Bismark wasn't so much boring as really, really difficult and confusing - I had a terrible lecturer who rattled info off at 100 miles per hour with all these weird German names etc - I used to get lost and give up! I was just surprised that I managed to 'bluff' 1000 words - just. Needles to say my lecturer wasn't impressed at my ignorance! lol What essays have you got to write - are you doing GCSE's, A'levels or studying for a degree? Kaye x

Kaye, essays are so much more harder to do when they are on a boring topic! :-) Lucia

About 10 years ago as a mature student - I quite liked doing them, providing it was something I was interested in. Unfortunately I had to do one on Bismark (the man not the ship) and the Franco Prussian War - it was the hardest 1000 words I have ever had to write! lol Hope your essays aren't all too difficult or boring.
