Staying up all night to do uni work!

guest1984

Bascially, i came got home from uni on thurs at 3.30pm, had friday off, and did 3 hours of uni work in the two days, i was chilling on msn and watching tv. The plan was to study today, and go cinema with a friend!

But, the manager at work called me to work from 11-7, got home at around 8, and studied from 8-11 straight, now i am gonna chill to 12, and finish off my uni work, from 12-4 or 5, and need to get up for 10 tomorrow for work!

serves me right for chilling on the two days when i am suppose to be studying!

so, whats everyone doing?

i feel kinda sad, 'cause its a saturday, but uni is more important

anyone here staying up doing school work?

Well, I am doing some very intensive studying over the coming few days, and will probably get bugger all sleep because of it, as there is some coursework that I need to do, along with a few uni assignments.

I'm good at this. The staying up all night does work, for me anyway, but then I thrive under stress. I'm weird like that.

I might be tonight, I've got enough reading to do for an essay. Bit of a pain in the backside, ah well, I ought to be online all night.

I'm doing some work on a dissertation on "the politics of the International space station programme"

I've got 6,500 words so far…needs to be 8,000 by next week as I need to give a draft in to my supervisor!

How would you research something like that? It seems a bit obscure!

I did that last Saturday night. I was fed up with taking forever over essays so I thought '**** it, I'll do it all in one night and get it out of the way' and I got most of it done. I was like yeeeh baby :cool:

I didnt really need to though and finished it 2 weeks early :redface:

He doesnt need to do much research as he works for the welsh assembly and therefore has contact with top AM's and MP's and is even mates with Peter Hein who im sure can give Reid a call and he'll give you some advice :p:

Yeah, well, the library had hardly any of the books I needed, so I’ve had to buy all of them myself – some from the USA. Added to that, the library only subscribes to a journal on space policy back to 1995, so I haven’t been able (despite all my efforts!) to get any of the articles covering the 1980’s and early 1990’s.

You’d be surprised how much material there is available on the subject!

Term ended for us a long week ago now :biggrin:

, haven't done too much work, especially considering I have exams when I return and my tutor is expecting me to get a mid-to-high first :eek:

. I will get down to it eventually, I just hope I don't leave it until the night before like last term.

I do all nighters every weekend. Comes with the territory of soing student theatre...

Take out the previous week's show midnight Saturday-2 am, then rig the next show 2 am- 9 am Sunday or so...

and then do 16 hour's work in the theatre for the next few days, sleeping for 8 hours. THEN try and catch up with the academic work once the show is running... fun fun fun!
