Not feeling good about this essay.

I'm more focused today, but what I'm writing doesn't feel right or relevant. Not keen to undo so much work though.

Step 1. Log off FanFooty.
Step 2. Do what is required to finish the essay and feel good about it.

I've kinda finished it. I say kinda because I noticed just after I finished the essay that were like more pages of the case study document that I hadn't read which were kinda important. However, what I wrote was fairly similar anyway (this is in part because the perspectives I need to use for my paragraphs were pretty obvious and they're just worded different in the case study), so I realised that rewriting part of my intro, conclusion and the topic sentences of my paragraphs will work. Crisis averted. Should have done by the time the coverage of the Tiges game starts.  8)

Nice Nige! Learnt from the past to not leave everything to the last moment :P. And just a minor hiccup then since you had everything down already.

I severely lack motivation to start this essay (Due tomorrow at 4pm), because the prep for it was an online lab that discussed part of what we need to do for the essay, but didn't really cover anything... Doesn't help when these assignments are scaled for the subject to distinguish those who are better suited to Honours (in Psychology), where they make the means for each class at like 6. So for our last assignment (Lab Report), the mean ended up being like 5.5 or something, which makes no sense as they have other assessments that are not scaled. So it's like pointless to scale people on certain things ::).

Either way, it's been a while since I've done an essay the day it's due (Like 2 years pretty sure). I'm stressed but I can crack it out since already found all the resources and skim read some :P. I just need those and makes my night all the easier 8).

Funny you say that...

A gif was to Reddit today captioned: BSing an essay the night before its due.

This was it:

[Hellopplz]

Well you become pretty going at BSing things after a while. I've had to BS some pretty whacky reasons for things occurring in my economics/econometric subjects (Best example is owning a bike leads to having more children based on stats), so this was easy :P.

Got through my 2000 word essay tonight, now just to work on formatting/references which is easy, and possibly add a few things here and there for the essay question. Then I can sleep for a while :D.

Or watch a movie.

Only one more part (out of three total) for my economics and finance assignment to go :D 7 paragraphs, mostly containing content I've covered in the other parts, and a budget in excel, so not that much. It's due next week Thursday but will try and crack it out tonight.

Then just a 20-page report due next Friday at 5pm that I have to start...will be close but we'll see.

You gotta write about exporting an Aussie brand to an overseas country, there's so many things you gotta cover it's ridiculous.

Ahh okay - So not a write-up on The Wolf of Wall Street?

[Purple 77]

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to leave my 2000 word essay basically till the last day... it was due at 2pm. So I woke up early and started writing at 9.30, and got it done at 1.30.

Always found it ironic that the topic I was writing about was the Rational Decision Making Model... probably why I only passed it haha

Uni assignments due at 9am on a Monday morning can go suck a flower

Oh wow, that'd be a pain hahaha. I'd rather just submit it the night before than wake up early :P.

I now learn implicit differentiation now to answer a question for my assignment. Then I leave the other one to be done tomorrow night.

Has to be done by Tuesday morning anyway cause we have to go through our code and all that, so may as well finish it on time. Almost done though 8)
