Stupid Essay or Stupid Me?!

This essay is hard. I've done 3250 words and I need to do somewhere between another 750 - 1750. I think I'll hit the word count but I'm seriously doubting the quality.

This essay isn't a science essay. It's a literature essay. I was rubbish at English Literature at school. Totally rubbish. I picked this essay because I love reading and then discussing what I've read which is 40% of the marks of this special study module, but I've only just remembered how awful I am at literature essays.

Reading through what I've written most of it is total drivel. I'm now torn between just deleting it and trying for a complete and paniced rewrite, or just continuing on and hoping for the best. Ideally (although probably not realisitically) I'll finish it today and then on either Friday morning which I have off or perhaps Sunday afternoon I can fiddle around with it and improve it before I hand it in on Monday.

The other annoying thing is that I have to hand it in to my supervisor in London. Thank goodness I have next monday off but it would be much less of a bother if I could just email it. As we need to sign plagerism stuff that isn't really an option.

Anyway I better get back to it. Once the essay is out of the way I have a story about a horrible doctor to tell. I feel I need to share my rantyness and see if other people think he's as unreasonable as I do.

Chilled Out Weekends = Happy Lily

Now I'm doing long days at uni I'm being a bit of a rebel. I'm taking the weekends pretty much off. From Friday evening through until Sunday evening I don't even think about uni. The old me would have really worried about this and tried to do lots of little bits of work and been permanently stressed. The new me is really liking this. I've realised how much good it does me to switch off for a couple of days. I now actually feel rejuvinated after the weekend.

However, I am worrying that overall I'm not doing enough work. I just really don't know what to do. I don't seem to be absorbing anything by reading books, and to be fair most textbooks are far too dull to read for anymore than an hour without dying inside. I have my second Student Grand Round presentation coming up in the not too distant future so that should keep me feeling like I'm doing some work for the beginning of the week, but after that's done I'll slow to a halt again.

My biggest dilemma this week is what to dress up as for halloween?! Any suggestions would be much appriciated!
