reflection statement hardships (1 Viewer)

righto.
written the major, named it, polished it - all done.
written the reflection statement - BUT IM 200 WORDS OVER THE LIMIT. does anyone else agree that 1,500 words is not adequate enough in order to discuss all the different aspects they want us to talk about? Hate small word limits! Must start to edit!
do you think 200 words over is too much??? its microsoft word's word count so that includes the 'a's', 'it', 'and' 's etc etc.... do you reckon they will notice???

hehe, mine's 200 words over too, but I'm not really all that fussed, because the one's that have been put up on this site are over - Laz's at least is over by about 350, and he got 46/50

 

[Llyrai]

I've got about 1350 or something. Its not that bad.

 

[*Flutterby*]

i wrote 1494 and yes 1500 is crap lol

It's just annoying... i have a couple of sample RS' that are so condensed and polished you couldn't stick a toothpick in there... pretty depressing...

Oh, and I finally concluded my reflection statement. My friend tells me that it sounds like a speech from the Academy Awards.

 

[jhakka]

All the Reflection Statements I've read are either boring or "I love myself, I'm so great!"

 

[mayhemily]

yeah. I hate the ones that uses many words that you have never heard before. It makes me want to burn all my work and assume the foetal position and cry at my inadequacy.

 

[tomorrows_angel]

are they sposed to use long words? mine doesnt use long words. Its quite simplistic actually. when i showed it to someone, they said it seemed "really chatty". i didn't think that was a good thing so i tried to fix it... but it's still not good!

 

[*Flutterby*]

mine doesnt have many long words wouldnt be i love myself so its prob boring as all hell lol

 

[jhakka]

Mine got to the point. I used a lot of words relating practically everything back to the syllabus points. At least the markers won't miss out on that.

 

[glitterfairy]

Hmm...

I'm trying to go for the 'long words that no-bodys head of'. Unfortunately, it's difficult working with words I'm not familiar with...

I feel like resuming the foetal position too... I just spent half an hour editing the FIRST PARAGRAPH of my reflection statement... this stuff is pathetic...

 

[jhakka]

I didn't think it was possible for anything to be that bad.

 

[glitterfairy]

Welcome to my world. I suck, I know...

 

[jhakka]

Wouldn't I only be in your world if I spent half an hour editing my first paragraph?

 

[glitterfairy]

Yeah.... ugh you're making me sound even more like the idiot I am... I'll shut up now...

 

[jhakka]

I'm sorry. I just find it fun to be technical.

 

[fuckfoot]

mine has the odd big word here and there
(doesn't it seem strange that the only way i can describe a 'big word' is by calling it a 'big word'? evidently, THIS is going well)
AND i think i sound up myself
ahhhh, it's too hard to say "look, my work has a shitload of integrity" wihtout implying "my mw is the epitome of literature"
am i the only one who thinks this? am i really just self-absorbed? oh, the revelations that come with this subject.
