pancake parlour being open
older sisters
good grammar

what sucks:
thursday and friday falling before saturday
'online tutor' not being online FUCK YOU

caring about essays and being more unproductive as a consequence of over analysing topics

I'm not doing enough work and it's starting to show :(
EMILY, GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR STRESS!

[ancientzoidian]

and then we could reach some sort of equilibrium (lol chem)
no, trust me, stress is no good :( the single consolation is that I'll probably be perfectly fine again Friday night

unrelated: I never see you apart from (rarely) on trams :(
I miss the maths corridor, haha

all i do at uni anymore is essay writing..
so here are some pro-tipz:
although it might seem like extra effort, write a quick outline and do all the research before you start.
and don't waste time trying to write the 'perfect' sentence... because if you're preoccupied with that, it'll probably take 100x as long to actually finish.

also for long essays, i usually dedicate the whole day just to write. trying to write on days where i have other stuff to do, often doesn't work out well.

+ imo satie and debussy are perfect essay writing music 8-)

yeah .. I think it's safe to say I'm guilty on pretty much all of those accounts D: research first is a must, though - really can't make myself write until I'm satisfied I've read up on all relevant aspects (thus the over-analysing problem, though ..)

anyway thanks!!! xD satie seems like a good idea atm

THE AWESOME CUTENESS OF TEH BUNNY YOINK WILL MOTIVATE YOU. ♥

Agreed with the point above about research first. It definitely helps, even if only to reassure yourself that there will be no frantic scrambling for sources the night before it's due. :D

You can do it! \O/
