"To be or not to be"... a complete dissertation? THAT'S the question!..

"Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of misfortune" (and the Art History Lecturer's wrath) and just accept that I have 5175 words for my dissertation - of which 632 are made up of quotes!!...."or to take up arms against a sea of troubles" (i.e pick up the British Library's worth of books and newspaper articles I have just launched with gay abandon across my dining room floor and somehow, find something more worthwhile discussing and that actually makes sense and doesn't betray the fact that I've no real idea what I'm talking about when it comes to Post-modernism, Post-feminism, Intertexualitiy blah blah blah!!!!) Now that really is the question!
answers on a postcard (or a comment in the box!!!) xxx ;-)
