It is currently 3.12am and I am still awake... baerly. You may be thinking I have been on a drunken night out and have just got in. It's what students do. But you couldn't be further from the truth!
I have 3 assignments due in tomorrow morning and as per usual me and pretty much everyone on my course is in the same boat again. No matter how prepared you are and how much work you do in the months leading to the deadlines you always end up in a zombie like state at 3am in the morning trying to finish off work that should have been finished weeks ago.
My excuse is Christmas and New Year it shouldn't be so action packed. I was hardly ever in and when I was I was tired from the night before. University should understand students have busy social lives and Christmas/NY is the peak of it. Employers understand this they give workers time off to get drunk and then recover without effecting the running of the business. The main reason it doesn't effect business is because everyone else is doing the same thing.
You may be wondering why I have decided to write a blog rather than trying to finish my work. There is a reason and that is my mind has gone blank everything I am typing now is just dribble from the part of my brain thats next the the part that is telling me to go to sleep (I like that part). I am completely out of ideas after typing in the region of 15,000 words in the past few days. Even my iPhone is failing to interest me at the given moment in time. All I want is the comfy pillow and poor excuse of a bed these student housing companies put in. My back is going to take years to recover from the battering this bed is giving it.
Today I have made 2 essential purchases:
a) A printer, scanner (Cannon MP180) that only cost me £30 from Argos. I hate 3 in 1 printers but it will print my assignments off and it means I can scan things until it breaks in a few days/weeks time.
b) An electric heater for my room as my housing agent has still failed to sort my radiator out. My room is not the warmest in the house and the electricity bill is rising. Luckily my bills are included with my rent.
So my room is warm, one of the 3 assignments is printed off and is literally the thickness of a book. It's no Harry Potter tho. I am going to finish off the second and get the 3rd into a finished state tomorrow morning.
