So can you all nag me to make me work?

I got a 29% while on drugs (legal ones) & the lecturer said I might just scrape a pass on the EMA

So I need to blast it; I have today to do 2500 words

So nag me please?
TIA

Oh fuck
I just handed in an assigment and this reminded me I didnt put the references in

littleducks · 28/03/2011 20:15

How many words you up to Katy?

Sad crease, are you OU/brick uni....can you hand in reference sheet late?

FabbyChic · 28/03/2011 20:16

Oh Katy you must be tired, get yourself a brew and get back in the saddle. You can do it when is it to be in by?

creaseistheword · 28/03/2011 20:17

I could possibly try that..just a regular uni but its a masters assignment

littleducks · 28/03/2011 20:20

Can you get there when helpdesk/office opens tomorrow and ask office staff to let you slip it in (the would prob let me at my uni if tutor hadnt collected it to mark)...

Are yours bound? or just stapled, could you suggest it might have fallen out and you had no idea until now

Fngers crossed for you......

creaseistheword · 28/03/2011 20:21

It was an online submission so dont fancy my chances...will try though

If it's on-line you can usually resubmit upto the deadline (at least you can with OU)

Littleducks, no more than last night but I do have a change in plan

I was going to use the same change for my 1000 & 2500 just prune/add as necessary

But I am now going to write about a smaller change for the 1000 leading to a bigger change for the 2500

Off I go, I have had some tea (toast & jam) & now I start again

Tut tut...no more than last night and checking messages on MN

And whilst your plan sounds good are you sure you have time for doing two pieces of wok instead of adjusting one? (I know I am the voice of doom)

Wish my uni did online submission, I have to travel in specially and hand in printed out work with plagurism form and form stating what it is etc

I've got 1000 word TMA due Friday. Shock Got a bit waylaid as just handed in a 3000 word EMA. Think 1000 will feel easier compared though Hmm

Hope your getting there KatyMac.

Well done thefirstMrs De Vere

Hmm maybe

But if I hadn't checked MN I wouldn't have heard your suggestion would I?

(I was allowed my tea wasn't I?)

Don't forget critical thinking. You are allowed to agree/disagree with internationally renound theorists. (I like that bit best)

Just had confirmation that I am unlikely to pass the course

I will either have to resit the whole thing or have to prove my knowledge by another TMA or an oral or something

Sad

Just had lunch; now back to work
