Does anyone have/know where I can find a good brochure template for Microsoft Word or Publisher?
Publisher should have some built in I think.

Sounds about right, otherwise can always landscape word with multiple columns and make your own the good old fashioned way :P.

Crunch time as didn't get a heap done over the break. 30 minute presentation on my project tomorrow and doing my slides now. I should be alright talking for 15-20 minutes then the rest of the time can be filled with questions as not a good public speaker haha.

So going into this weekend I knew I had 4 assignments left - one per unit - all due in late October/early November. Started one Saturday night, finished it last night - 3000 words of great quality. Started the next last night and finished it earlier today, too easy. Both should be Ds if not HDs. Got cocky because I have only 2 left.

Then I looked at what I have to do in these last 2. Will surely be 25 pages of work each. flower my life :'(

You've got this Jukesy! Got time and knocked the other two out of the way so just need to get cracking 8).

I actually went better than expected! Got a HD for the presentation despite getting drilled on my statistical analysis by lecturers/researchers present, and apparently I presented clearly :D.

I also have a 2.8k essay due tomorrow which I left until after that presentation on Tuesday. Only read the article and took down notes. Started it today at around midday and with plenty of breaks in between have knocked out the minimum 2.6k words :D. Just need to re-read, structure it and reference and all good.

Finding a bug in your code a bit before midnight and trying to fix it for the next hour and a half when the assignment is due at 9am the next morning is wonderful :)

Hellopplz · October 17, 2016, 03:52:50 AM

That sucks :(. Hope you were able to get through it!

I've spent the last 4-5 hours changing the structure of my thesis and cutting it down to the page limit (from 50 pages down to 43) but much happier with it now.... Or until I think of something else to try :P.

GoLions · October 18, 2016, 07:42:09 PM

Haha, am or pm? :o

I was in the 4th year software eng lab, and will likely spend all of tomorrow and Friday there as well :P

Hellopplz · October 21, 2016, 12:52:29 AM

If that is 7:30am, crazy Spite!! :o :o

Thesis due tomorrow and relatively content with what I have at the moment. 42 pages all up, 12,000 words and like a combined like 23 Figures/Tables. Can't wait until I submit it in the morning!

Koop · October 21, 2016, 12:54:20 AM

So I have finished my last class for Year 12, considering where I was 12, or even 24 months ago mentally I never thought I'd end up going back to school & doing it.

I do have a combine 12 thousand words to write over the next 8 days though, so I'll be pretty relieved when I submit my final piece next Friday.

AM. I was so tired I thought you meant 6.45AM.

I don't think I have left uni before 7.30ish (PM) since about week 4 of this semester
