<p>Words on Essay: This is my first time doing anything like this and I think I wrote WAY too little especially compared to what ^^ wrote, soā€¦964 words.</p>

<p>^, You do know heā€™s kidding right; you canā€™t have negative margins. 964 sounds fine if youā€™re concise. Iā€™m a little wordy and mine came out be to be ~1400 words.</p>

<p>Not only are negative margins impossible, but Botany and Political Science are not choices for fields, and 9001 is a universally suspicious number on internet forums. ;)</p>

<p>Funny ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  is funny.</p>
