To be frank, the worst thing that one can do is to gorge on large amounts of food while breaking fast.Originally posted by the Bear:wah...
some of my old colleagues seem to gain weight during the fasting month.. i have a feeling they actually eat more when they break their fast than they do on a normal day because we were all too busy to properly eat..
right now, i feel kinda bloated... i didn't eat much (when compared to when i was well) but maybe the stomach does really shrink when you eat less
The stomach has been inactive for 13 1/2 hours. If you subject it to large amounts of food at one go, then don't be too surprised if it starts balking at the perpetual gastronomic avalanche after slacking for so many hours.
What I do is to aim for around 70% fullness while breaking fast. Then for supper, I go for a smaller second round of food - a sandwich, or something else lightweight. -
*me peeps inside*
Anyone alive in here? -

To each his own, I guess.

there is a total lack of sports on tv.. so it was the races or golf.. and golf is worse than watching paint dry for me
well, right now, i'm watching game 4 of the Yankees/Tigers series.. i hope the Tigers win -
Right now I'm trying to edit a HR term paper which my group members and I produced.Originally posted by the Bear:there is a total lack of sports on tv.. so it was the races or golf.. and golf is worse than watching paint dry for me

It's making me puke all over the keyboard. I basically have to take three different sections written by three different people and put them together as a coherent whole. In addition, I have to proofread the essay for grammatical errors.
Worst of all, though, is the summarising part. How the heck do you cut down a 4500-word first draft into a 3000-word final draft without sacrificing too much breadth and depth?
-
try
i did that bit already
but if it's over, let it be over.. i remember the lecturer telling me if i put in this and this and this, she would have given me extra credit.. i had to remove those to keep to the word limit.. which she didn't care about anyway..
still, check with the lecturer first, else it's points thrown away -
I sensed a hint of Bleu a few pages back.
/back to being buried alive with design work.
-
get back to work!
but seriously, always take a break every 3/4 hour or something.. that's the limit of human attention for normal people -
Well, my lecturer seems pretty lenient. I suppose she'll overlook an extra couple of hundred words. But she certainly won't stand for 1500 words over the limit.
I'm thinking of dropping a couple of points which are rather tenuously argued for in the essay. There just doesn't seem to be any way to make them any more cogent. That should chop off a few hundred words off the current draft. Doing that, of course, is subject to the approval of my group members who may protest at having their handiwork being thrown out.
Elsewhere, I'm doing lots of trimming and summarising. I've also been compacting long, over-drawn points to be more straight-to-the-point.
That said, it's still a bit of an uphill task. -
yeah.. i guess anyone who has been through the uni will know that feeling (except the math and engrg students )
keep at it... good luck! -

For some reason, my uni life is spent proofreading, ghostwriting, summarising and editing of alot of essays. Essays is basically my forte, it has saved me from the jaws of failure many times
