    The longest I ever wrote was 15 pages and this was back in high school! So much research I had to do! But writing short essays like 5 paged ones.. especially for philosophy.. is fun! You can fill it up with a lot of info from references unless ur thesis is strictly on your opinion. How much is it worth?

    40% of my final grade. *sob* Yeah, it's actually not that hard. Everything is basically in the book. The hardest part is putting it into my own words and expressing my ideas. :(

    Topic is about religion. >.<

    lol. the longest report ever written in my life was a 30pg. report on the luxury goods industry in France. Funny thing is, during my presentation, all the girls were excited and nodding when I was talking about LV, Gucci, YSL, Hermes and Cartier. Yet all the guys were groaning about how expensive the stuff is. Ended up getting an A on the report.
