    got through a few articles in the library and brough a pile of books home to plough through tonight after i finish a piece of translation. tomorrow the aim is to stock up on more books for the weekend.

    if i'd started back in spetember, and had worked at the pace i'm working at now, i'd probably have the thing bound and submitted by now :rolleyes: nowt like a bit of pressure to motivate though :beer:

    I know, tell me about it! I was thinking this earlier! Thing is though we or at least I wouldn't of worked, because I would of known that I had months to do it, which is exactly what happened!

    I was in the zone!

    As an ex student and now supervisor my advice is, just write!

    Then go back and write it to make sense. I hope your supervisors are good - I cherish my students like my own children :)

    I do any area (unless it's in Welsh or numbers!).

    A dissertation is a dissertation :D

    Hmm...so glad to see there's other like me! However I have my final year production next week and then a touring production the week after, after this I intend to really concentrate on my dissertation.

    I've done half of my research and i'm about halfway through my introduction but I'm off to meet my lecturer tomorrow as i'm feeling a little lost and confused about my plan. It's in at the end of April so I intend to just focus on that and the 1 other essay i have to write in that time period I have 2 in after, but i'm trying not to think about them at the moment....there's just so much work!!

    Thanks to all who post the comps & please let the comping fairy sprinkle dust on my entries!
