So in the past few days i've managed to blitz through over half my workload. I'm now at a count of about 4000/7100, which is excellent, and if my plan goes well, that'll be up to or near enough 5900/7100, and totally eradicated in the weekend :)
Then it's just revision notes and dissertation work to go, which i have just under 3 weeks and 2 weeks to do respectively, which on their own without all the other assignments is totally doable i feel (yay :))
I've been really lucky with my unit leaders and the assignments. Just when i got to a point where i was like 'i don't really know how/if i'm approaching this correctly, and i don't think i have anough content to fill the word count, both the unit leaders gave absolutely excellent lectures about the necessary format and content of them, which naturally has spurred me on excellently whilst it all remains in my head. hence how i've managed to bump my personality essay up to 2/3 done in the past hour or so, and how i managed to write half my youth justice essay in one night. This is excellent news, and I'm feeling so much better. The giant snow-under is thawing ^^
Other than that, i don't have much else to say, cause my life isn't very exciting atm appart from work lectures and gym... intending to go at 5 today for an hour.
Oh, we do think someones illegally running a company form our adress... letters for a known ex tennant continuously arrive from, and we have been told he has an awful lot of debt and owes our landlord thousands in unpaid rent over the 2 years he lived here. But recently, we've been getting loads of letters adressed to the company 'students 4 student houseing' that are co adressed to this ex tenant and another guy. We looked it up,and sure enough, they are running a business, and have obviously given his old address as the place probably as a text dodge or so they're untraceable or something, who knows? we're going to inform our landlord. He should probably know there is a business apparently running at his property :p
Well guys, you've been fabulous procrastination, but now i'm off to get that remaining 1000 words done on the personality essay before the gym session... wish me luck!!!
So yeah, thats insane :p

Things are looking up...
Ok, so since i last had a moan on here, things are looking up :)
Made this (not finished cause i need some yellowing, tissue paperey, old piano music, what i cannot find atm... suggestions as to where i can get some?
I got a refund for my boots, not much bother there except that as a guest checkout it was very hard for me and the woman to contact each other, but that'e ebay's fault, not hers. I'm hoping since she said i didn't have to send them back, that there may be a way i can fix them? i'll go find a shoe mender and pester them about it :p
I'm eating healthier again and going to the gym/swimming and weights and stuff every day, so things there should be looking up soon enough as soon as it takes effect, come on size 8 bum!!!
And work seems to have FINALLY kicked off, and not a moment too soon! i've only got 2 weeks to finish the lot and then it's straight on to revision, though i wanna write up my notes for at least one unit in the next 2 weeks too... My plan is to get practicles as good as done today if i can. Then i've only got one and a half essays left as well as note wrtting. think i can get the odd half done by the weekend, and maybe the attention and memory lectures written up ready for postering at a later date. Then i've only got one more essay that i want done by next wednesday, about 6 leactures to write up (several of which are not essential as they don't need the textbook me ans sacha share, so it's maybe like 3-4) that i want done by next friday and a dissertation plan/form which I can do over the following weekend and monday hopefully... can i do it? we'll see :s
My only probem now is dissertation ideas... or rather the lack of them. and im just not motivated to go and find some, but i need to hand my proposal form in on the 11th... gotta decide and read relevant stuff pretty speedily!!! :s oops!
P.s., broke girls isn't as bad as i thought it'd be. Or is that just procrastination talking? :p

broken boots and awful assignments!!
Such a trecherous day!!! Can't believe how quickly it turned around!!
It started really well, went to tesco's and bought loads of wheat/gluten free stuff and things for my uni return (yh, i'll explain that in a minute) and got treated to lunch out by my lovely mum :)
We then nosed around the shops a bit and i bought two tops for half price in a sale, megascore!!
However, here it turned a bit sour. As materialistic as it sounds, the realisation that my boots had broken ruined my day! They were new on, the first time i'd ever taken them out! Plus i need every inch i can give myself, and they comfortably gave me a lot!! In fact, i would describe them as even more comfortable than my ordinary flats, which is [was] amazing!!
My beautiful boots before...
My beautiful boots now :'(
Moreover, what is also sad is the immediate difference i notice that just 4.5 inches made to my treatment. People actually acknowledged me as an equal on the street and whilst pushing the trolley around. I didn't get treated like a child, because i was too tall to be one. People didn't walk into me expecting me to move like they usually do, nor did they 'cut me up' with their trolleys like normal as if i wasn't even there, I had a proper adults right of way for once !!! I know I am not VERY small, but at 5 ft 2 inches, people are often suprised to know that I will be 20 in a few months, exclaiming on several occasions that they thought i was just 14-16. I get ID'd for 15 films, which I understand they must if they are unsure,but still, it's just plain insulting! I even got asked if I needed a kids menus at a restaurant on two seperate occasions just last year. The kids menue is for children UNDER 12!!! It is not the biggest problem i could have, i am fully aware of that, and maybe when i'm 30 i'll be greatful, but right now it is entirely enfuriating! If I can find some more platform wedge boots/shoes to get that won't brake after a few hours, i am considering wearing them most days, just cause it makes that much difference to me.
As for the wheat/gluten thing, I have decided that as of sunday (the day I go back to portsmouth) I am going to stop eating it. This is due to it messing my system up a bit. My mum thinks I am an a typical coeliac as i present only with anemia, and digestional discomfort/pain and bloating. It is likely my mother was a coeliac before she became allergic to wheat barley oats rye and gluten on it's own, however she could not be diagnosed as you have to be eating gluten to be diagnosed, and obviously now she can't because of tghe allergy. But yh, I may be following in her footsteps with that, so i'm gunn a stop eating it mostly now so i don't build up to an allergy like she did (and cause it really hurts sometimes!! :s).
So yeah. that'll be a challenge. I have a lot of assignment stilol to get through. about 4500ish words to be exactish, and about 0 motivation :(. I also want to do a lot of revision notage for at least my cognitive exam, so i need to pick up on all that pretty speedily, but tbh now that i'm in a bad mood, i don't know if i can be bothered!!
As a final cheerier note, here is a yet to be finished 'Wublebug'
isn't he sweet? I was going to kit him out in a hat/cane/monicle/tach combo, but them i thought that was a bit serious for a multicoloured fun thing, so i'm making a plane blue version to do that on once i get he materials. I've also bought some little lace butterflies, I'll be thinkning of something to do with them soon i hope, I think my sewing hoops will be involved, but we'll see.
Well, thanks for letting me moan :p PEACEOUT!!!
