Raro? Drink of the decedent capitalists. I like the own brand stuff where you can leave the sugar to precipitate from solution before consuming it. This is the true drink of the proletariat.

What’s the essay on? Maybe we can help.

So you’ll make about three actual statements (health, culture, socio economic etc.) and then write three pages to pad out (people seem incapable of accepting that 99% of the time you could tell them in a few lines what you could also waffle about over the entire surface area of an A4 page). Then you’ll go and find some academic sources to support your arguments (because peer-review is sooooo much more reliable, despite all the mistakes), stick in some referencing and click “Print”.

I was supposed to be writing about partnership law but even housework seems more appealing....

Re: procrastinating
 
oh..oh...me too Newfies
I am doing a postgrad dip with a view to a masters ( have to do the PGdip to be invited)
I'm doing one paper a semester and working full time (will have pg cert at end of year hurrah!)
I'm doing mine in Public Health...how about you?

As for ideas....you just have to do it one sentence at a time I think
Keep me posted study buddy

And littleal - it's bad when you get going on the housework...skirting boards are good cos it's impossible to stop when you get started - a bit like study lol

Ahh I have mine in Advancing Nursing Practice - Intensive Care.

It isn't going to bad I was at work last night and I had the opportunity to discuss with my mentor who has done loads of study and she helped a fair wack last night so If I keep awake I can hopefully get half way though today!;);)

I happen to be in dream land already I think I have drills and banging going on as we re having HRV installed at this very moment.:(
Ahh well back to it. Got to keep going and going a bit like an ever ready battery!:thumbsup:

:thumbup: Yep, just keep going at a steady pace and work to a plan.

Can’t study where it’s loud though, prefer to find a quiet room and lock myself away. I’m a bit ADD and too easily distracted especially when it comes to working on very difficult problems, it’s very frustrating :(.
