i am now at 2, 758 words and im only halfway done.

actually, i think i've typed way more that i should. they wouldnt want a 6-paged-and-counting article. but at the moment, i dunno how to cut down. so i'll just have to continue typing my original content. after which, perhaps, i can try to slough off some big chunks.

and...

i've passed the deadline, which was 4 days ago. Help!
