Whoops - polish and quotes applied. But no editing :eek: Ok off to do the next paragraph, polish and fully quoted - all editing can be done at the end.

*yawn* i needs my sleep but need to get this assignment in

On the plus side, aren't word count facilities wonderful. Remember the days when we approximated while typing? You're so close, just stick at it. It'll all come together at a gallop.

Word count facilites are indeed excellent

Well done on getting it all done, and it'll be SO much easier to edit once you have had some sleep!

When's it all due? (I'm sure I should know this, but I don't )

Hope you're feeling well rested this morning

Thanks guys I'll post more when I'm on the computer but its done, its in. Am on quick break at work. cheery I have to say I remembered the late night posts of your PHD it helped me calm down a bit - knowing other people had finished work off at a late hour. Mines not as big as a PhD mind but of course I'd important to me - also tried to remind myself I need to pass.

6, find on-line course stuff and get on with it

7, [STRIKE]copy uni course stuff and document accordingly[/STRIKE]

8, 30 mins doing what i love

9, MA application

10, money from try me free stuff

11, book room - tried already and awaiting response

12, run

13, double check other break and book room

Well done on submitting your assignment.

You've worked really hard on it, and I'm sending positive vibes in your direction that you'll get good marks.

That's still a sizeable list you've given yourself for things to do, but was pleased to see a bit of 'you' time, which is important.

Enjoy doing the 'thing you love' bit

Yes, the aspirations for fun appear to have taken a back seat. Must try harder.
