Stressed!!!

I have just realised that I mainly use this blog to moan, I don't mean to but this is a great way to actually let out my feelings without annoying my friends or family, well verbally anyway....

This week I have been trying to get these assignments done. I am really really really struggling with grammar, unfortunately I write as I speak and I understand that this isn't the best way to write 'academically' but I don't know how else to write. Otherwise I will be concentrating too hard on the way of writing insted of the content and this isn't the right way round.

Another thing is starting to get on my wick, is this referencing marlarky, I keep getting conflicting information so when I think I'm doing it the right way I find out thats wrong and then when I do try to change it its still wrong. Just starting to get very frustrated and I really don't want to start thinking whats the point?

Had my draft essay marked today, there was some good feedback but the problem is that the feedback I got was generally about grammar, referencing and trying to make my essay flow. Also about putting in references without using direct quotes, how else do you do it?? I'm so frustrated and confused...

Today started really badly anyway taking an hour and a half to get to bloody college but thats by the by. I am feeling a bit guilty as my bad mood is being taken out on my family... I should just learn to shut my mouth I think...

Anyway the Christmas tree is going up tomorrow (yes, I know its early) but I am looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to having a day not thinking about assignments but I'm sure it will be at the back of my mind making itself known.

Its been ages

Wow, I can't believe how long its been since I last blogged.

The last few weeks I've been trying to complete my assignments but I've been a bit stuck, Lin's essay I haven't really got a problem with as I vaguely know what I'm going to write. The only problem is that I can't find any of the research that I'm looking for. Very annoying!!!!

The one that I'm having a real problem with is Rachels but today was good and I managed to actually get my head around it... sort of...

Feeling so grotty today, I can't wait for this cold to bugger off to where it came from.

I hope that everyone has a good weekend and that next week is better than this one.

Signing off for now..
