Break was not a good idea.

Have started putting my essay together properly. I had 3,800 words. I now have 2,900 in the two final documents. I'm trying to finish the other sections off and find ways to make them link but it's not looking good. There's a whole section that's in the final copy as well which I think is just too detailed so I'll probably have to lose some stuff from there. I got really complacent when I realised I could get away with only doing another 300 words.
So now I have a long night ahead of me with caffeine, nicotine, feminism, Freud and Foucault. Oh joy. I know the optimum time for me to work is after 2am too - less distraction because everyone else is asleep, there's no road noise (I live on a main road and the noise can be really distracting at times), there's nothing good on TV. And I sort of realise that if I'm staying up all night to finish a piece of work it must be really important so I get worried enough to get on with it. I'm trying to convince myself it's due tomorrow but I keep remembering that it's not due till Tuesday. I know that's only one extra day but it's nearly 24 extra hours, a lot can get done in that time.

Anyway, I'm gonna go make a coffee then get back to work. Anyone else still awake and working?


EDIT:
I take it no one else is still up then? Lol!
Am at 3, 457 words. I want to try to get another 200 or so done before I go to sleep so there isn't loads left to do tomorrow. Well, ideally I want to get it all done except a conclusion but I don't think that'll happen.

I have a lecture at 10 and am debating whether to stay awake and go, or just go to bed and get up around midday to finish my essay. I'm pretty tired and it's a two hour lecture which looks boring after the first 4 slides (I checked on Blackboard). I'd probably fall asleep. . . but then I haven't been to many of these lectures (2 out of 8 I think. Oops!) so I really ought to go.

I want to get my essay done by 8pm tomorrow so I can print it off before the library shuts at 9. I don't want to leave myself without enough time to get it finished before then. I know that 'deadline' is flexible, but it'll be so much stress getting it printed on Tuesday.

See how long I stay awake for and how much work I get done now. If I'm not achieving anything I might as well get some sleep.

[/procrastination]. Lol!
