When you open up your diary and have a heart attack about the at least 20 hours of paid work, 40 hours of research and writing, and 20 hours of study needs that needs to be done by this time next week. :S

Share in your Red Bull inducing stresses.

Actually already went into that (if in a slightly more practical/performance assessment perspective) a few weeks ago. I haven't quite hit burnout yet (so I hope) but I'm exhausted almost every day and am living off a very detailed schedule/list to make sure I get everything done. It's a stressful time!

The only upside to this: Part time uni for the win. I have no idea how people study full-time past 3rd year AND juggle work etc, and stay sane.

*I have not yet succumbed to either Red Bull or Coffee yet!!!*

I have basically done nothing but uni work for the last 2 and a half weeks.
It is at least 5 times worse than any other 2 week period since I started uni.

Due From the 2nd - 16th:
6 Page Law Assignment (25%)
2000 Word Research Proposal (20%)
5000 Word Literature Review (20%)
20 Minute Presentation (10%)
10+ Page Contribution to a Group Assignment (35%)
2000 Word Essay (15%)
2000+ Word Research Methodology (20%)

All I have left now is 1500 words of the methodology for Friday.

So now isn't a good time to ask if you want to provide live accompaniment next tuesday :p (going back to original key for now)

I've just realised today that I may just have to completely revamp my major creative writing piece. I think some of my extra-curricular activities are just going to have to go until assessments are over.

I had a nervous breakdown that lasted the entire afternoon when i looked at the next 4-5 weeks in my diary... essay after essay and whoever thought it was a nice idea to make assessments worth 50% is seriously damaged

Finals worth 90, 95% are just as annoying as an assessment worth 50%.
