I can't bring myself to do any uni work.

I have a 2,500 word essay in for Thursday at 5pm on Cyborg and I cannot do it I spent all day at uni/work followed by south west trains dumping me in raynes park for nearly an hour without a replacement bus.

I have all day tomorrow and wednesday but with dyslexia and my wondering and bored mind which is tired and distracted, its next to impossible I have over two thirds left and I don't want to do it. I know exactly what you mean.

To make it worse I have a report due in for "Personal and Professional Development" tomorrow about how peoples sleep patterns differ with age (how relevant) and it's supposed to be 10-15 pages long and I haven't even started it. I just cannot motivate myself to do it, like a mental block for the whole thing.

Is this a computer science module? In our first year of computer science we had to do a module called "Information and Communication skills" that was to teach computer science people how to write essays and reports, that was back in September 2005, we were told we would have to write essays and reports for our modules, 24 modules later and that was the only module we have had to write an essay or report in so far, I've probably forgot all that by now.

As for Java you either love it or you hate it, I stuck with it and I'm getting better now, just check out the programming forum if you need help with anything Java related, I normally reply to Java threads.
 
i felt the exact same as you (but in college) i just couldn't be bothered, nothing interested me (i tried 7 differen't subjects of 2 years :p). i far prefered (and still prefer) working in my current job (which is crap).
 
I just looked at the report fomar document and the whole thing is pretty much done for me I just need to expand on it and add my own stuff. I don't have anything to expand on or to add but I suppose it's not all bad I can work something out, seems to see if I know how to layout a report and the basics of report writing rather than being about the content itself.

I don't really think this report is particuarly important to be honest, but I know it is worth something towards my my final grade so I can't just ignore it.

*gets it done*

May as well stay up now and get it done, got a staff night out tomorrow night and some of us are meeting up for a chinese beforehand as well. Sooner I get this done sooner I can relax and think about that. *makes a coffee*

Yeah I have more fun at my job at the Cinema than I do at Uni, but I know that the Cinema job has no long term prospects and the pay is crap so I need to stick out with Uni, it's just proving difficult to motivate myself.

i'm doing an adult night coursey thing in photography next year, heres to hoping i can actually stick at something, i never had this problem in school, i never did homework, but it wasn't because i couldn't be bothered/couldn't motivate myself, it was purely on the principle that if they didn't have enough time to teach me it in the lesson it wasn't worth knowing :D.

things like coursework i always found a dawdle and was amoung the first lot to hand in each successive draft.

but college...bleh
 
Yeah I kinda fell apart as soon as I started college. Just seemed to have lost all motivation to do any kind of work and I can't even seem to force myself to do work anymore I just seem to hit a brick wall. It's strange, I never had a problem like that at school either.
 
In the same boat...2 essays for wednesday and 1 for friday. Attempting to start one of them now and i've even adjusted my sleep pattern to cater for it. I now wake up at
7pm and go to bed around 10-11am. :o
 
i thought it was just me :p

got a java assignment in for wednesday at half 2, i've done a fair bit its just getting my head around the syntax thats confusing me, bit ive got a feeling plenty of people in my group are going to do worse...

going home on thursday too the feeling of relief when its handed in will be soooo good :D
 
i think i can top this.
i had a c++ assignment due in last monday (which is 100% of the module) which i haven't done and a 4 page assignment in for thursday which i haven't started :D
no good

No offence but if you aren't going to do any work at uni, why are you there?

well due to joining a month late i have missed a lot so needed to catch up.
i have had extensions with my other work which has all been done (probably not the highest standard tho) but the c++ assignments is near impossible for me to complete due to missing the lectures and i haven't had the balls to face my lecturer and the other lecturer is a useless **** who everyone would love to see sacked...
 
Admittedly C++ is a pain in the arse to use/learn :p At the end of my first year i had a week to learn C/C++ then a week to do the coursework...fun week that was!

I knew/know loads of people who are just at uni for the sake of it, rather than being here to learn. It seems a waste to not use your time at uni well, when you are paying a huge amount to be there
