~I need swift kick~

[Catastrophic]

Please help...

I am doing my last 6months of uni before I finally graduate... There is only 2 subjects to go... In which I have to do 3 assessments each...

2x 3000 word assignments
2x posters
2x 4week block placements

Now with everything else going on at the moment, I haven't been able to find the energy/motivation to start these assignments and I really should be doing them already...

So I call on my lovely BB ladies to kick my butt every few days and remind me to get them done.

Please get all on me

[feeb]

Thats a good load for 2 subjects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For 1 I have 2 essays (dont have yet but 1 will be 3000 - 4000 ish and other a bit less)
13 modules to read and do activities and contribute to discussion boards
and 76 hrs of placements!

So we can kick each other up Butt!!!!!!

[Party-of-five]

Please kick my butt too, 1x 1500 words due in 2 weeks.1x3500 words due at the end of semester. 4 articles to read and summaries weekly.
Oh and if anyone out there is a social worker and has any literature on ABI and challenging behavior in the community, please throw it my way.

Good luck girls. Hope you get you work done

Alrighty then. Butt kicking started:

Have you worked out a schedule including contingency time for when things get hard? Work out when things are due. Your due date is now a week earlier than that (so you have some time up your sleeve).

Take 1 assignment & understand the question. Summarise it for yourself. Work out the rough structure, such as Intro 500 words, point 1 400 words, point 2 400 words etc, conclusion 500 words.
Start writing down your references as you go. I always type them up and delete the ones I dont use at the end.
Write dot points for each part of your argument
Have a break. Let it stew.

Repeat for the other assignment.

What is a poster?

Things are difficult but you can get through. This is like riding up the last couple of hills at the end of the race, Tour de France style. You can get there.

Now to take my own brilliant advice.....

[feeb]

It's hard Hun I hear you!! Hang in there not long for you to go!

I am stressing big time 5 modules out off 13 done, 3000 words essay due 18 days need to read articles and write!!! As well as placements!!

[Rivlas]

Ok, I am back and will be checking up on you all more frequently.

How is the last bit of study going for this year. I know for some you will feel snowed under with some doing exams and some placement.

How many are job hunting and how are you going?

Here is a tip my DH gave my DD (he read ALOT of applications) get someone to read it over looking for spelling errors as spell check is not to be relied on.

DD2 is nearly finished her last placement which she has not enjoyed as much as her first as the guy she is with doesn't let her have full control like she should have. Thankfully she can get some extra experience towards the end of the year when she can be with DH.

Thanks for checking up Riv.
I finish in 2 weeks... I have completed my last placement on friday (and passed). I only have two group presentations to go now. And today I really don't want to do any of it It sucks.
I'm doing the job hunt. I've already sent in applications - and got an interview - but didn't get accepted in the first round offers

Hopefully your are all doing fantastic and have a great last wind for the end of this year xoxoxox

[Rivlas]

Yes, it's hard to get motivated when you are so close to finishing. Just think by November you are finished and life will slow down a bit

Doing well and had the boys for the weekend and our beautiful one month old granddaughter for a visit. Looking forward to Jan when I get some time off and was told by DGS1 that he was coming to stay for ten sleeps during the holidays.

MN, DD2n just got home from placement and could have quoted you about the motivation. She has an interview Friday morning so said if she gets the job it will be hard to motivate herself.
