I did my presentation today, it went surprisingly well, I couldn't be arsed with preparing in advance, so I wrote it at 9am this morning, got it finished by 10, and had to present at 11.
The seminar tutor actually wanted to extend the seminar at the end because of the conversation in the seminar was good. I'm really surprised, now I just have to wait for my mark.

Have been catching up on lecture notes today. Trying to decide on which topics to focus my real revision on. Still need to pick topics for my first exam - need to be able to write 3 essays in 3 hours, in 12 days. Eep.
Keep trying to convince myself that I haven't done a lot of work so I constantly feel guilty for not working. Not sure how well it's going but I feel like I'm working all day without achieving anything. Don't know if that's true or just that I'm really easy to deceive. Lol!

aaargh!
Stress is really starting to get to me. I have a speaking exam on friday, and I'm terrified. I'm actually at that stage already that I'm so overtired I'm all hyper, and my flatmates are all just going a bit crazy, as a way to avoid revision.
I feel like I'm going to explode

I wrote a 6 page paper on Monday, a 10 page (plus 3 pages of charts / graphs) yesterday, "designed" a CD cover thing with software I was clueless with...
And today I have a test and another paper to write.
I hate school.
Thank you for all of your help and support. I will no longer be coming to RYL. Semi-explanation will be inside my profile.

Am actually going to go mad. Boilermen are here (4th day) being loud and getting in my way. They keep needing to come in my room to deal with the radiator as well and I have to have my window open to smoke in here (we're not allowed to smoke in the house, technically) so I have all the noise from the main road, plus the noise of them crashing about. Haven't even got showered yet because they're in the way - using the sink in our only bathroom!!!!!!!! I can't concentrate with all this. I only have 3 weeks till all my exams are over and I'm panicking. I'm due a pre-exam breakdown though. . .

I probably could have done but I wasn't showered and I don't really like working in the library. I think they're only around for one more day now so it's not too bad. Just woke up in a bad mood today then everything seemed to go wrong from that point. Hate days like today.

That's what I'm hoping. New day tomorrow. Going to get up early and get showered before boilermen come round (not sure if they're back tomorrow but might as well get up early) so if they're loud I can just leave and go to the library or something. I get some money clearing in my account tomorrow too so I could even 'treat myself' to a cafe coffee and work there.
4 days of work to sort this presentation. Every time I think about it my stomach feels like it falls into my legs. Had hoped to have built up some confidence etc by this point, but no. Sigh. At least it's only in front of 6/7 people instead of the 150 I originally thought.

I am crap at presentations, no matter how many people they are in front of. I do well at writing them and getting them to time and I can even remember what I have to say. But when I stand up in front of everyone my mind just goes blank and I start to shake! Soooo annoying!
