Mine's hopefully going to be on information creation and dissemination, either theoretically or with regards to research institutions in London/the financial sector.

Urgh, and you say yours sounds more fun than mine?!?!?!

I'm not exactly in love with my dissertation, but I'm glad I'm not doing THAT!! :p:

I finished my essay last night, but I wrote it in a state of delirium and need to thoroughly edit it. Only, I can't be bothered. I'm also meant to read a book today (according to my schedule), but I'm on TSR again. Damnit. Did you get your report done, Robmeister?

Which book?

Wide Sargasso Sea. It's not very long, but then, I haven't started it yet. Tomorrow I'm reading Heart of Darkness.

Yes at the time I did. I have been to Newcastle this afternoon and taken some photos of graffiti, as well as doing some last minute mapping stuff.

Now my data collection is complete....and tonight I just need to bring it all together before my beasty week of ploughing through the data analysis begins!!

This should be interesting...the culmination of my education comes to this :redface:

Wide Sargasso Sea = awesome. Heart of Darkness = less good. Both can easily be read in about 4-6 hours though, so you're fine :smile:

I would be fine, but I've only read 2 pages of WSS. My schedule says I should have it finished by the end of today, and should read all of HOD tomorrow. I'm quite busy tomorrow, too. I'm rubbish.

On the other hand, Skittles and Minstrels! I win at life.

You'll get it done, it's all fine. I woke up this morning and panicked completely about my complete lack of dissertation or knowledge of Old English. However, I have just been playing pool for 2 hours and am therefore a lot happier now.

Having done my presentation two weeks ago, I now have one extended piece of work left to do in my entire degree :biggrin:

. Sadly it is a project which will no doubt consume my life :frown:

That is definitely the answer. It's like that "hair of the dog" thing that says that, in order to overcome a hangover, you drink more alcohol.

Have now read 30 pages of WSS. Leaving me 95 more. And all of HOD. And I have a doctor's appointment, then a lecture, then lunch, then about an hour, then two hours of French, then dinner. There are other small gaps in between, but we all know that if they're less than an hour or two, I won't do anything.

I have just filled masses of my dissertation with maps and photos.

Whilst excellent that I'm now AHEAD of target (yay)....not so good that I've just had to change my title and key aims AGAIN because there isn't enough space to write about all of the stuff I originally had planned to write about. Again, good and bad.

Overall, however, EXCELLENT :biggrin:

Errrm, at the moment I think it's around the 5,000 mark - but it's not measured in words but rather pages...it's currently 16 pages long and the maximum it can be is 35...so not too bad! Hopefully by this time tomorrow it will be at around 23 pages long :smile:

Talking of dissertation topics I think my one is fun, but then that's because I am a geek.

A Comparison of Catalan Nationalism with Basque Nationalism. They are both very different don't you know(and I'm not just talking about ETA).
