How Was Your Day? High Five

I dunno.... I think I might

I still havent seen him, theres so much I havent told you about the party I just cant be bothered to type it all
But yeah we kissed a lot alot, I lost count it was just insane and I did say bye to him cos he had my feather on his hat so I wanted to get it back and say goodbye and we did kiss goodbye and you know a few texts that night
I nearly saw him today, my friend was like omg there he is, he didnt see us and we walked the other way cos I wasnt ready to see him cos well I wasnt sure what to say or anything but now I wish I had spoke to him :(
I did text him though
ahhhh its sooo confusing

Ahhh yeah I know :p

But I dont want to get ahead of myself cos its stilll really soon, since it was only on saturday and I still dont know what he thinks about the whole thing and whether it was just a one off so I dunno
All I know Is I really want to see him and just talk to him, cos its werid people asking me all these questions and I just dont know what to say

He obviously likes you if you spent the night kissing.

Why don't you meet up with him for a drink or something and talk it over? You won't find out how he feels if you don't talk to him.

Can we go on the shoutbox? :p

The next eight weeks of my life have just been taken up by three assignments for one module totalling 7000 words :eek: Then there's the 2000 word assignment for another module, a photographic practical assignment complete with crime scene sketch, and on top of all that, two exams to revise for :crying: There is no way I'm going to get all that done in 8 weeks.

I can feel the pressure now. The module handbook for RCS says 3000 words, not 7000. Pretty sure RCS won't be handed in on 27th April. That's exam week too.

On the upside, there shouldn't be any more lectures after that week so I can leave and be free :D Still have to redo as assignment that I failed last semester but that's not until August.

So to sum up: four written assignments, 9000 words, a photography assignment, bit of art work and two exams :D

Could you try to plan to do a little bit every day so you don't feel too bogged down?

wow Abigail that is a lot of work!

Today was ok at college, I still didnt see him, well I did on the stairs when I was going to lesson but didnt hav a chance to say anything, I did call him earlier but he didnt answer, im just gonna leave it a bit for now and just see what happens.....I think



and bloody hell! this is my 15,000th post, I really think I should slow down, I might slow down for lent :rotfl:

yesterday i came back to uni. went to netball but there was hardly anyone there so we were playing 4-a-side instead lol which was mad! then had to see a show for my course, it was about sex slavery and was depressing and it didnt help that the company were rubbish!

today not done much. should have done work but couldnt be bothered. had a seminar which was so boring, all he does is talk at us for 2hrs and i always think im gonna fall asleep! then had cheerleading which was alright but dragged a bit. then came home and had a house bitching session which we hadnt done in a while so that was good!

congrats :)

I worked out that I have ATLEAST nine pieces of coursework to do :( I'm so bad at staying on top of work and too good at procrastinating. I have to revise for my exams too :(

The heating has broken too, which we thought was fixed today. As soon as the gas man left, the lights on the boiler were flashing, which means there is a fault. It's too cold :(

I'm also tired because I was up until 3:30 talking to Katie, a friend from America, and it's left me very very confused :(

Other than that, I'm good because I have a history trip tomorrow. And Pirelli's Miracle Elixir, the song from Sweeney Todd, just came on in my playlist :p

That's horrible :(... The 8000 words part is the worst. What are you writing about?

Grr I'm having an "everythign is annoying me" night :( I don't know why.
Though my friend jsut proper cracked me up so all is good :)

Aw jeez don't go there with school work :( I have 1 RE project and 2 RE essays due in form before half term (thr project) and monday (essays) on top of that I have my english courseowrk, I can't get on top of any of it.. work isn't helping and I'm just at the end of my tether now.

I reckon we need a thread on how to organise your time or something! lol

Yeah, that's actually a really good idea Kirsty :)

For me:
1. Stop messing around on the internet
2. Go to the library.
3. Bribe myself with treats if I do X amount of hours
4. No House or Home and Away if work isn't completed.
5. Prioritise.
6. Don't stress about it. Important to remember that I'm not superwoman and I can't do everything without making myself ill.
7. Get lots of sleep, but not too much that I'm asleep more than I'm awake (pretty much the case in general).

^ Is probably a load of rubbish. I'm high on painkillers right now :thumbsup:

After I have done my two exams (w/b 27th April) I can leave for the summer :D I finally have some motivation to do work :lol: Nine weeks left of work then almost five months of relaxing :thumbsup:

To be honest, this year has gone really quick. It seems ages since I started back in September and actually liked living here.

I'm debating whether to go out tonight or stay in and get on with some work and pack for tomorrow :hmm:

I know what you mean. It seems like only a couple of months has passed since I started the "crucial" year, to quote all of my teachers :rolleyes:.. My drama exam is on 29th April and I'm starting to really worry. No matter how hard I try, I just don't seem to be able to focus or even care enough to do my work. Especially with media studies. I hate my teacher. I hate the people I'm with. I hate the coursework because nothing I do seems to be good enough. I'm sure - and I don't mean to sound egotistical here - my teacher just down-grades me because she doesn't like me.

Maybe do an hour or two of work and then go out later, Abigail :searchme:

I need to learn to get more sleep. I've gotten into the habit of going to sleep at like, 1:30 or later because my friend, Katie, who lives in America doesn't seem to understand we're in different time zones and texts me all night :rolleyes:

We made one of our lecturers cry today lol. Bless her :p.
None of us had done our work she asked us.. well not finished.. and it has to be sent of to the EV like this week, so she was upset a bit. We felt so bad. Think she needs to cry more often because never seen everyone work so hard :p.

I have SO much work to do as well Abigail :( Feeling the pressure.. I hate how I leave things to the last minute. Got like 15 weeks to do...
- 2 tasks on CS
- 5 tasks on ECE
- 1 task on WE
- 2 tasks on VA
- 3 tasks on ST
- 3 new modules probs with 4/5 tasks each
- 2 tasks on LH (the one we made the lecturer cry on :p)
- Too much Welsh Bac stuff.. because our teacher sucks.
- 4 tasks on TO
- Rest of AON keyskills.. corrections on Comms keyskills.

That's all I can think of right now.. but I am sure there's more :(. All in 15 weeks... I REALLY need to get my head down!!!! :crying:

Awww.. Had nobody at all done the work? Not even one person? Poor lecturer :(

I think she had had one persons in. But we soon cheered her up :p.
A lot of us misunderstood her I think.. we thought she wanted the whole assignment in.. but she was happy to have just a few tasks.

Ohhh.. That isn't so bad then. Have you done many tasks then? :p

Well it's 2 assignments that have to be sent off.. for same lecturer.
On RT I had done them all.. just had to do corrections.. and I had done task 1, 2 and 3 corrections on the college drive... but task 4 corrections at home, and she REALLY wanted it today.. so I was able to give 3 tasks of that, she said that was fine.

Then on LH, I haven't finished any tasks.. but I said I had haha :lol: Lying, hoping I could give it in tomorrow.. but she told me to email her it tonight haha :eek:. So now for the next few hours after dinner, I'm going to put my head down, cause I still feel bad, she's a really nice lecturer as well haha, which makes it worse.

I always lie. I'm awful. My drama teacher is lovely but I'm such a good liar she can never tell. If I told her the dog ate my coursework she'd probably believe me :lol:... I feel bad though, because she's the only nice teacher I have :(

I have been on a few time management courses in my career, and one of the things that they all recommend is that you 'touch each piece of paper only once'.

What this means in practice is that if you are doing something that needs to be done do your best to stop interuptions, i.e. no computer, mobile phone etc with constant messages and texts.

Set yourself a target of a sensible end point, obviously if the task can be done in and hour and a half then do it - finish the task and scratch it off your to do list.

If the task is longer term, e.g. a dissertaion or long essay then it is harder to find a suitable stopping point - but it is essential tthat you try. Loads of time is wasted if you stop work at the wrong point. You may have to go over everything you have done previously just to get a handle on where you left off. Finish your point/arguement/section - and have a plan so that you know you can just go on to the next bit then no duplication.

Good luck with the studying guys - glad it isn't me! My son is doing his Highers this year and no one wants advise from their mum and dad - which is a shame because we both have loads of academic experience......

Haha Trinity... you're more than welcome to give academic advice on here anyday! I know I'd be more than greatful for any good tips you have lol :)

I have an interview for Brighton University, thing is... I really don't want to go there. I made a stupid decision only thinking of the social life to be honest, it's way too far from home and I know I won't settle in, but I only have one other offer apart from that so part of me says I should go.. I'm all confused :(

I'm having my tea now, then cracking on with my school work, tonight is my only proper free night I have to myself, and instead of going out I'm staying in to catch up... that way I can go out on Friday night instead if my mates go out and not feel bad :)...and I'm goign to take the time saving tips into account too :D

You should talk to your tutor about it. It's a tricky situation when you only hold one offer. You have three main options.

1. Go for the interview, and if they accept you, put it down as an insurance choice.
2. Decline the interview and just accept the one offer.
3. Decline the offer and the interview and go through Extra (you can't use Extra is you already hold offers).

Are you happy with the offer you already have? Do you think you will be able to meet it? Is the university known to be flexible with their offers when it comes to results day?

Remember most students who don't get a place at uni because of their results get a place through Clearing.

Plymouth sent me this VIP pass thing for their preview day im looking forward to it
Im sooo tired, I woke up at 5 cos this guy sent me text at 1am but I woke up at 5am lol, so I had a nap earlier
I hate wednesdays I get really bored but Im gonna have another early night tonight :p

Yeahh I'm happy with the offer I have and that, and the Uni is flexible.. is known to be flexible anyways and I reckon I could meet their grades, it's the only place I want to go.

I've spoken to my Nan and she said that if I don't want to go I don't have too, but I think I will speak to my head of year or tutor tomorrow.

Thats what I was like with sheffield the one I last heard from
I didnt go in the end but that was me :)

I've been giving two separate dates for interviews for Carnegie College. So going to see my pupal support teacher about getting away to the friday one which is the 13th of march. :Dx

My mum just gave me a letter that arrived today and I've been accepted into the college I really wanted to go to. I'm so happy right now :D I really can't wait :D:D

Congrats Rawnie :) What's that to study?

Thank you! :D
I'll be doing Drama, English Literature, English Language and Psychology :)
