Motivation pleeease!
 

Ok, I, like so many of you, am off to Uni soon. I'm going on Sat, and if my dad gets his way, that means leaving at 8:30am.

I haven't started packing yet. My room is a tip and half of my clothes need washing/ironing. OH, I also have no idea where half my paperwork is.

So, I thought I'd come up and get on with everything...only I can't be bothered. Anyone else in the same boat? Any ideas on how to get me off my incredibly fat, lazy ass?

Oh, I've also just realized that I have no idea where my Mp3 player is and desperately need to transfer the songs to my laptop before I die from too much of the same music. =[

It's a sad day in Mockingbirdville.

When I find it hard to get motivated I crank up the music, that helps me be less bored. Sorry not much help but good luck with everything anyways

GO, AMY, GO GO GO.

:bath:

Aimy, dont be mean to yourself.
As half of your name I insist you refer to yourself as the gorgeous amazing Mockingbird that you are.

Now, get packing and come live with me :)

I'm in the same place,just in my second year of uni.
I have no suggestions, because yesterday,I decided to do some packing after work,and I went to the cinema and the pub,and today instead of doing it I walked along the beach for 3 hours listening to music.

=D

Hmmm. It really didn't work. I ended up...

1. Going to town, shopping a bit, having lunch.
2. Taking my duvet to be cleaned.
3. Watching TV
4. Going round a mates to get my hair dyed and I ended up staying for tea.

Woops.

just throw it all in a suitcase at 8.15am on saturday morning.

I packed all my stuff up like a month ago ;]

Just blitz it! Then arrange to meet a friend OR find a friend who is equally disorganised and spend one day at your house packing and vice versa making it a rule that until your room is done you cant leave and do anything fun.

But fun is more funner than packing. =[

That'd be a really great idea if I hadn't cut off ties with the one friend I had who's going to Uni.

Throw everything on the floor, then u have to pack it up :)

But if your dreading that wait til you unpack :P

just do a bit very hour or two then give yourself some time.
you will be fine, or you could just pack saturday morning.

Aye. Work for a little bit, do a little bit of cleaning/tidying, then give yourself a break. Find something to motivate you towards - aren't you excited about going to uni? Getting it done and out of the way will mean that you've got more time to play and have fun later in the week. Also, try to make a list of all of the things that you have to do - I don't know whether it's just me, but that feeling satisfaction of crossing another thing off the list can't be rivaled!

And just think - A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down!

Good luck, lovely Amy!

i left mine til last minute last year.
i leave on monday to go back. i've not sorted anything out. most of my stuff is in bin bags at someones house. all i have to take are clothes,cds and a few books. but they won't all fit in my case.
so, some of it is going in my mums case because she's going to italy a few days after i've gone back.
if i forget my contract and stuff- i am fecked!

Ok... my sillyness just says buy it all again when you get ther./... put that is just a ridiculous idea. What I would say is get on with it (not ment to sound harsh) but then when you get to uni you will have everything you need and then you can have more time getting to know people and enjoying the first few weeks rather than being annoyed that you can't find something or you have forgotten something because you left it all until last minute. Having said that... i had my first year at uni last year and i left home on the sunday but didn't really pack until the friday. so i would say there i time.
I hope you enjoy uni and that it all goes well for you.
