death by dissertation

There’s been radio silence on the blog front because it’s been DISSERTATION DEADLINES

It was getting a bit panicky when the deadline was due in a week and the only information my brain would voluntarily give me was the lyrics to ‘take on me’ BUUUT it’s finally done! The biggest thing I’ve ever written at uni, plus they get bound up all nicely like little books:

and I’m so tired but it’s done! and I can sleep

as you can probably tell by this post, my brain’s not making a whole lotta sense right now. But, if anybody’s trying to get something done this week, here:

It’s actually kinda helpful.

Daily Prompt: Overworked

via Daily Prompt: Overworked

This prompt is pretty convenient since I had my second essay hand in of the week today, and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m feeling pretty overworked. I stayed up til just before 6am trying to proof-read and make sure it was OK but since it had gotten to the point where it hurt to read and words made no sense: shouldn’t Woolf’s To the Lighthouse be Litehouse? Since you say the T first? Why the hell should the g and h be in there when they’re not even pulling their weight? They can’t just lump on to the word when they’re not participating, they have no right, how dare- you get the idea. Anyway, that’s the last essay of the previous term finished, and now it’s onwards and upwards to the final term of my final year doing an undergraduate course! To celebrate this momentus occasion, I am setting myself up in the perfect place on the sofa and consuming all food within arm’s reach, which is probably not the best idea since like a puppy I eat until someone stops me.

Bruce, I feel ya buddy

 

As of today, I will have handed in my last assignments for the second year of uni. It’s been a massive pain in the ass, especially because I’ve actually loved all the stuff we’ve studied and have had loads of stuff I could say about the subject, but the way the essay questions are phrased have all just made me feel a bit:

It’s also been a pain in the ass because it’s been getting closer and closer to deadlines, people have been posting in the English student page that they’ve already finished all 3 essays and how good it feels, and meanwhile I’ve got to the stage of tiredness where everything is hilarious and words don’t make sense anymore.

Long story short, I’ve managed to produce and submit some halfway decent work, but I’m pretty sure I spelt my own name wrong at the top.
