that does sound really interesting, claire!
hello lemons! *waves*
and simi - technology doesnt like me either. i had issues with the printer today - first i tried to send all my stuff to print, went to the printer and nothing was there. went back to the computer and theyve put me back on the disabled account so i had to change the printer it was being sent to. resent it, went back to the printer a it said there was a printer error. went to the technology people to ask for help, and spent 40 mins trying to figure out what was wring with my account - just to learn that the printer was broken and it was nothing to do wit me at all. i felt like a right idiot! *sigh*

That integration study sounds very interesting. Good luck with the questionnaires, hopefully you'll get the responses you're looking for, but even if you don't there's nothing wrong with "helping" the results a little bit... everyone does it to a certain extent.

I'm still trying to devise my research question and the deadline is less than a week away... I just can't get myself to do it.

Thanks everyone. We had a group meeting and I sparked a bit of a debate with my topic. My supervisor was loving it lol! And I have several university departments wanting copies of the final thing. No pressure to make it excellent or anything...

If I don't get many replies then I'll let my supervisor know and see what he says.

I got free photocopying the other day, didn't mention it to anyone though. You know, as you do...

Lemons, what sort of thing are you interested in? What is your subject (sorry if I missed it)?

lemons - good luck, you'll getthere!

So stressed with uni at the moment. =(
Loads of work which for some reason I can't do, & which causes me a stupid amount of anxiety (I'm getting tight-chested just typing this!), I've spent all of my student loan..
I'm starting to think that I'm seriously not going to pass my second year.

Arghhhh stresssss. =(

shadow-light · 23-05-2009, 02:14 PM

my loan's gone too... which is bad as my next rent is due before my first pay (assuming I get a job) and got re-sits to pay for :/

shadow-light · 23-05-2009, 02:26 PM

I got one over summer lst year, so you should be able to do so.
They're only normally about £300 though (or they are here anyway). but my loan doesn't cover my rent and I got no grant this year so had to use the hardship fund and small cash award schemes alot lol

Luce, have you spoke to anyone about this? Have you been given any help or support? Take the work in small chunks and have regular breaks, it can make things more manageable.

drampty · 23-05-2009, 04:34 PM

gah, i have no motivation... does anyone have any revision tips? nothing's working...

shadow-light · 23-05-2009, 04:40 PM

I'm finding that too... currently using uploading revision notes I write to gradeguru so I can get some sainsburies vouchers are motivation... but even that's not helping much...

drampty · 23-05-2009, 04:47 PM

i just dont kno where t start! and ive just covered my keyboard in shrbet... oops!

The One Who · 23-05-2009, 05:36 PM

Revision tips: you need to know what works for you. For some it's mind maps, for some it's re-writing notes, others like to talk over their notes. Once you have that done then you can make a start. Try not to panic and get too stressed. Take regular breaks and just to take everything in small chunks.

I don't know how people can use that GradeGuru site. I won't even share my notes my friends (not that they can read my writing), never mind the whole internet.

shadow-light · 23-05-2009, 05:38 PM

to gt paid basically... lol

there have been times this year where I'll upload a load of notes just so I can get vouchers so I can eat...

drampty · 23-05-2009, 05:58 PM
