How late is too late (2 Viewers)

[HUNT]

Well......... Um ........ I've started my project..., done a bit of writting and research. I've even started my essay, however i watched "much ado about something" on Sunday 18th, and got really interested in the Shakespeare conspiracy and kinda want to change my topic. This may not be the smartest thing to do BUT i just wanted to know if i'd left it too late .......How late is too late???????

Well when is your project due?

 

[Sarah168]

what was your original topic? how different is this idea to your original topic?

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

I don't think there is a time when it's 'too late' (although you wouldn't exactly want to be changing topics a couple of weeks before it's due ), I think it's up to you, and how much work you are willing to put into it to make up for the time you've lost. Good luck anyway

 

[nessie_lee]

i rekon it depends on how much time you've put into your old topic.. if i had done the hard yards, i would be sticking to it....

WOW thanks everyone for your replies, i love the attention ....Anyway my first draft is due in 8 weeks ... i think i'm just getting bored of my topic... and i don't really think i've put in a great deal of work into my topic because well i guess i'm just not as interested as before and i don't like where my topic is taking me, as it is not initially what i wanted to do BUT i think i'll be fine .... some people can do 2000+ essays overnight thanks Ziff

My original topic was on Nostradamus... i was doing an investigation of the historically debatable and controversal works and life of Nostradamus. Was going to do this by researching in depth five different people from different time frames and why/ why not they like/dislike Nosty and reasons for opinions. Now i'm doing a media investigation on the 1994 movie "Nostradamus", in comparison to (what other people think of) his life. so now i guess i'm analysing how people (producers of the movie) in modern society view Nosty's life and how they portray him aswell as reasons for it. What i wanted to change my topic to was The shakespeare conspiracy, where i guess i would research reasons for doubt of the legitimacy of shakespeare as the creator of ...well ..shakespearean plays and reasons behind the doubts? yeah..... that's all

 

[Sarah168]

u have heaps of time so go with the topic u like and ull be fine..

 

[HUNT]

I like conspiracies they're so interesting a good website for finding weird conspiracy stuff is rense.com , they have alot of general weird stuff on that website

 

[HUNT]

Thanks sarah 168 and dejavoux, guess your right i do have alot of time (thank god), i think i'm going to change my topic .....thanks

So basically your point of historical controversy is the debate over whether or not Shakespeare actually wrote the plays that his name is on?

Hmm, interesting idea. You seem like you have a lot of time. I mean, I've got my topic and everything but with my other majors being much longer I haven't really begun work on this one properly yet and I'm not too worried.

I say if you're really interested in this more than your other topic (which I think was quite interesting in itself) then go for it.

 

[HUNT]

(i feel like i have to say thanx to anyone who replies) So..... thanx for your reply, i was talking to friends at school who have other major works and they havn't been doing ex history either!!!!!!!!! makes me feel better .......... i'll probably use my nosty info for my religion interest project (all my work won't be wasted) But yeah, it's nice to know someone else finds Nosty interesting

yup! i agree! it's so much better doing something you're more interested and passionate about. that way, you'd be more motivated to work on it!

Hey Hunt

I'm doing 4U English and Drama and History Extension, and quite honestly not only have I not started my History, I've also just decided to change my topic!

I was originally doing the death of Christopher Marlowe, but it's so boring and it's getting really repetitive, so I'm going to change!
At the moment, I'm thinking of Hannibal (I'm in love with the man, he's brilliant) so yeah. That's where I stand. Oh and don't stress, we have HEAPS of time!
