's within the plot, and evolve them, yet yours is based on pure originality! I commend you on your accomplishment! *claps*

Thankyou. IT wasnt as hard as it seems, merely an examination of the extent to which reductionism plays a role in Biomedicine; which isnt as great as it once was due to a lot of intergration going on between therapies etc. and Holism in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Plus, i looked at the role Dualism plays in both, and how Vitalism is displayed in TCM (which in the strictest sense it actually isnt). So i had a lot to talk about. Almost too much actually :D

Because something you rush to do in a week very probably could have been done better if it was done over the course of a couple of months.

Plus more free time :D

Well I guess this is true, and I cant really talk as I often leave things to the very last min. But still.

and yes I know I'm coming across as a complete old woman. :p :D

What, adrenaline actually decresses thought process in general. It activates your most essential survival instincts and that is why you always seem in a muddle when you are stressed till you finally get your flow back and it all starts pouring out of your head in nice long trains of thought.
