You WILL get through this. It will be worth it in the end. This work will not go on forever, there will be a finish to it all. For however long you have work for, you can afford to see people less, go out less (or not at all), give up your morning lie-in, etc. The effort you put in now will be paid back with a good grade.
Do you have a timetable for your work? Sometimes having it written (or at least planned out) means that when you sit down to work you aren't thinking "I've got to work for the rest of the day", you can think "well, I need to work for an hour, then I can take a break, only an hour". It makes it seem like a less insurmountable task.
I've been up for 2 hours already and all I've done is sweep the carpet on the stairs (there's no socket close enough to plug in the hoover), drink about 3 cups of coffee, and consider getting showered. Today may not go well. I might take a 'break' from my report and presentation (theory of planned behaviour is getting dull!) and do some revision. Individual differences maybe - IQ, psychosexual development, psychopathology etc so pretty interesting. Ease myself into the revision. Sigh. So much to do, so little time. I want to be a first year again and wish I'd appreciated it at the time! First years should be shown third year's timetables so they understand how much harder and more time-consuming it will get. Then they can appreciate the ease of first year much more. (sorry to anyone in first year who's finding it hard - I did at the time, but now I realise that I had it so much easier then)
Good luck with work today everyone.

I have now realised that I cannot work at home. I need to be in the department or in a coffee shop. So this weekend I'll be getting very little done, unless I go up to Glasgow. And I'm working, so that eats into my time even more.
Hmm problem with making a time table for all the work I have to do is that my roster changes every week... The course I'm taking only started this year and you can notice that in the lack of organisation sometimes -_- I really hope I get my exam time table soon so I can make a decent planning.
Was a bit down this morning because I got stuck on a paper but turned it around by starting another one which is now finished (still need to correct grammar and stuff), go me! :)
well done for getting stuff done. Good luck guyss!
I wrote half my essay this morning. I thought I didn't know anything and then I started writing and it turned out I did. I love that feeling! Now I shall have a break and then hopefully finish it this afternoon. I really don't know why I procrastinate so much; nothing ever seems as bad once I actually start it =]
work is not going well =(
iv now got 4 overdue essays, exams in a week and a half...iv done 0 revision..i havent even read the books..and thus far i have 400 words of one essay.
when ur struggling to find the mostivation to just get out of bed and dressed trying to find the mostivation for uni work seems impossible. theres too much going on in my head and uni work just doesnt seem to matter atm
i cant believe i feel like that, cus i love my course, and i dont know what id do if i got kicked off
hmpf just one of those days i suppose
i got back to uni turned on my lap top and it just died. it does nothing and the charger just beeps when plugged in. the whole thing is ****ed.
i keep trying to turn it on but it wont. i am so annoyed.
so i went to watch a dvd and now my dvd player has frozen and wont work.
damn things.
i got all my essays in just dissertation left. it fills me with fear.
I have to do my dissertation over summer! So does everyone in my department, and one of my friends will have to sit at a computer for most of it!
That really sucks. I can't afford to take summer classes this year, but then again, I don't really need them. I have enough units where I'm nearly a full year ahead, but can't graduate early due to stupid prerequisites and stuff.
*hugs*
And Spoons--that happened to me once with my laptop! It did that for 3 days, and then an hour before I had an appointment with the computer tech people, it worked perfectly.
Thank you for all of your help and support. I will no longer be coming to RYL. Semi-explanation will be inside my profile.
It's not too bad, I suppose. Will need to use something like MSN to conduct some interviews with maybe since we won't be in the same country. Don't quite know how that will work. But if it's the only way it can be done so be it.
not gunna lie, i've done nothing today... again.
i am gunna really regret this in a weeks time when i'll have to stay up for five days straight just to be able to crank out the bare minimum i need to pass.
I was doing some revision earlier and started thinking about how much I need to know for my exams and how little I know now. Could feel myself getting panicked so had to force myself to focus on what I was reading. Not good.
4000 words done on my report. Need to finish my presentation and get practising - 9 days till I have to do it. Eep!
Am I allowed to start panicking?

I thought I'd posty in here ^_^ I'm a second year forensics student and though I love my course and my friends, the organisation of the course is RUBBISH! They are appalling, it's awful >.< I'm trying to get motivated to write a law essay, but it's very slow in coming...
Who Watches the Watchmen?
PM me any time, I'll answer you as soon as I can.
I have a SI awareness and a haematite and white bead bracelet from the RYL shop, and I love them!
I was going to spend quite a large amount of today revising buuuuuuuuut I left my boyfriend's at like 12 so didn't get back till 1 and I've been sat here applying for summer jobs for two hours.
I'm going to do one hour revision then watch the OC haha.
:)
Have written a whole 450 words today. Need about another 600 today. Need to factor in time to see Sean at some point now he's back at uni.
We have had men replacing the boiler today. They arrived and started being loud at 9. They're still here although, thankfully, not as loud as they started. I hope they aren't here all week. I didn't think it would distract me that much but it really has. We're not supposed to smoke in the house so I've had to have my bedroom window open so I can smoke and work. But we live on a main road so it's ridiculously noisy, and cold, and wet. So yeah, not much work got done today. . .
