Hi all,
I've got to finish a 5000 word assignment on Pepys' diary by tomorrow noon. So far I have written about 1000 words in a kind of rough draft plan style, but I am having such trouble concentrating and ordering my thoughts enough to flesh it out. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and think this probably isn't helping in terms of being completely absent-minded; also, while this module turned out to be more interesting than I expected, it wasn't one I would have chosen if not compelled to do so and I'm afraid this has meant that my reading for the essay has been of the just-barely-enough kind. Every time I start writing, I get about 5 minutes in, completely forget what I was saying, start flicking through my books to jog my memory and realise how much more detail I could have gone into if I'd bothered to do the work properly.
I really don't care what kind of mark I get as long as I pass, just want it done so I can get on with my life!
