    Totally watching Toddlers and Tiaras rather than doing anything with my life. I feel just so 'zombified' and glazed over.

    Exams are over time to sleep and then finish sorting out my room it was a tip but it's slowly coming back to order. Also got loads of things I need to get done which I've been putting off during the exam period.

    I have a scary amount to do this week. Going to post in here in the hopes that it'll force me to actually do the work.

    By Friday, I must must must:

    -Read Foe
    -Read Great Expectations
    -Read Robinson Crusoe
    -Do background reading on all of the above
    -Come up with essay topic, get it approved, research it and write it
    -Come up with some sort of topic and vague plan for other essay
    -Read set poetry for Friday's tutorial
    -Actually start working on French rather than constantly putting it off and setting myself up for failure come exam time

    Time management tips, anyone?

    Room sort of tidied. I went for a lie down and ended up sleeping for about 3 hours.

    Plan for tomorrow:

    - Sort laundry
    - Food shopping
    - Do reading
    - Go to library and work on essay
    - Sort finance for placement year.

    New thread! Super exciting.

    Right, I have an essay due in Wednesday, when I thought it was due in a week from Wednesday. This slightly puts a damper on my mood.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of my friends who dropped it whilst running around on Campus 14 :rofl:

    This is the third night in a row that I've done an all-nighter lol Have a 3000 word essay due in tomorrow and I'm at about 1800 so far - want another 900-1000 words before I finish and then edit the whole shebang.

    Need to email one of the seminar tutors about that Politics essay feedback. Will do it either later today or tomorrow morning depending on when I've completely finished and edited this assignment.

    I think the owner of 'Pop Classics' blog is my second semester lecturer! Her name is the exact same as the name on the blog and they're both covering the same module information.... *_* I follow that blog religiously, oh dear fandom.

    Of course not. All uni students welcome.

    Your 2nd semester starts late. A lot of unis seemed to start last week or the week before.
