Quick! I need an opinion or two on something from you academic-types!

Hokay. So y'all know the esasy [of awesome] I was talking about before? Well, I'm intending tomorrow to go down to the Reid library and primary-source it up [or HSS-reserve it up, whichever you find most amusing], so, does anyone think it would be incredibly foolhardy to leave the essay I write today 200-500 words short of the word count so that I can fit in quotes and stuff about quotes?
Or do you all think it'd be wiser to write the whoole thing, then go back and footnote ideas and cut/paste stuff in? Personally I'm more fond of the first option, but as I am fresher I will humbly ask for guidance.

Perseus is teh bomb.


That is all.

What I tend to do is write an essay, and when I can't be bothered making a decent argument, I leave a gap, finish the essay, and go off and find sources that support my points, and stick them into the gaps.

hehe, sounds like a good idea to me, Dr. Tom. Thanks :D
