    Good luck to everyone with upcoming exams!

    I myself have realised I have forgotten everything and know nothing! I guess that's what nights are for though!

    I will actually do some work today. I need to tidy my room and quickly clean the kitchen (I'm sure a few of my tidy flatmates will be back soon and I don't want the massive clean up I did a few days to go to waste). After that, I will start work. But I'm watching Thor tonight. Because there are hot people in it. Namely Kat Dennings. And also, time out is just as important as work time. Too much of anything is a bad thing...

    First, the milk fairy has been raiding my fridge again. Time to get supplies. Again. I swear to God I only bought milk a few days ago. This is not procrastination. :ninja:

    3,039 words.

    Going to turn off the computer and write what I've learnt so far today in longhand, then type it all up later tonight.

    Target: 5,000. Would be rather pleased to go over it though .

    Right. I have sorted out the problem with my data and also got the actual data which my tutor never gave me (dunno what happened there but hey). The plan is to finish my discussion and email it to him by tomorrow lunch time. I need to update a couple of the graphs which used the old data too... not too much of a hassle thankfully. Need to work on errors/regression line for one data set too.

    For some reason I just feel tired all the time when I'm in my room at university... at home I can relax, watch TV and I'll still get ample work done. Here, I'm sitting at my desk all day and so far I've done one problem sheet.

    In watching these old philosophy lectures, I've remembered why I stopped going to them.

    That still confuses me. But I'm even in the situation of not even knowing if anyone has a spare space for one person :sigh:

    3,500. Finally finished explaining my primary text. Now I need to critique it. That'll get me up to 5,000 tonight.

    Then tomorrow I need to start to explain my secondary text and critique that. Which will amount to the full 10,000.

    3,500 seems a lot for just explanation without analysis but my supervisor said to go in depth so I read it twice and explained every chapter. Maybe it's overkill. Better too much than too little, I can always cut it down I suppose.

    Man... It's nearly the end of Wednesday and I have to have my completed discussion to my supervisor to check tomorrow and I haven't finished it but I really don't care. What's wrong with me? It's 4 days of just manning up and working and I just can't be bothered.

    Pressure building up!! I don't have enough strength to look at my lecture slides, seeing them make me think that I have left it too late and the task is impossible

    Ok, I'm at 5500 words and I'm stopping for the night. Tomorrow morning I'm doing to finish my discussion and email it to supervisor. I'm then going to work on my conclusion and see how many words I need to write to bulk out to 8000. Ideally I'd like to have my discussion and conclusion finished by tomorrow evening.

    Can't work on this dissertation tonight - it's driving me mad. Library tomorrow. If anyone decides to have a conversation in the silent area I think it might snap my last little thread of sanity.
