Argh! What the hell is wrong with me? I honestly do not understand how I can possibly have written so little of this bloody project outline. I think anyone who knows me will agree that I have an awful approach approach to essays and coursework, that usually involves a lot of stress, tears, and me still writing my last few sentences 10 minutes

I share your pain - my dissertation proposal is due on Friday and I haven't started it - I feel like it's snuck up on me! I realised yesterday I also have no idea *how* to write a dissertation proposal. o.o But it'll get done, even if I have to stay up till 6am again... e_e I know you can do it! ^_^

Oh! And does that mean the tea made it there OK? :D

I think that's what has been holding me up for a long time actually--the fact I don't know how to write a project outline/proposal. I always struggle to wrestle the information and arguments I've gathered from my reading into something coherent, but however bad at essays I may be, at least I usually have some idea what format I'm aiming for! With this, I don't really know what the end resultshould ideally be. But I'm going to hash something out by morning, even if it is an incoherent load of waffle with no focus whatsoever :D. Good luck with your dissertation proposal!

The tea did indeed arrive! Thank you so much ♥. It is my very favourite kind of tea--a real slice of home! I've had a half written thank you email sitting in my phone since last week, but I've been so pre-occupied with procrastinating my project that I never got around to finishing it ^^;.

Rachel! *glomp* you're alive! Hurrah!

Sorry bout the project outline though. :( If it helps I'm working on the world's worst essay right now, and I also have a bad cold and am waiting to hear back from Sheffield (they promised by mid-feb damn it!) and Nightline. Urgh, bad week.

Anyways, I'm glad that you're not feeling so upset this time, but I'm sending you *hugs* anyway.

Right, I'm slinking off back to bed now. Good luck!

P.S. I added you on Skype, (or at least I hope it's you @_@) so maybe we can have a chat soon?

[aicha]

I am ideed alive! Don't worry, it is me you added on Skype :D. And we should definitely talk soon! After I've got this thing out of the way I should be free for a while. In the mean time, good luck with your essay, and I hope Sheffield hurry up and get back to you soon--clearly they're intent on causing us both grief at the moment ;)

And I'm sorry I haven't replied to your email yet--I've been in hermit mode recently trying to get some work done on this project outline. Which is daft, because I could have spent the time I was procrastinating/pretending to work doing something useful, but there you go ^^;.

SO! It's 4 am!! Have you finished your outline yet???

I guess that means you'll be dead today? IT'S VALENTINES :[ HATE :[

[aicha]

...no. But I have made progress. My word count is actually starting to increase, even if it is all a load of nonsense--yay!

Yeah, I'll definitely be a bit zombie-like today. But I won't be asleep! Once I get this thing finished and emailed off I need to go to Shibuya to apply for Shokura, so I'm planning to stay awake 'til tonight. I need to enjoy my last day of holiday before classes start up again ;)

I...had completely forgotten about valentines day, actually.

*huggles* I hope things are going okay at the moment! Ugh, I really wished they'd explained better too just actually how to write the damn thing. ¬-¬ If you want me to read through your outline, or give you any pointers or anything, I'm here if you need me! ^^

[aicha]

Aww, thank you! I've sent it off now, so you don't need to worry about reading it through or anything, but thank you for the offer ♥ I decided in the end that since this bit isn't actually worth anything, I should probably prioritise my mental wellbeing over handing in something polished and coherent ;).
