Crammed as a double entendre
When your assignment says that you need only write a single double-spaced page, don’t get cocky and think that it’s oh-so-easy. Because when you’ve got to paraphrase a 12 page research paper — covering all the points, adding your own criticisms, and generating ideas for possible research — and cram it all into a measly 23 lines, it sucks. Especially if you’re doing it at the last minute. So, man, even though it’s only one page, do yourself a favour and get it done in advance. It’ll still suck, but at least it won’t be like cramming an ostrich into a penguin and then cramming the penguin into a tightly clenched orifice.
