Is anyone else studying tonight?

[jofeb04]

I'm half way though one essay, got another to do on the weekend (great fun again!). Going to start about 8ish tonight.

Anyone joining me for word counting!

And back for the post dinner slot

oh god - 8.20 - got to get chidlren to bed and make a start!

fuck!

i'm back now too! Bit late in the evening to be starting work but hey ho..
am impressed by the idea of working whilst in a soft play centre - think maybe my ds still needs watching at places like that (he is 17 mo!) otherwise i would try it..

hi fairy

do you have a plan? I was thinking about working until 10 and then having a bath and then doing another hour.

Yourself?

need to finish reading about the crime of attempt and then prep a tutorial on it, would v much like to have a bath too! Hmmm hadn't thought of having one and THEN doing more work but that sounds good!
Please feel free to check if i have done what i have said i will do - i need accountability!!

I am just starting.
10 minutes of mumsnet, then cracking on til 11.

I got quite a bit done late late last night
(at about 2 am. Maybe this is when i am the most clever, and i sleep through it all the time?)

Good Luck

think i am going to bed now, well having bath anyway..no immediate deadline so the adrenaline is not pumping enough, must keep reminding myself my exams are in 6 weeks..oh bugger night all

have had good night - am at 2,952 of 4,000 but lots of notes so if I go thorugh and make 'proper' sentences.

Hope it is goin well for others - agree about best work at 2am after some wine

see you soon!

YAY!!!
DONE DONE DONE!!!!
Well, except for references. I hate those!

YAY!!!
I am much more brillianter at 2 am

oh brilliant purpleduck - i am going to try for the same tonight - if you can be bothered to post any study tips

refs suck but i am really impressed - good for you. I propose a treat for you.

Well done purple! Don't know how you lot can work til the wee small hours, I can't function the next day on so little sleep.

2 essays fully done
1 with 500 words left to play with but one section needs playing with and have not yet concluded so should be ok. In for May 2nd.

Orals start 5th May. Have done no prep at all! But MIL is here and playing stickle bricks with ds so I'm going to plunge into the Russian.

OMG Indith - well done and so far in advance - good for you!

agree that 2am can be the most productive time or day/night, i just find it hard to get to 2am should make more of an effort to..?
Indith what are you studying?? I am intrigued!!

Indith - I am also impressed you are done so early. However, I used to get things done THE NIGHT BEFORE, so for me, this is well early (its due on friday)

btw, I am actually NOT functioning!!

BBB Thanks for the permission to treat myself, i will be complying forthwith

I have no tips. I don't venture into the living room though- I have too much on V+, and my will power is LOW.

Well don't be too impressed, the one that is due on May 2nd is the unfinsihed one, the ones I've just finished were due in March!

I do Russian, Spanish and linguistics by the way. The essays are for Hispanic linguistics and translation theory.

I find that the best thing to do if stuck in a rut on an essy is to print it out, step away from the computer and spread it over the bed/floor and take a good look. That way you can cut it up, reorder it, add sentences etc while able to see properly how it all fits together rather than scrolling up and down the screen all the time and getting lost.

what do you think you will do with your degree when you are done indith? sounds like you should be a spy!

Yes.....the slight problem with that is that I am rubbish at Russian, much prefer the linguisitcs side of things. Oh well. No idea what I'm going to do really....finally get to spend time with ds without feeling like I should be working?

any takers through 'til midnight? then IT crowd then 12.30-2.00am?

Hope you go tstuff done last night, I was rubbish, sat at my computer lots but didn't seem to get anything done.

HI ALL

anyone with plans for tonight? I really need to finish one of these 4,000 essays - both standing at about 3,000 at the minute. That is my plan.

Okay, now 10 mins internet and glass of wine
9pm - house
10pm= work
12.05 - watch pulling
12.30- work 'til done

I'm here, feeling very uninspired though. Ds has worn me out today!

it is hard isn't it - I worked last night, spent the day at a wildlife park and cookin and cleaning. When they are just about in bed and i want to sit down and do nothing I am firing up the lap top and getting out piles of notes.

Oh well...

i am giving in tonight and am off to bed shortly (its only just gone 8.30pm!). My ds has a horrible sickness bug and we haven't slept much the last couple of nights and i just cannot focus on any work without falling asleep so am telling myself that if i can just catch up on sleep a bit i might work better from tomorrow
admire you hardcore people up at 2am! Sure that will be me before exams in a few weeks.
Night all!

I have been working on an essay all week and have spent my evenings procrastinating. Then, last night when I started properly doing it, I was working in 'compendium' mind-mapping, and closed all the 'maps' without saving. So when I did get to work, I lost it!!!

Tonight, I need to do a LOT of making up time as if I don't finish this TMA tonight and tomorrow night, I will be a week behind on my study schedule and I can't afford that as I've taken on quite a lot.

I've not been such a slacker before...can someone pls give me a kick up the rear - promise I will return the favour one day!
