Heaven - the only thing getting me through my own stress right now (granted, it's not as stressful as your situation), is placing myself in the moments after my exam, and with my assignments, I placed myself in the hours and day after I had submitted. Have you tried applying for an extension? Or even a special consideration? You'd definitely have grounds - you would probably have to see a uni counsellor to have them vouch for you on the form, but it's worth it if you realistically need extra time. I have definitely been thinking about you, knowing you've had your head down, bum up and up to armpits in kids
Better go, MIL is here to collect Oscar and I need to say bye to him before getting stuck into my impossible schedule to get reading done in time for exams...
ETA: I was just thinking, Heaven - for your essay, start writing out sentences for your introduction that tell YOU more than anyone else what the essay is about. What is the essay topic? What comes to mind first off? What angle will you use? When I get a blank (and it happens often!), I start of really, really simple. Short sentences about what I'm doing. Then my thoughts start to take off from there. Then you can get rid of your short sentences in an edit...or if they ar good, leave them in! The hardest part is actually starting - have you found that? It really is. Once I force myself to make even the lamest start on an intro, it gets the ball rolling for more intellectual nuggets that have been itching to get out. I hope this helps - I know exactly where you are in regards to that! How about, when you've got it done, you have a drink for me, and when I finish up on Friday, I'll have a drink for you? (But just one cos we're still BFing!
