Thank you two so much, I really needed to hear that today.
I have just woken up and am completely panicked. I don't know where I'll be living in 2 weeks time, my mum is on my back about that 24/7 when I should be concentrating on my work, and we've run out of money. Literally. We're eating pasta and tinned tomatoes every meal. We have bread but nothing to put on it. We've got about 50p and that has to last till Friday. The house is a tip, it's disgusting. And to top it off I missed my appointment with my therapist. Now I have to wait till Wednesday and have 3 appointments on that day. We haven't any money for petrol so I'll have to walk, it's like 4 miles there and back. And I was supposed to get library books today, for my work.
The 10,000 word dissertation is on my own chosen subject: Angela Carter and the Marquis de Sade: The Plausibility of Sadeian Feminism. I have about 6,000 words to go. Two of the essays are on the British Postmodernist Novel and two are on Masculinities in the 19th and 20th Centuries. They all have to be about 2,000 words each. I haven't started them. The hand in date, the extension deadline I had to officially appeal for, is in 7 days.
