We've had a bit of coursework set but I haven't done any of it.
Since Christmas I've been to about 3 hours of classes in total.
I don't see how other people have the energy to go so often.

I'd have been chucked out by now if I'd only gone in that much... I missed 5 lecturers last year and had to plea to the head of studies to be allowed to stay in uni...

I am in the process of getting support though, so I'm going to blitz all my work in the summer term.

I have almost finished my essay, given up for the night but I'll finish it off tomorrow. Then that's pretty much me, just need to get sorted for Mallorca.

I can't stand people who bitch about how much work they have to do.
If you know how to do the work, you have no excuse not to do it.
I know I have work to do, and I know how to do it. It's motivation that's hard to muster, mainly because of depression.

I'm really bad at keeping on top of my work... but the thing is I generally do each piece of work 6 or 7 times as I panic that it's not good enough...

I don't do any work because I'm too retarded to go to uni but there aren't any jobs around so I don't really have a choice.

I have the motivation... I just can't get over the fear that whatever I do will be bad... I fear being judged at the best of times, so the idea of being graded terrifies me lol

Ah, I could have written that myself!

We finish for easter on friday so with it being the last week I'm only in uni for an hour on monday and then two hours on friday so I'm hoping I can somehow find a little motivation then. Fingers crossed and all that at least! xD

It's better to not succeed because of lack of motivation than lack of ability.

I'm getting pretty bored of feminism and Foucault. I have 3,350 words out of 4,500. Had an accidental nap earlier that meant I didn't do anything for about 3 hours so was all stressed and couldn't concentrate. I feel like I've been working non-stop since November - there hasn't been a day where I've not had work I'm meant to be doing. Even when I wasn't actually working on an assignment I was worrying about it. I'm starting to lose the motivation for work - my brain is giving up. I know that I've got constant work for the next 2 months as well. An 8,000 word project report to write (including a full literature review and stats which I don't understand), a presentation on aforementioned project to prepare and practice, and exams to revise for. I really need to get a job for after uni as well.
It's hard to motivate yourself when you know there isn't an end to it for a while.

Having said that, I'm looking forward to Tuesday evening - will have handed in this essay and will have spent time with my supervisor going through all the stats for my research project. By 5pm on Tuesday the two things which are massively stressing me out at the moment will be dealt with. That's going to feel so good!

Anyway, procrastination over. Back to Foucault. Yay.

You really don't. It's not only your motivation it will effect, but your ability too.

At least I'd fit into a nice little box that could be moved around and stacked and organised.
Rather than just being a non-entity.

being in a box isn't all its cracked out to be... only advantage really is the whole "the enemy you know is better than the one that you don't" thing

I don't have depression so can't really say much about that (though it sounds awful)

bob, I'm doing Psychology with Social Science. This essay's for social science - a critical exploration of power and sexuality in modernity. The project is psychology and I think I have to pass it to get accredited (I'm sure I remember being told that).

Finally reached 3,500 words. Ridiculously tired considering it's only 11 but I wanted to get to 4,000 before I go to bed. I'm going to uni tomorrow to print all the different sections off so I can read through it all and make links and move stuff about etc. I have a horrible fear that at least 2 of the bits I've written don't really link in with anything else. If I have to get rid of them I have to find another 800 words!

Sorry, but I disagree. There are things which can obstruct uni work in spite of knowing how to do it.



Random radio ___________This spiral
Static on tv ____________Has worn a groove so deep
Losing count of _________Can’t climb out
All the days and weeks ___Pathetic, painful need

Thank you for all of your help and support. I will no longer be coming to RYL. Semi-explanation will be inside my profile.
