YES. He always looks as if a) he doesn't want to be there, and b) working at Marxines is beneath him.

poor lynn ;_; you making me wanna try those ..too

After reading all the comments about arancinis i decided to try one myself, because if someone tries to get four of them in one go it must be good right?
WRONG
I bought the chicken and mushroom one and it was crap.
Stay away from the fried football shaped food.

fuck assessment realisations just hit.

I have a 3000 word arts300 essay due tuesday... and I haven't started yet. starting now. Gah. Ok, is it possible to get at least 1500 done tonight? Let's see...

 

[mserica]

Glitterfairy - without a doubt that is possible (its how i pass uni)

It just means a hell of alot of mocha/coffee to ensure u get it done on time - and in my case ususally endless supplies of kitkat, twirls, crunchies and anything chocolate.!!!

 

[glitterfairy]

I'm at 324 words now.

I do think it's possible (it's a fun enough topic) but I'm just not in the working frame of mind... I've worked so little all semester that at the concept of writing an essay, my mind is just hitting a blank...!!!

 

[glitterfairy]

yay at 500/3000 words now, with original goal of 1500 or 1000 for tonight. At this rate I'll be lucky to hit 750

 

[P_Dilemma]

If lynn can get 3000 words in 3 days, then i can get 1500 in 4!

Yeah, i have an essay due on thursday :rofl:

-P_D

 

[iambored]

and i should be able to get 3500 in 11 days...
& find papers to support every point
& study for and do exams
must keep positive . must get sleep.

 

[glitterfairy]

I could do 3000 in 2 days if I really wanted to, the question is... how crap would it be? Passable but bad, or just really really bad?

I'm at 566. Can I make it even to 650 tonight? I have ten books, this should be easier... (if only so many weren't case studies)

EDIT: I am going to have to work SOOOOOOO hard tomorrow >.<

 

[glitterfairy]

772!!!

Sleeptime.

 

[AsyLum]

2000 words from scratch in 3 hours, in between a multimedia project.

3000 words in a few days is piss easy.

This was at 3am as well. After no sleep for the past 3 days. And no food for at least 24 hours.

And fuck at just getting up

 

[glitterfairy]

1114/3000! (today's goal is 2250, so I can do minor wordfill and polish/rework tomorrow)

Hello quotes and beginning to organise a proper essay foundation.

EDIT: It's 7:05 and I'm at 1617/3000. I think I can get 2250 tonight but I need to focus... it's getting harder and I just wasted a whole hour going to try and make it up now!

EDIT: 10:50pm, 2002 words. My original goal for tonight was 2250, but I reckon if I can get up to 2500 I can go out shopping with mum tomorrow Go go go!

 

[glitterfairy]

8:17pm, 2360/2700 - 3000 words. Getting difficult although at least I have clearer goals tonight, ie fix up referencing (or lack thereof) with help of online journals, and talk about my two case studies. It's like trawling through mud though. I'm so close to the end that my mind doesn't want to bother anymore, you know?

11:54pm, 2541 words. Ridiculously difficult to keep mind on track, it's as if I have no brain cells at all. In a way regret the awful, awful way I approached this essay, but it can't be helped and provided I can kick mind into action it will turn out ok anyway. It's just taking so long! grrrr this should be so much easier.... WHATS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!

Goals:

1) Finish working draft of essay

2) look at case studies, rework essay slightly from top to accomodate case studies

3) fix up formatting and referencing

EDIT: It's 3:10am and I've 'finished' the essay and am adding in the case studies. I'm exhausted... can't decide whether the sleep now and finish it tomorrow, or finish it now and not risk leaving late tomorrow (I have a singing exam at 5). Gah. Let's work to 4am and see how it goes.

EDIT: 3:46am now. Absolutely buggered and I think I've got all I can get from Gone with the Wind. Sleeptime... Monty Python and referencing on the morrow...

 

[*hopeful*]

[mserica]

I'm focused again... need to get healthy....... and I also need to study (I think the first one is easier this time around)!!

 

[AsyLum]

Need more sleep again

 

[glitterfairy]

This isn't really diet or study related, but -

Jesus fucking christ. Has anyone else got that freaky alien drop-down ad that takes over 2/3 of your screen with some game where you're supposed to kill aliens within 5 seconds as they advance towards you (presumably with the intent of killing you)?

It just scared the life out of me/got my brother's partial attention.

PS: Sandfly bites for the lose.

 

[P_Dilemma]

That fucking game gives u the same scores no matter what you do anyway...

Lost 4 kilos off the weight I put on during the holidays, feeling healthy (somewhat) again.

Looking to lose another 5-10 kilos by the end of the year.
