Yesterday I had my final tutorial for trimester 1. All that remains to do now are my final assignments, and then I’m officially halfway through my BA.
So today I’m spending roughly 6 hours working on one of my essays, which is due on the 13th of June. The essay draft is over 2,500 words long, and the essay is supposed to be between 2,000 and 2,500 words, so I feel like I’ve got the hang of this.
At some point this afternoon/evening I’m catching the train to Upper Hutt to spend the weekend with Nathan at his mum’s place. Of course I’ll be bringing my notebook and stuff with me, but I suspect that might be more just so that I can feel good about myself…
Anyway, I’ve still got two more essays to write, and one of them has to be between 2,000 and 2,500 words, and the other has to be between 2,500 and 2,800 words. I haven’t started writing those two yet, and they’re due on the 14th and 16th of June. I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but I’m sure it’ll involve copious amounts of coffee, wine, and tears. And swearing.
I do, however, have the best motivation possible. Nathan. He’s got a week off work after his course finishes next Friday, and he’ll be in the Wellington/Upper Hutt area for that week, catching up with his mates, seeing his mum, and spending time with me. Of course I want to be able to spend as much time with him as possible, and that motivates me to work my butt off before his course finishes, so that I won’t have to do (too many) all-nighters when he’s free. Also, that’s the week before I go back to Norway for three weeks, so it better be good.
I hope everyone understands that this blog entry is just me procrastinating. I want the time to fly by – the sooner I get to go and see Nathan, the better – but at the same time I die a little bit every time I cast a glance at the clock and realise that another hour has gone by, and I’ve only written 300 words on the proper version of my essay. Better get back to it, eh.
