It is 5.20am, the morning before an essay is due, I'm halfway through it. I'm discussing Nietzsche's views on the 'herd' in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Thrilling stuff as you can imagine, so much so that I've started this blog. How should I plan this essay? I began writing your basic intro/3 paragraph/conclusion but that rapidly turned into a 1000 word discussion. Thankfully it's relevant.
Incidentally, this is the last essay I'll ever have to write for my undergraduate degree. I'm doing History and Politics at University. It's been a terrific 3 years, full of ups and downs, luckily more ups but the few downs have been quite low; mostly because I tend to leave essays to the morning they're due in, despite having 3 months notice of the deadline, the question, the lectures and seminars, and the reading list... it's a bit late to revolutionise my study method. My last ever essay... and I've chosen to do it on Nietzsche. Why couldn't I do it on something easy, like basic International Relations? or the difference between the Labour and the LibDem party?
As far as this brand new, squeaky clean, fresh, altogether promisingly interesting blog is concerned, I've still got to magically write 2300 words in the next 4 hours. Should be possible. Must be possible. Let's get cracking...
