Mumsnet Talk

I've got two essays to write. One for the 13th, one the 16th.

I've done all my post Xmas cleaning and should get on with them really. I've done the essay plans, got the books to reference. Kids at their dads for the day so no excuse really...

<continues watching Zulu>

I've got one due on the 16th and one on the 23rd..... and you're way ahead of me in the planning! But I do have the stuff with me...

I'm down at H's house as he's moving the week beginning 9th Jan so I'm packing, decluttering and doing exciting things like going to the tip. I hope to escape back to my home on 1st January and will then have a week before term starts on the 9th to get them and the homework done. Hmmm!

I've got my dissertation due on 16th as well, though it's got to be bound first so aiming for the fifth as am paranoid they'll lose it - I'm just rewriting the stoopid results, haven't finished the conclusion, got to do the refs, having a general panic etc..it's really interesting but I'm so looking forward to seeing the back of it!

I have two to hand in....by the 6th January I have got the books all out the library which is shut until 3rd............but thats about it, should probably start typing tonight!

The Dell engineer broke my laptop so am relying on borrowing dh's but this is not working out well

At least I'm not alone.

I did attempt some work but accidentally on purpose remembered some ironing and that the kitchen floor needed doing.

oh hell,
80000 word project to write up by 5th Jan.

Ah too many 0s! Should be 8000!

But it feels like 80000000 right?

I'm sure mine's really 120,000,000 :D

Any progress? Anyone?



No me neither! <wail>

I have 2000 words due on the 7th, I want to get it done by monday, so I can take a break from it for a day or two and then polish it up a bit before submitting. This is always my plan as I always get so bogged down in the things I can no longer understand what I've written iykwim. it's never happened yet

<carries on pricing dishwashers on ebay>

I've done about half a page before going out for a meal instead a fair amount today but so must get on with it...

Right. I'm doing a couple of hours today.

Going to do the hardest, most bastard one first, to get it out of the way. Why oh why didn't I start it ages ago.

Why do we never learn?

its so hard to get going after a break - i've one in for 17 january and haven't done the reading yet but still time. am starting another course in february so am overlapping for about three months and am not looking forward to that.

Exam on 4th - nothing is going in. I need a panic emocation. I'd do someones essay if you do my exam. Please?

I have 4 or 5 assignments due in Jan, some at the start but all before the 20th.
Over the last two days my DF has had my on so I got about 9 hours work done.
Very pleased with myself but loads more to do.

Once again, have done next to nothing erm, a bit...it's not even so bad once I get going, just can't get myself started!

Well, I've done absolutely nothing. I am doomed. My brain just won't compute anything other than slobbing out, watching telly and stuffing my fat face.

Plus Officer and a Gentleman
is on tonight and I've only ever seen ten minutes of it.

5000 words due in on the 10th.

1166 words done.

It's not the writing that is the problem...all the reading and referencing...

Gah, the awful, awful referencing.

I'm doing a creative writing unit in the next term and I can't wait, mostly as I won't have to bloody reference every bloody thing.

Oh and 1166 words is brilliant. You are the winner today!

1278 words and spool much reading.

Aim for tomorrow is to reach 2000 words, minimum...2800 would be nice and could be doable depending on what time
a) I get up (tries to ignore what clock is telling me...)
and B) dcs go to bed

i have 2000 words to do by wednesday, but on the bright side i got a nice little netbook to mumsnet work on

Finished most of the results section in the hairdressers (netbooks are fab! Even with a tiny bit of bleach on...)
