I managed to avoid doing a dissertation last year, so glad I avoided it however it did mean I had to do 12 exams in my final year which was crap!
I hate referencing, its a pain in the arse and it should be banished to hell. Takes just as long to write out the references as it does to think of anything original to say

I need to get started on my idea, 10k words in for end of August. This will be my second disso, hopefully will not make the mistake of leaving it to the last minute like the last one!
Writing lots of stuff sucks since I find it really hard to waffle enough to fill out the words or pages. Supposed to write 4 pages of introduction for this CAD stuff I'm doing, I'm struggling to go over a page so far, and this is with talking about the complete history of Archimedes' Screw Pumps...
You know you will!
I say that every time I do a piece of coursework but I never learn. I think I thrive on the pressure though, when I actually have time I like to do everything to perfection and so never get anything done, then when I only have a day to do it I can't faf around with perfection and just dump stuff down on the page.

40 pages give or take on our lab project 'Simulation of the action potentials of the brain'. So far I have typed two... although it is all hideous maths, so it feels like a lot more!
This man speaks the truth! Papers are horribly writen [1,2,3] things [4,5], with far to many [6,7] references within each sentence [8] to make them [9,10] easy [11] to [12] read [13,14].

Did you have a project to go with that?, ive had to make something + write report on it, cant wait to be done.
That was done in my final year alongside a Specialist study which was "The Three Edwards 1280-1360" and a Comparative study about "Quantative and Qualitative History". All was capped off with 8 3-hour exams. It was a busy year!
I spent 4 days a week during the break between my second and third years catching the train to Wakefield to visit the South Yorkshire Archive Office. What a tedious holiday, spent trawling through reams and reams of Indictments and Recognizances!

Got 10,000-12,000 words to write on the reliability of forensic fibre evidence when focusing on the individuality of mass produced items of clothing.
Need to arrange some lab sessions and training on the scanning electron microscope.
Should be interesting.
