Well, it turns out the third year of university is in fact a lot harder than the second. Joy.

All that rushing to get essays done on time made a impression. So, so far out of eight assignments this year (including 1 9000 word dissertation, 1 group presentation, 1 research proposal and five essays) I have already completed 3, so I have left 5; the dissertation, 3 essays and the group presentation.

Currently cutting assignment number 4 down to the word limit, so that should be done by the end of today. Then I'll get back to struggling to collect enough data for my dissertation and catching up with the work. Every single lecterer, after looking at our schedule harks on about how much free time we have and gives us all this reading to do. Only...we have no free time because its taken up by all the bloody reading and work.

Should be able to make a start on the group work soon as well, and depending on how many hoops my dissertation suprevisor makes me jump through I might actually be able to begin assignment number 5.

Every lecterer seems to only think I'm around to do their course, and no other so its a heck of a lot of work but I'm hoping to stay on schedule and pass this year, then its into the big wide world.

Can't wait for april, thats when the deadline for my dissertation is. I just want the lousy great thing out of the way so I don't have it hanging over me.

Did find a great site over the summer called 43things.com, love it and already got some goals out of the way.

Oh, and mostly moved my blog to :

Just because I can understand the customation a bit better. Not sure if I'm going to just post on there, but it is easier to work with so I might well do so. Pop along if you want to keep an eye on my progress, should be able to eat into some major goals this year after university.
