A particularly bad week during exam term this year (I only had prelims this year, so had a normal term, only sans lectures). History 1st year.
Day 1. Finish essay at 6am. Get some sleep. Get up at 11am for a 12pm supervision. Finish supervision at 1pm, get some food, sleep all afternoon. Shuffle down to the JCR at 5pm to watch some telly, dinner at 6pm till 7pm, hit the bar for cheap alcohol, go out and get battered.
Day 2. Get up at 12pm, food, play some sport, watch telly, have dinner, watch movie in the JCR.
Day 3. Get up at 12pm, food, sport, telly, go on a swap, cindies, battered.
Day 4. Start feeling guilty, but hungover so not that eager, same routine without the night out, start vaguely doing work-related stuff. Get books, print off articles, maybe read one, maybe 1-2 hours work, including plenty of procrastination.
Day 5. Properly need to work now, do half the reading - about 8-10 hours of work.
Day 6. Get up before 12pm for once - coursework class, 2 hours. Do the other half of the reading, ready to plan/write on day 7 for 7am deadline on day 8.
Day 7. Spend most of day 7 doing **** all, find very random uninteresting things on the internet, make them interesting, spend 6 hours looking at them, spend a total of 5 hours sat in the buttery chatting, somehow manage to get to 9pm with only one of the three sections of the essay planned. Panic. Start writing and plan as you go, start hitting the red bull, hate yourself at 4am, vow never to do it again, feel beyond tired, finish essay, go to the computer room, hate the fact the sun is shining, print off work and hand it in. Head back to bed, find that you're so wired it takes over an hour to fall asleep even though you feel terrible. Fall asleep at about 7am. Supervision at 12.
Not a typical week, but something that happened a couple of times in Easter term at the point I suffered from a complete lack of motivation (that damned 5th week). Spending all of the Easter holiday revising had taken its toll. That said, a normal week tends to involve a few days off and then working solid on the essay, just not the all-nighter at the end.
