I have all this work to do for collage and its so frustrating. Its not that i can't do the work, its that while I've got the work to do i really can't enjoy anything else....Even when im getting through the work fine and im just having a break, i find it difficult to relax. Its really quite annoying, because i just can't think creatively when all thsi is on my mind...and that is not only affecting my ability to have fun but its also a major strain on my art.


My history teacher told me today that my coursework would get a U...however he told me afterwards that that was because it was a hundred words to short and the content wasn't bad. But that kind of ruined my whole day, thinking all that work i had done was a waste. Now im sat here, wasting time so much because i don't feel like working and i can't think of anything to do to have fun.
 
i certainly wouldent go out with you if you did that.

i think what you really need is some hl2 action.
 
Boy, do I ever know how you feel...

Reminds me of a Calvinism:

"You can't just turn on creativity like a tap, you have to be in the right mood."

"What mood is that?"

"Last-minute panic."
 
"college" "too" (short)

just get the work done and then enjoy life.
 
Well i am doing the work, but it keeps coming back to me and i get given more. Its all going to be over by the end of next week (After that is pure revision for exams which im fine about)

The point about creativity though, is that lately ive really not been able to get into art unless im doing something i really enjoy...i didnt like the questions much this year and the ones i chose could be good but my hearts just not in it.
 
Just don't do half of it. If you are going to pass a class if you don't do a few assignments then don't do them. That is what I do and I get all Ds :)

haha same here when my computing coursework had to be in. Three days before it had to be in I decided I had better get on with it, and spent pretty much three days working none-stop. I probably work better under pressure because when you think you have tonnes of time to do it you usually slack off and think there are better things you could be doing, like playing games. However if your under pressure you realize you're gunna have to bust your ass to get it finished.

It worked for me anyway, my computing teacher reckons it'll be an A.
 
I have a shitload of exams coming up. Most importantly maths. The last maths exam I took a got a very low U. I need to pass one of the upcoming 3 to be allowed to do it next year. I am confident that I am capable. It isnt hard at all really. But I am getting so fed up of maths and my teachers that I am getting to the point of not being motivated enough to even start. ;(
 
Yeah. motivation has been the problem for me really...I dunno what it is, but for some reason my motivation to work he almost gone. Its like im becoming really short sighted with regards to my future...I dunno...really i just want to play Hl2. Damn you Valve!

I know how you feel. I have so much end of the semester work at college and I don't want to do any of it.

I have a VERY low respect of professors who "count words".
 
note college in the uk, is not university silly americans :p. I.e a work count is specified by the exam boards and you get marks knocked off for going over it/under it depending on the subject, i think.....

Let me guess? Pure? I got a U in my statistics mock and a U in my pure mock :(. Ive spent load revising and i havent got anywhere. Maths is really too hard compared to other subjects its just stupid.

Ive got to the stage when i feel guilty when i dont do enough work, that doesnt mean it doesnt bore me to no end....... :(

Oops. ;( So what is a college/university called in the UK? :)

Anyways, you can go parallax yourself. :laugh:
 
The...ironic thing about all this, is that im the kind of person who does actually run off stress. I dont get stressed like other people because it just feeds me...i still hate it to no end though.
 
"Maths is easy Tony"
:|, indeed. We just need the mark scheme and we're fine ;)
 
Yeah, Tony maths is very difficult. It was actually the mechanics module...



I got all 3 coming up :(


Not sure if I can be arsed.... :x
 
Haha, I know how you feel about coursework, they do pile it on. Just stick with it, and don't crumble under the pressure like I did :P find an outlet... something that won't strain your creativity too much, not even nessecarily something you especially enjoy, maybe just something physical. Just hit something or take lots of runs/walks to clear your head, whatever works.

I just realised I discovered drumming way too late, coulda saved alotta pain :)
