How much longer you got?

I feel the same, but in 3 exams and 3 weeks time it will all be over... so im holding on.

I've 5 assignments due.

4 over the next 5 days. Hand in dates went balls up and we emailed tutors and only got a couple of days extension.

I'm officially screwed. I'm still stuck on my unix script and for Wed I have an advance java chat room to implement which I haven't started.

Don't get me started on C++, Oracle and creating a mashup using several web technology's.

:mad:

The only thing keeping me going is my placement in 6 weeks with BMW. I prepared so hard and got the place. I can't fail but it seems probable :(
 
Software Engineering and I honestly don't see how I can get past this. I've had a positive outlook for the few past weeks. I've hardly had much rest over the past 3/4 weeks and it isn't getting any better :(

Dude keep this in your mind, that placement could change your life, don't think about the sum of all your tasks ahead, just prioritise each task and concentrate on them individually, this is a weired analogy but still, in my Kitchen I get my KP's to peel boxes of Garlic cloves, they hate it :D, they moan saying it's impossible its toooooo much, I say to them, take a bunch with both hands and concentrate on them, hide the rest away until your finished, and then go and take another bunch, this way you only have a hill to climb each time, and not a mountain, you can get through it dude, just do it, be methodical, if you don't give it your all and you fail your always be kicking yourself wondering if you could've done it if you'd put more effort in, just do it, even if you have no positivity left just put your chin up and fight it.
 
Thanks man. I trying to prioritise my tasks and I'm uni first thing tomorrow morning. It really does seem impossible. It's just that I had my eyes on a first but seems like i'm going to have settle on just a pass on certain modules and a first in others.

I've sacrificed so much as I've had bigger problems outside of university. I've learnt to never give up. However, I honestly do feel like my brain is going to give up soon :(

Not sure how helpful this will be but try typing everything you need to do and how long each should take...we could help set out mini-deadlines and whatever? :)

I didn't realise you had 5 to do, that's really harsh :(.

Sorry for not being particular chatty on MSN at the moment. Even though my work-load is relatively easy compared to yours it's just draining.

That would be helpful, already have it on my whiteboard but lets see how this works out.

Tomorrow - A full blown ATM system using various techniques of polymorphism. Group effort and we all royally fail at C++. Going into Uni to work on it all day.
Tuesday - A script developed in unix that does intelligent error checking and a file renaming system. I've done most of the error checking got a problems but the renaming is very difficult. Then have a 1500W essay to do on explaining why shell scripting rocks etc. I've spent a stupid amount of hours on this and I'm only like 40-50% done! :eek:
Wednesday - Advance features on my Java chatroom, worth a whopping 60% of the marks and I haven't even started this :eek:
Friday - A really long SQL assignment, we've done about 50% of this and my mate is working with me on this.
7th May - A mashup, I've already made great progress on this, my world map has been implemented. I have to make it dynamic and add a few other things - 50% done.

I pulled in a sickie at work today morning, I'm going to give this my best shot.

Thanks for the support guys and don't worry about it Andrew :)

I'm in my 2nd year, about to start my 3rd. :p

I'm doing my dissertation proposal, we do it in our 2nd year.


:(

I've got a presentation to do for Monday, I don't want to do it though?
I'm feeling like I don't care about my work anymore, I just want to get out of it all. Motivation has dropped to zero.

I can't kick myself, or find anyone to kick me into doing anything.

oh right, well i'll probably bump into you next year then :p thought you were in your final now

I pretty much lost my job doing that this morning, as I have a really important presentation tomorrow.

Ok so my time keeping wasnt good, but I'd rather lose the job than a chunk of marks from my degree.

S'ok though, I think I've got a new one for next term already.
 
Try to resolve this with your employer so you can get a reference!

My manager called me up and I couldn't believe how nice she was about it, she said just chillax and take care you lazy bum :D

On the down side, I felt like hanging myself at uni, c++ is just bent :(

I don't think we'll be doing very good but should get a pass I hope!

I might make a start on Java, I'm so close to giving up but I can't, not yet anyways.

Congrats, that's what I'm talking about!! :D

You must be really chuffed! I've decided to call it a night and sleep early. Up for 7 and have an exam based leccy tmrw. I'm REALLY worried about Unix though :(
 
I'm wondering if it matters whether I get a reference from them or not.

I've worked for ASDA for nearly 3 years, I've still got my original seasonal job at home, during easter, summer and xmas. I've just quit my opposite seasonal one where I work whilst I'm at uni.

I reckon I could still get a reference from my home store.

I hope anyway!
 
I am, was getting to irritated, and now it's over...I admit the game is about 3/4 finished, but I have the main stuff they want, I've explained it in my report and I'll explain it in my presentation on Tuesday.

If I'd had Monday I'd have tried to get it done properly, but due to having an interview sprung on me for tomorrow I had to 'finish' it tonight.

Up for a long one tonight trying to document a load of my dissertation. Hand in is on tuesday and I'm only 20% of the way there with the writing stuff. *cry*
