My concentration is so poor though. An hour of work and I can't do anymore. I've 3 pieces of work due in in the next 3 weeks, then 3 weeks till exams start...ARGH
i've done no work.
i am going to the library tomorrow, i have to promise myself that i will go tomorrow.
it's already been over three weeks of doing nothing when i was meant to be preparing my portfolio.

That's the same for me. On Thursday I was up at uni and spend the whole day there, but when I came home I had done practically nothing. Nowhere near what I'd needed to do. Oh well.
My mentor is trying to get me to ask for an extension for one piece of work, but I've already had it changed from a 15 minute presentation to a 4000 word essay, I'd feel cheeky asking for more special measures.
You should at least ask for the extension. You can still aim to get it done by the original deadline but it gives you a bit more breathing space. If it's being offered, you're not asking you're just accepting what they're offering.
Hold in there guys, the end of work will be here soon and we cna enjoy the summer!

Im at home, i cant concentrate on work, i hat ethis slow massive pc, i want my lap top damnit, but i left the thing at uni.
i need to write an essay. a 5 year old brother does not help
If you are referring to my chemistry midterm, it is tomorrow at 12 noon. (no shadow time as the rugrats call it) its 'only' worth 17.5% of my final grade. but luckily i have taken 2 previous chemistry classes that involve the stuff we are being tested over nomenclature, stoichiometry, and the general layout of the periodic table. My Calculus midterm (20% final grade) is on thursday at 1pm, then at 6pm on thursday is my 4th simeseter advanced solidworks midterm. And on friday i have a quiz for my strength of materials class that is worth 5% of my grade. AND it seems nobody will let me study or do homework while im home. this whole weekend i only was able to do 2 hours of homework, and that was because everybody was gone but me for that time. but on wednesday i have a 5 hour break between classes where i can cram.. but there are never free computers at the library, several of my homework projects require a computer. I need a laptop. nose to the grindstone time.

Hope all your tests etc go alright Brian. I had the same problem of not being able to work at home (my parents home), hopefully now I'm back at uni there'll be less distractions. It's a lot easier to tell my housemates to f**k off than it is to tell my parents!
Need to write about 800 words a day till Sunday, then Sunday I need to sort out my presentation. Then revision. Sigh. I was awake at 8 this morning. Was meant to get showered etc and start work at 9 but I'm still sitting here in my pjs.
Anyone have some spare motivation they want to donate? Or maybe just a good work ethic? Even better, if someone wants to write my research report (or presentation, or sit my exams for me) that would be great! Lol!

I have just lost it. I don't care any more....everyone is enjoying the sun and I just can't be bothered with anything. I am sitting online or watching dvd#s instead of working when I REALLY need to work hard for the next 5 weeks! I just can't be bothered with it any more! Uni SUCKS!
You made up your mind to torture mine!

& yes, I know the feeling. It was so nice and sunny today so I got no work done. And ate lots of ice cream. And I promised myself I'd go to the library tonight so I'd actually work, but I'm still sitting here! Oh dear.
i had an argument with one of my best friends yesterday because he is so ****ing annoying.
he just always goes on about how my degree is so easy & how it's basically not even a real degree because we don't have to do a dissertation & argh, it's so annoying because i know in parts it is true because he is doing a ****ing medicine degree and mine probably does seem a lot easier in comparison & the workload is definitely less but it really just isn't tactful at all to say that to me.
/rant.
Actually got my goal number of words done today fairly early (not trying to make anyone jealous!) but haven't achieved anything since then. Tomorrow is a new day though so can get a fresh start. Maybe I won't try getting up so early tomorrow - am shattered now.

^^, Linda, what is your degree in? You've probably already said, but I'm forgetful.
Today the library was packed with geographers at 8:30am all attempting to fill in their proposal and ethics forms which needed to be in today. Thankfully mine was finished, but the number of people just starting them was quite worrying.
