    Thats what i generally do just sit and get side tracked by other stuff..

    Write stuf ever if its not relevant as this usually gets me in the swing of things, but then delete the stuff you have wrote, if that makes sense?

    Yeah I think I know what you mean. Right have gone through and made it kind of made sense. Just got to go through some sheets to see if there is any other quotes I want in and then write an intro and conclusion.
    How you doing?

    Altogether i have:

    1 x 1000 word + written assignments --> DONE
    1 x 3000 word --> 1539 words done
    1 x 3000 word --> 819 words (not happy with any of this will start again from scratch)

    Not bad but im stressing so its making me panic now..

    have you much left to do after this?

    Oh well done that's good! How is it working on more than one essay at a time because I am thinking of writing the one I have done the reading for inbetween doing the research for another one?

    1 x 3000-4000 word - done reading for, got to write it up.
    2 x 3000-4000 word - done nothing at all for.

    So quite a bit!

    Its not that bad actaully, i have found taking a break inbetween and working on the other is ok because it gives your mind a rest from what you are working on then when you come back to it you have ideas to work on. Plus you dont really waste time sitting doing nothing once you hit that mental block.

    when did you say they had to be in for?

    I should hopefully have mine done but i panic and like things to do done well in advance, this is sheer torture for me having 6 days left to do it.

    15th May so a week later than yours I think.
    I need to sharpen my reading and note-taking for the essays though because I have spent ages reading for the two I have read for!
    Was just reading the first couple of pages of this thread, what is that about Hyacith and Pat??!!

    Really? I didn't know that!

    Where in Wales? I'm at Bangor uni. I think the more things you have one the more you use time better. If you have nothing on then you will waste it (if my experience anyway!)
