    ~I need swift kick~

    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

    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.....

    Endnote might be free through your uni - Monash offers it to students for download on the library website
