YUCK!

Think that sums up the way I'm feeling right now to be honest. It's that time in my university career which four years ago I never thought I'd reach: DISSERTATION TIME!

Now 10,000 words seems like a breeze when you first pick up your handbook that will guide you through what will probably be the biggest project of your university life, but trust me it's hell! I'm used to writing ridiculously long 3,000 word essays and have been able to churn one out in just 5 hours before and maybe that's the reason why I'm in this annoying position now of having 7 days left and not even a tenth of the way through  

Don't get me wrong, I'm not what you would call a lazy person...I just have a lot of other commitments which throughout the year have led to me putting off this 10,000 word monster as they were classed as "far more important" in my mind (whoops!) Even saying this though, I wouldn't change anything I've done over the past year: I have met far too many amazing people and done so many things I will remember forever to have regrets! University is for so much more than just gaining your degree!

So stressed as I may be (and unfortunately being beaten down with illness too!), I don't think I'd change it. I work much better under pressure anyway. So if you're in the same position: chill. Just think of the ecstacy you will experience when you finally hand over that burden you have slaved away on and worried about for the majority of the year!

So to all you's final year's out there: GOOD LUCK!

Well, best get back to work...it's not going to write itself!!!
