I think you should go to sleep this afternoon and give yourself a break and then start fresh tomorrow. Hug.

Nessarose · 28/04/2010 14:52

have a cuppa and a
leave it untill tomorrow.

Hassled · 28/04/2010 14:53

Stop and walk away from it. Bury it under newspapers or put it in a draw. Then watch some mindless shite on TV, go out for a walk if your eyes can stand it, have a bath, just do anything else. Try again in a few hours.

Goodness!

Write off the rest of the day, have a nap and nom some paracetamol/painkiller/antihistamine of your choice.

We've got some very clever ladies on the forum, I'm sure they'd be happy to cast an eye over your dissertation... What's it on?

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/04/2010 14:55

Am putting the fucking horrible thing in the nearest bin.

It's such crap. I could quite easily write 10000 words about it in myown way but the stupid rigid bloody rules say it has t be a certain way, which my brain will not do.

am off to the docs shortly to demand removal of my eyes, failing that ssome strong drugs that will work.

Nessarose · 28/04/2010 15:00

No dont put it in the bin, whats it on?
docs a good idea, I doubt they will remove your eyes though. Hey fever is pants isnt it.
what antihistomines are you taking?

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/04/2010 15:02

horrible dissertation is on teenage pregnancy. i know what i want to do but can't bbecause of the stupid rigid way in which it has to be written which makes no sense to me.

Do you think if you inserted some profanity into it that would help?

My Fucking Dissertation by Me My Fucking Self

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/04/2010 15:04

yes. pag. i'd like that.

Fucking teenaers shouldn't get fucking pregnant, demand personalised fucking services and special treatment which they then don't turn up for, while wanting to be treated as normal.

The Fucking End.

Is your tutor any good? Can you talk honestly and openly with them about what you're struggling with (tomorrow though, have today off). Otherwise, assuming you're physically attending university as opposed to distance learning, go to the library and talk to the academic librarian for your subject area. Get the style guides out (all academic libraries have them) and ask for help and guidance.

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/04/2010 15:07

Tutor is lovely and is emailing me feedback. she told me to put it away till after the exams. (fucking exams)

I am so pissed off with myself for not being able to bloody get on with it.

OP posts:
FlookCrow · 28/04/2010 15:08

What ShowofHands said

I assume you're talking about 3rd person and referencing? What level is it? (BSc, MA)

BitOfFun · 28/04/2010 15:08

I do sympathise- but commendu you on your use of language and offer you this to cheer you up

abr1de · 28/04/2010 15:16

I write books for a living, usually with tight deadlines. There are just some days when nothing seems to work and you need to go and have a bubble bath. Or a swim.

Seriously, being in water is very relaxing and often helps your brain sort things out.

minipie · 28/04/2010 15:18

Ah poor you, I got myself into this state when revising for finals. Complete and utter panic and self directed rage.

Ok. Put on Ipod or similar with nice relaxing music (or loud shouty music if that helps). Then lie down. Then put on eye mask/cucumber slices. Think nice non exam related thoughts (as far as possible).

If you can bear to go outside with the pollen (sunglasses help a lot), suggest a little shopping trip for an ice cream or some other little treat. Honestly, it helps.

EveWasFramed · 28/04/2010 15:21

Argh...I will be in your place soon. Take today off, get eyes removed, have some tea and get some sleep. One step at a time...worry about revising first, then dissertation. And take heart...I have two 3,000 word essays, a marketing presentation, a taxonomy to create AND some classification stuff all to do in three weeks, and none of it's started yet!!!

cyteen · 28/04/2010 15:29

I anticipate adding to this thread with my own diss-based woes in about four months' time (should have some already, in fact, but have obviously put it off till now!)

tinkletinklelittlestar · 28/04/2010 15:36

Your mind must be in an absolute scramble - take a break ffs!

My DP has acute rhinitis and takes Zirtek - it is the only thing that works.

Do not throw away what you have done so far it might be better than you think and be useful when you go back to writing your dissertation. Keep everything until after you get your grades - even if it is in a drawer.

APassionateWoman · 28/04/2010 15:38

Can you get a fucking extension on the deadline? Can you take the fucking exams in September instead?

I have got landular fever and am going through major FUCKING stress with my son at school and have managed to put off handing in my last major piece of work and last exam until Sept. Weight off my (fucking) mind!

junglist1 · 28/04/2010 17:12

I'm in a similar position right now. Nearly finished but can't find 6 fucking references which I know are out there somewhere. Don't know what to put in FYP discussion.Fucking Cognitive Science exam I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE BRAIN IS LIKE A COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!! Inputs, outputs and symbolism hell.

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/04/2010 17:40

Bollocks.

I have drugs from Dr. Fucking stroids which will make me fatter

I am still in abject dispair and misery about the fucking dissertation

OP posts:
BigBadMummy · 28/04/2010 17:42

Fuck.

You ARE fucked.

JaneS · 28/04/2010 19:19

Fuck dissertations. Especially, fuck your dissertation and its fucking rules and the fucking pollen that's getting in your fucking eyes. (I know how that feels)

Be comforted that the shitty rules are probably driving everyone else mad too, and if they're not, it's probably because those people haven't had an original thought in their lives.

EccentricaGallumbits · 28/04/2010 19:26

I am still very fucking unhappy. and there is only the smallest bottel of wine in the world in the wine rack and fucking DH won't go to the shop for me.

I'd go but have had a shower and don't want to be pollinated again today.
fucker.
