procrastination- how do you get over it?

Also like your username - Ross in Friends had it on his backback when he was a kid, but you probably didn't get it from there?

Anyway I need to have some lunch then get myself down to the library! x

Actually, I did

I'm planning to go to the library myself now...
Am thinking "oh, I can just do the work here without the trek..." but that is unlikely to happen.
It's a nice sunny day anyway... I can cycle there...

The thought of dead patients is usually a good motivator and the one that works for me, but this module is all psychology/sociology/public health/epidemiology/etc. All interesting stuff, but the point is to understand concepts etc not cram facts, I think I get the concepts, so am not sure how to revise this stuff - get the distinct feeling the exam is going to be more of a test of English rather than anything else - i.e. subtleties of question phrasing.

Roll on next weekend - I'm not doing to do a stitch of work

Hehe I didn't want to presume it was incase it made me look silly lol.

Well I went to the library and finished making notes out of the book I was using. Was only there an hour but would of taken me muuuch longer here!
Need to make some notes out of another book tonight (lets see how much I get done!), then I can start writing the essay tomorrow.

Did you go?

No, by the time I was ready I didn't think it was worth it... went to Lidl to get some food instead.

Ah yes....they're my favourite subjects in my Physio degree.....not :rotfl: I know what you mean about revising them- epidemiology maybe, but the psychosocial aspects to me are more about common sense and awareness.

I was a good girl today and did a 5 hour stint in the library on an assignment that has to be in in 3 weeks, and then did 2 hours pre-reading for practicals next week.

Yes. Four 3000-4000 word essays in for 15th May.
Have nearly finished one.
Another i've done the reading for, just got to write the essay.
The other two I have done nothing for them at all, so got all the reading to do first before I write them! Aghh!!

ames123 you have my sympathies

i have 2x 3000 words, 1x 1000 words and other written assignments but thay are not essays or have a word count.

Mine have to be in 8th May

If only i had prepared more for them!!

I am hoping to get the 1000 word done by tonight
