^I know the feeling. Since November I have been working on at least 3 assignments every day, plus a research project to run. All my deadlines have been since January 12th. I had a presentation on 5th, exams on 11th, 15th, 18th and 20th, then my research report is due on 22nd. I don't think they understand how much work each of those events takes. I haven't had a day off in ages, at least not one where I didn't constantly feel guilty for not doing all the work I had.
Just remember, there is an end to all this. You will not be this stressed forever, you will not always have so much work to do.

Well, the exam went OK, I think. I got a question which was basically "write everything you know about the topic" so there wasn't too much panic involved. Now I just need to start revising for the one next week.
Am starting to lose the will to exist. Have had to shut myself off emotionally to be able to deal with all this work. Haven't felt this numb in years. I don't feel real anymore. I have no concept of time. I have no idea what happened yesterday and what was today. It's all blurring into one. Gonna need some serious psychological rebuilding after this.

I'm really stressed. I don't even know why, all I need to do is pass and I'm pretty sure I will. I've done okay in essays, so I'd have to do REALLY badly to fail. But I'm so so stressed.
god i know what you mean i think they just dump as much work as possible on us at once not only do i have revision and exams to worry about ive got a portfolio to do, and dissertation to think about, and i need to find an essay that the department lost. they should really spread it out a bit better and not leave it all for the end of term!!
shoot for the moon... if you fail you'll land amongst the stars.
What is it about living in a flat with 7 other people revising that makes the whole revision experience 100x worse?
I thought being at home & revising was bad. But being stuck in a place where it's all people talk about and are doing is actually awful!
Especially as my flatmate in the room next to me revises out loud so i wake up in the morning to her voice & fall asleep to it (she works literally TOO hard).

ive gone back home to get away from my housemates... its a bit like cabin fever being stuck in house all day everyday with people who are just doing revision... and every noise seems to be really too loud and annoying
shoot for the moon... if you fail you'll land amongst the stars.
Yes both annoying! My boyfriend lives in the opposite flat & i swear he hasn't revised once for his exams, yet he passes with flying colours (grrrr).
I would go home, but it's like a 5 hour journey home.and i have exams here there and everywhere. =(

.. but it's also bad living in a tiny little room with someone who doesn't revise. And plays music when you're trying to revise and sleep. And has her friends in drinking and being loud when you're trying to work. ><

YES! That was me last term and I was working on my Info-Hell Project of Doom (don't ask! It ended up being over 60 pages of stuff...and that was just what got turned in), and she was dropping out of school and decided she didn't care and invited her cousin/ brother over to our TINY dorm room the weekend before finals.
My new roommate doesn't sleep! She just plays music and talks on the phone all night, and is out all day.
Thank you for all of your help and support. I will no longer be coming to RYL. Semi-explanation will be inside my profile.
ah yes, housemates who don't revise... The one in the room next to me plays rockband constantly, as if in, he does it in the evening and in the morning, constantly. I had an exam yesterday and i decided to do some last minute revision, the next thing I know he started playing rockband. I wouldn't care if he practised the guitar bits, but no he plays the drum parts constantly.
gah. On the other hand, I was plesently suprised by the exam questions, and I'm hoping I did well, but part of me thinks I'm under estimating the standard of work expected for this module, so I'm guessing that I did ok, but it won't be anything special.

All the days and weeks ___Pathetic, painful need
One housemate finished his exams yesterday, another is doing teaching so doesn't have exams, the other has 1 exam (1?!) next week but isn't realy revising as such. It's an exam on TV and he reckons he knows the stuff already. So no one in my house is revising. Even when I was at the library yesterday it felt like no one was revising there.
Is it just me who's absolutely bricking it? Seems no one else at this uni cares!

Always nice to end up with a really helpful supervisor. My supervisor emailed me earlier to say well done on my presentation and told me that I deserve to do really well. She's helped so much with my project - might have to get her a small country as a thank-you present. Lol!
