OU Coursework late; shout at me lots.......anyone else this weekend?

[KatyMac]

Fab tutor gave me an extension & organised a home exam for me.

But I still have to do the bloody work

So crack the whip & shout (but quietly as I am very sore and stiff today)

Aah but which one's open by default?

The word doc with my TMA in progress of course!!

Ok am working now

Anyone got any good examples of phrases/sentences that technically word by word mean one thing but when used in speech actually mean another

I believe you; honestly darling

Umm Thinking

Yeah right

Just what I always wanted

am faffing about explaining that 'dog' is a furry animal but that dog eared and dog tired and nothing to do with furry animals.

Will prob use "Just what I always wanted" later on with bits on social expectations

Dog tired is dog related tho'

Not so sure about dog eared

I dont really mean nothing to do with...just not literally i suppose....not explaining it well

So i have explained the meaning of dog, then said anyone who knew about dogs would understand 'fighting like cats and dogs' but would have to share an understanding with the speaker to get 'dressed up like a dogs dinner' or 'a dogs breakfast'

And there is something about dog tired and eared in there somewhere.

I'm doing linguistics......which is a bit odd on some levels, discussing stuff that seems so obvious and natural in such detail

I kinda see

I only have 1 diagram & 250 words to go

Stay with me.....someone

Woohoo! Well done you!

i kinda wish i had diagrams now.... would cheer stuff up!

I am 402 words in and having re read the Qs its 4 pages maximum so i might stop at 3, so only another 1000ish to go

Dh home from work soon which will be a major distraction

142 done

May start diagram next

Im doing that two windows - OU/ MN thing too. Have unbelievably stayed on the OU one til now

and just submitted my assignment look at my halo for Tuesday.
Hoping there's no accidental plagiarism my bibliography is shite

Hope DH behaves when he comes in

Oh well done MreShrek!!

Have some chocolate

ohhh, that's a good idea
(how did I fail to think of it by myself?)

It's taken me three weeks to write
and it's only 2,000 words

@ you knocking one off in an evening [err, as it were]

Well 2 whole weekend days actually

Just done the references

Phew

are you lot just teasing me because of my assignment? there is no hidden meaning in dh distracting me, he just clomps about and asks weird questions, like "oh, i dont need interupt but do you know...." or "This will only take two secs..."

I have really dull examples like:

We met an English history teacher today.

I need something more interesting

Well done Mrsshrek

Aaarggghhhh

100 words & a bloody diagram to go

well one diagram is beyond me, but the end is in sight, GO Katy !!

I gave up & went to bed

So I am starting again

About 20 mins after I went to bed I started planning a fab diagram.......can I remember it now???

Done & handed in

Thank goodness

WELL DONE KATY :)

Start my next one (an ECA) tomorrow

How is everyone else doing?

Well Done Katy I had a nightmare TMA weekend too and if I had found this forum sooner would have been on here. Have one more TMA to go on this course before my FINAL EMA is submitted to give me my degree.
