All the right words but not necessarily in the right order

It's a new month and very exciting because we will be going on holiday at the end of it! But also a lot to do before we go both at work and at home! On Monday (the last day of the holiday weekend) I worked from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on my final Diploma essay. It is weeks since I worked on it so it took me ages to get back up to speed on it, but after a couple of hours I was into my stride and I worked really really hard. At 6.30 Grandma came for tea and we had a pleasant meal and chat, at 9 o'clock I excused myself and went upstairs to continue working - and the great news is that by midnight I had finished the first draft of my essay. I am very happy with the content, and the quotes are all properly referenced. All it will need in a few days is a final going over to make sure it reads smoothly and to make any adjustments necessary. It reminds me a bit of the Morecambe and Wise sketch where Eric is playing Grieg's piano concerto really badly. Andre Previn gets annoyed with him and tells him that he is playing "all the wrong notes". Eric then grabs Andre Previn by the lapels and says "I'm playing all the right notes - but not necessarily in the right order." Well that's my essay! 

Finishing the first draft means that I will definitely be able to post it off before the holidays.
