Gawd.....I need to put my proposal form in by next week! Not looking forward to even completing that...luckily have the majority of my literature review done (comes partially from a prior assignment) but I think I'll have to be a bit of little and often....really wanted to graduate this year but think completing it by the end of next month will be a killer with a F/T job!!!

How long has yours got to be?

It's people like you with f/t jobs/families etc that make me feel really guilty for complaining about work! :D I don't have a job, just uni, yet here I am leaving everything to the last minute! The more time you have the more you waste it!

I'm a Welshy too ames, I've just temporarily defected over to Liverpool And PD, stop stalking me! :rotfl:

I know what you mean about mess too, my flat is always immaculate around exam/essay time because I procrastinate by cleaning!

Christ, referencing is boring

Uuurgh!!!! I did it- Just wrote 5000 words in a little under 3 hours on numeracy, literacy, language and ICLT skills in the classroom.

Feel like going to bed now but have to get kiddie winks from school. make tea and then mark some papers that have to be back tomorrow and plan a lesson for Thursday - Ick!!!! I ma just leave that last one until tomorrow night though - being a fully paid up procrastinator :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Its 12,000 words...and have an assortment of 6000 words written. Hoping the majority of that stays but know one section is particularly weak and don't think my supervisor will let that go :rolleyes:

I wish - they'd only keep ringing me until I get them.

Luckily I didn't have to reference or read anything for this assignment. It's all based on an observed lesson we had to give as part of a team - so it's all reflective - how to improve, where we went wrong and right - etc etc - very touchy feely stuff - blehhhhh. But it does leave room for lots of waffle!!!:D

Well i'm only at uni at Bangor, I live in Staffs during the holidays etc.

You would think I would be tidy during essay time, but i'm that much of a procrastinator I even put off doing that! I have just tidied my room though now, as I made myself a list, right the next on my list is calling!

Praise be! I've finished all the referencing I can! Hooray!

Got a meeting with my supervisor tomorrow and will start writing it up tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait to get this out of the way!

Well, today has been productive, at last!

Followed PD's example and just got on with it and now I'm 800 words into my introduction and have a clear plan of where I'm going. That's it for today though because I've got a load of other work to do for my other modules, ho hum.

How's everyone else doing?
