I'm currently sitting here with reams and reams of work to do but instead I sit here emailing other procrastinating friends links to Fail Blog and Classified Ads.

So, come on guys and girls. Who else out there has work to do but isn't. It's nothing to be ashamed of....

I have a rather large University design project to have completed by the 19th of March. Although I know I should be doing some, especially last night. I decided to, instead, watch Band Of Brothers with a bottle of red wine.

If you should be doing your dissertation, then take it from me, first hand, do it now NOW NOWWWW!!!!!

DO NOT sit on a table tennis flash game for 3 months, blag 6 weeks worth of extensions and then do 80% of it in a hundred straight hour sleepless haze of red bull fuelled mental illness and hand it in 40 minutes after your third deadline.

Not a dissertation, just a 5 story office building design project. I've done half of it already as well. Just getting motivated to finish the rest!

Just went to get a sandwich to see if food can make me wake up and work a bit more.
Has it? Nope.

I bound mine 20 minutes before the (third and final) deadline, having just discovered that the library printers used different paper sizes for colour and black and white, meaning that my piece of work now sits proudly on the Bath Uni library shelf about a quarter of an inch lower than everyone elses because they had to cut it down so it didn't look like a dog's dinner!

Best part was though... 72%!! I actually couldn't believe it, I couldn't even remember half the stuff I wrote by about a week later. Total blag. If I'd got a Viva I would have been screwed.

The worst thing was, on my MSc I did almost exactly the same thing for my Thesis... Didn't get quite such a good result on that one though.

Did I mention this yet? I am feeling paralyzed.

My posts are forced, right now, to be short and frantic.
I just don't have the luxury of thinking deeply. But my time is at a premium, and so is energy and focus.

I'm working on some learning resources for latin.

Or that's what I'm meant to be doing, Wikipedias entry on Carthage proved to be an interesting diversion, and then I needed a drink, and then I flicked through a book on Roman Britain, then I decided to browse Facebook, and that led me to I Can Haz Cheeseburger, and...I think you can see where I'm going.

Chipping away at the work slowly but surely but the distractions mean it's taking 3 times as long as it should.
