Ian Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 essays to write, quite a few , even still got a while to hand them in you know its best to get them out the way now so you dont have to do what you always do and leave them to the last minute but you cant be arsed and you start using delying tactics such as posting pointless threads Well im having one of them moments now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I've been there jsut a few weeks ago. Hopefully I won't be there for a while and I'll actually do my essays that are coming up with time to spare. Well I can dream can't I?

TrueBlue Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 What makes me laugh though is every year I had assignments in late, and say "next year I'll start early so I don't have to do an all nighter on them". But every year I put it off to the very last minute of, and often past the deadine. When will I learn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Once (many moons ago) did fifteen thousand words (with a pen & paper) over a week-end for Monday morning. Had been putting it off for weeks, went down a storm though...I work well under pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I used 2 & still do now for Tech reports @ work etc, Write my Intro or Prognosis/Thesis & then Conclusion/results/ 1st. Then fill in the gaps via the body - Works 4 me as It sorts out the pending information in regards to, importance, Worthy of mention or trivial -> then no what has to be in the body & saves going off track with trivial or unessc waffle. Decpihering the good from useless info can Ive found be a major in producing a killer document. ( until of course U get to big industry, where pretty colours & pictures impress the suits more often than not LOL ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Don't be sooooooooooooo boring. This is a conversation I once had with my housemates, well something like this. Housemate, "You out tonight for a few drinks, Matt?" Me, "Nah, better get me work done" Housemate, "Whens it in?" Me, "Tomorrow " Housemate, "Don't be such a [not a nice word], god, Matt your such a let down" (Shouts to others housemates that I'm not coming out) Housemates then moan and moan until one says "I'm goin the shop to get some beers in, I'll get ya some cans Matt as your coming out" I ended up going out, coming home doing my essay still drunk (great tip if your having trouble starting one), falling asleep by mistake and handing it in late anyway. And before anyone says, see you should have done it earlier so you could go out in the first place. Everytime I plan on doing it early we always end up going the pub instead otherwise I get laughed at if I plan on doing it before the final week. I still manage to do well though so must be doing something right. 'Live the dream' is our house motto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have finished my degree now but in my final year when i was doing my Disertation i spent too much time "planning" (it was an essay about tim burton and i kept watching batman, beatlejuice and nightmare before christmas pretending that it was research) Though left my self no time to write it. Started on a wednessday afternoon worked all through the night and the next day then went out the next night to a club for my girlfriends birthday and then came back from the club and finished it off while pissed. Bare in mind i didn't sleep at all in between. needless to say it was shit and i got a crap grade. had fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
