My official word count that was declared on the front page was 2,138 (we are allowed +10% of word limit, so effectively it's 2,200). The example we were shown was 45 pages long, but our lecturer did say that was too much.
I'll share a sneaky tip when it comes to table and graphs.
When importing from Excel into Word they become part of the word count. This can have implications if a word-count is specified and the assignment has to be submitted in both electronic and hard copy. To get around this, I exported all my tables and graphs as images then pasted from file back into Word. As images are not 'words', this circumvents any word-count problems. Be warned, there are some professors/lecturers who'll mark you down for exceeding the word count.

Sneaky way indeed haha. Certainly some things to bare in mind for the future. Thank you
When i was at college earlier, we were ask to go to entrance for the 2 minutes silence for 11/11/11, loads of people joined, they had students speaking parts from the bible (not for myself) but any how it was good, we lay a poppy reef, from the college and a war veteran lay one to.
Glad it happened, was good to see everyone in college together.
Just had a brilliant evening out at a gig in Middlesbrough tonight.

Am I seeing straight? Jimmi posting in the "What's made you
happy today?" thread?
Christ - that gig must have been good!

Yes, you are seeing this correctly and it was a good night.
Shall I keep the good posts coming.
I've also just looked at my Flickr and I have 8 favourites on my photo of 7461 on the 7 this afternoon - thanks for the favourites everyone.
I am feeling quite positive today which is something I haven't felt in quite some time.
I am starting a voluntary placement this afternoon and I'm quite looking forward to see what will unfold over the next twelve months.
What sort of voluntary work are you doing? Or is it all hush hush.
Mind, make sure you change your mood on here, to reflect your new found positivity.

I can remain positively apathetic for at least another three hours yet.
I don't mind telling people what I do, or where I work, so it's not hush hush so to speak. However, I do not wish to reveal the organisations I work/volunteer for on a public forum.
I may finally have a idea what i want to do for my 3rd year at uni - if i get in of course....
Receiving two complimentary Steven Knight Media Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire fleet handbooks through the post, with a nice £20 cheque to complement them.
That can go towards the T in the Park savings!

Ooh sounds nice!
Can you buy them online, out of interest?
Anyway, I'm happy because it's 3 hours till Battle Day in my clan on Clash of Clans!
And it's non-uniform tomorrow for Children in Need!

Not sure...
The North East one is due for publication in January 2015 and some of my photos will feature in that too.

I like the look of that Cumbria & North Lancashire one like, and that EYMS one!

Getting discharged from hospital a short while back.
What seemed to be a funny turn on a GNE bus yesterday afternoon (my cover would have well and truly blown if I got the driver to call an ambulance), ended up with me being checked for bleeding on the brain and meningitis.
After tests, scans, more tests, more scans and a lumbar puncture - I got the all clear and came home earlier on!
Bruised, scratched, sore, achey - but alive and well!

Glad your all right!
Bleeding on the brain is quite serious, a family member died as a result of bleeding on the brain.

Pleased to hear your ok mate
The morphine was good!
Had no idea what was up at the time, I just had a funny turn.
The docs were worried, especially when the only thing taking away the pain was the morphine.
It was only when they started voicing their concerns that the realisation kicked in.
