Fuck December

[Synful*Luv]

^Your dog is a pussy.

Does that make you a pussy as well? Or do you not wear a coat in cold weather?

December = Finals. That stresses me out. Xmas doesn't stress me out. NYE planning does though.

We have mid-terms and they also stress me out. What sucks is that I have 3 mid-term exams day before xmas break. I will be stuck thinking about results a lot and that will suck even more.

I have finals next week too. It's a bit stressful but I never worry about my results after having taken the tests because it's irrational. Once you're done, you have no control over your results, unless you attend a private university in Europe and pay for your professor's new fridge. So why stress out?

yeah that's one of the reasons. Another one is that if I'm studying a lot for something that is really hard I really dream only about passing it at that time. Failing would mean shitloads of hard work over again. That's why I'm curious about my results.
If it's something I find easy then I don't care. If I pass that's good, if I don't I'll spend some time (and money) studying again and pass it.

[tHuG $TyLe]

I have to hand in some work tomorrow. Haven't even started

 

[Bobby Sands]

anyone else here writing a dissertation?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^ Me.

 

[Bobby Sands]

when does yours have to be done by?

how many words?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I believe its 10,000 words. The draft is in for December 18th the whole thing is in for May or something.

 

[Bobby Sands]

and how much have you done so far?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Zilch.

I will get it done though. No panic yet.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

hehe you sound like me.. Last time I wrote an essay the night before it was due I got a distinction.. Wonder how long that can last..

lol. nah im just asking because i want to know how much words id need to have before handing up a draft, or does it have to be the whole thing completed? that doesnt make sense to me. why have it all done in December when it doesnt have to be completed until May.

Dissertations seem like a total waste of time as far as im concerned.

im starting to get stressed over this shit.

That's how I always do it :lol:

Been my tactic since school. Hasn't failed me yet.

My draft is only supposed to be 2 pages max. It's just what I've done to this point. Which isn't a lot.

I think dissertations can go to hell.

 

[Bobby Sands]

really? thats all. i assumed that a draft was the whole thing completed so they could tell you what you have done wrong or how you can improve it.

what do you study btw?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Web Development. Which is funny as we haven't done any Web Development since first year. At least I have my Cisco Certificate :wondering:

 

[THEV1LL4N]

not doing dissertation until next year.

this year, i have 2 exams to revise for, 1 report, 3 essays and 1 online task to complete over christmas. after that we will also begin another practical report, group presentations and individual presentations and another 2 essays.

Wait till you experience a month where it never gets warmer than -40C. You'll change your mind quick.

Where is that? I'd rather that than 50C!
