I have finished another memory based essay in German.

[Ian]

I'm trying to start/do/finish my damn presentation for tomorrow. It's the last thing of importance I have to do this academic year. It should be easy enough, and even reasonably quick - yet it is taking ages and just don't want to do it

[Blossom]

So I have 3 weeks to do my dissertation and I'm still at the reading stage. I've had months to do this bit, and it's so easy, so why on earth have I left it until the last minute to do. Because I've left this so late I will then have only 1 week to create 2 assassed presentations, and then after that I'll have my exams in 2-3 weeks (for which I will have to do the actual research, not just revise). All of these coming things account for about 40% of my degree. If only procrastination was a proper excuse for a deadline extension

I'm supposed to be working on a long-overdue paper for my teaching class. Instead, I'm tracking down low-resolution images from old games from which to make pixel cookies next week.

i've written less than a page all weekend.

I've known I had to do this presentation for about two months now. I've had all the necessary data for at least one. Two or three weeks ago, my presentation got postponed, from last Tuesday to this Tuesday. I breathed a huge sigh of relief, because I was swamped with work that week and was happy to have the extra time. I vowed not to leave the presentation as late as I had done when I only had one week to work on it - i.e. start it before the Thursday preceding.
Then my date got moved from Tuesday to Monday.
I started writing my outline Saturday. Sunday was full of going to extended family's house for dinner and such.
Boils down to: had a month to do it. Am doing it in a night. This is the worst I've ever been, and it's one of my more important projects too. As in I'll probably flunk the class if I don't get it pretty darn right.

It's about 5am here. Presentation's at 12:40, and between now and then I need to shower, put on professional clothes, and spend a few hours in lab working on the project that came after this one I'm presenting. I need to:
Figure out how my data relate to the calibration curve I just managed to make
Calculate the error for that
Draw conclusions
Make pretty graphs
Put those pretty graphs along with some pretty diagrams into my Powerpoint
Finish the content in the Powerpoint
Add citations
Read through it all at least once before going up in front of the class...

Whee. Time to go make some ramen to sustain me for the next, brutal five hours or so.

i spent most of the easter weekend working on my thesis and now i have less than 24h to write a final essay for another course (art history) outside of my preferred disciplines. i should've gotten this done friday, when i planned to, but instead edited my friend's essay comparing japanese and korean dramatic adaptations of a japanese manga, generally wasted time preparing for every essay topic other than the one i settled on, and overeating. the next 18 hours will be interesting. i still have to finish my anthropology review too.

It's fast approaching 4 am and I am still ignoring my Physics textbook. My exam is in 10 hours. I'm listening to Bach to try and get my mind off of currently unimportant things (such as searching the internet to figure out how the hell Summer Glau did that stunt on the ceiling) but it's not working. It's just being beautiful music.

[Aletheia Dolorosa]

Someone force me to work. I came on her to check the results of the Sraffie Awards and have now been here for 40 minutes. I'm meant to be editing my second chapter! Argh!

[Jaya]

Still got lots of work left to do this last month has been very procrastination heavy.

[Philharmonic]

Before today, the last time I posted was Christmas. I meant to do SOMETHING to get back on the site. And it is now the middle of May.

Oh, and it's my GCSE exam period and i've been putting off revising. today i failed my biology 2 exam. (although im not the only one).

HELP ME!

[AlexSP]

[nanaki]

hence the several hundred posts last night?

[Soapy]

Gaaaaah, in library - attempting to do work but finding it really hard to grasp basic concepts.

Doesn't help that the exam is tomorrow so almost all of the useful books are on loan. Bugger.

[nanaki]

2 exams down! Just 4 left. Tomorrow, friday, saturday and next tuesday. Just -.-

Trying to get continuous assessment grades from lecturers is like getting blood from a stone.

How and ever, once this slog's done everything's more relaxed, 7 weeks of full time project work is preferable to an assload of exams any day.

Now, where's that motivation to study gotten to...

[nanaki]

mes examens sont fini! [not a clue on that grammar]

[Soapy]

Not the cleverest Puppy in the world.

Came home after my lecture this morning in order to work in the comfort of my own home. Then I played 4 hours of Dragon Age: Origins.

Fail.
