Awakened by the boom of rolling thunder

Dear Diary,

‘James’ T. Kirk (my tutor) has kindly offered me another extension until today. Naturally, this gives me just enough time to re-work the steaming pile of pooh that is my lame excuse of an essay. I am over-awed by just how much there is to learn about Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Mesoamerican urbanism. You could pick either one of those areas, dedicate a lifetimes worth of research and you’d still only be barely scratching the surface.

I am unsure whether or not to include the footnotes or not (they are running into over 700 extra words so far). In all likeliness I shall have to either omit them and post them up on the forum or perhaps email them.

This is such a tricky subject, I confess I am buckling under the strain, it is as though I am Atlas.

Righty ho, a cup of tea, bowl of porridge, and I am ready to begin re-working this paper. Last night I slumped asleep next to the keyboard at about four-thirty. This morning at nine I was awoken by a sudden loud thunderclap, and some more flashes of light and rolling thunder, fell asleep again for a few hours, and am up bright-eyed and bushy tailed, all set to re-work this bad boy.

Let’s see how today goes.
