TheDon, I am in a similar position to you in that I have what seems like an unimaginable amount of final year work to do before the end of April.
Take solace in the fact that you have at least acknowledged the fact that lots of work needs to be done.
Once you get into the habit of some 8 hour days then it will be fine. I think that once you get on a roll, some days you could be knocking out 1000+ words of good quality content without realising it.
I too am incredibly stressed at the thought of uni work right now. I have to do a final year project also involving the coding of a large piece of software. I still have some of this to complete as well as an 80 page report. This however, contains a lot of computing diagrams and tests etc, so isn't as insurmountable as it sounds.
For the past 2 weeks however, I have put down the special cigs and got into a habit whereby I'm in uni every day from relatively early, working through till 10pm or so and chilling for a bit before getting an early night.
It gets easier, trust me. At first I just wanted to do anything but work, but now I can get on with it for hours at a time and really make progress.
You can do it if you accept that change needs to happen in your day to day life. Start a fresh day soon where you tell yourself that this is it. For the next 1.5 months you are going to become some sort of working freak.
I found it easier to just jump straight in at the deep end and start working full out, rather than saying "I'll do 3 hours today, 5 hours the next..."
Don't worry, year in, year out loads of people are in the same boat and pull through to get their dissos completed to a good standard. ____________________ Full Motorbike License - GS500E '95 |

The main problem i'm finding right now is that i'm not sure that my dissertation flows, but I guess that is something I can adjust when it comes to editing. /shrug/
Going into the library at 8.30AM tomrrow and want to have my final chapter planned by the end of the day, ready for typing on saturday, sunday can be dedicated towards my intro and conclusion. ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

Yes and no. Most web sources don't have enough information to cite correctly. Some lack a name of an actual author, some without a date (I had to email the actual author of one document to get a date of publication).
I have used the internet occasionally for background as you say, sometimes you need something laid out in laymans terms. They were quite good for seminars as well, cause at least I could get a foot into a discussion on the Munich agreement for example.
Also you have to consider that web sources can disappear off the face of the earth, due to server issues, or they just get taken down. All published articles will at least be able to be obtained at the British Library. ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

You'll be fine. I had to write two dissertations and whilst my research one took me all year my second (analysis) was written the week of the deadline...
I knew what was going in and what I wanted to say, but hadn't written a word
The thing that took the longest was drawing my diagram/picture things so they were obviously 'Fibonacci'!! ____________________ Avast! Pirates ahoy!

I finsished the bulk on thursday night and then went to Bristol for a night out.
Sat in the library staring at the screen all day when all i had to do was read over/correct it.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
Hope you get there Don ____________________ 99 RS125 --> 02 SV650s --> 03 Speed Four --> 92 RXS100 --> 93 CB400sf --> 01 CB600f Hornet |

Mine's pretty much done, just need to put my code into the appendices and give it a general tweek. Deadline's thursday and the limit is 40 pages + appendices.
I have 40 pages + 12 pages of appendices, I suspect the code will give me another few pages. At 10,176 words at the moment. ____________________ My Flickr |

Could possibly look at how it went from its Jamaican rude boy origins to its current far right/neo-nazi connotations.
Just a thought, it's something i'd quite like to know myself. |
Could look at more how it fragmented later on and the media only concentrated on the Nazi Skrewdriver C18 element and not on the others or tried to tar them all with the same brush, your run of the mill Oi skins, the Beano boys, the clockwork nutters (mostly New Mills/Buxton round here, not singularly racist, just liked fighting), the scooter boy types and the SHARP types (never knew any, the Redskins were hardly my cup of tea, Blitz, Violators, 4 Skins, Business and some Last Resort were. I hated skrewdriver tho some of there songs are singalong catchy as fuck)
A good question is how the fuck Slade started as a skinhead band, turned into some glam teeny bop pop band and then morphed into more mainstream rock. Bizarre.
Q1. Do hard skin count as a skinhead band or is it just a good joke?
Q3. "Pissed my giro up the wall, cos I'm a cunt, a cunt, a cunt, a cunt, a cunt, cunt" These lyrics represent the outcry of skinhead youth in the bleakness of Thatcher's post-industrial British wasteland. Discuss
Q3. A maths/physics question. An NF skinhead with white laces and a BM skin with red laces are both dropped from the top of Blackpool Tower. Which hits the ground first?
(The correct answer to the last question is who cares) |

Hi
IMPORTANT ADVICE
Please back your work up often to a different file names each time top you have a history to go back to. Also backup to onto external storage. Maybe post copies to your parents so when you loose the laptop you do not loose everything.
If you have very large MS word documents they are almost certain to corrupt the day before the work is due.
Regards
