whooooooooooo i just have to write this: i wrote my research proposal in a record breaking 20min! in fact 10 mins excluding all the references and the formatting=D AND i hit 294 words in the 1st try without having to shrink my word count HAHA. i think it's really cause i did my presentation plus 2 rehearsals alr and i learnt how to select the main point to fit it into a 10min presentation so 300words is not too difficult really=p
