You requested me to write what ever was going on in my head, well at the moment:
Life - Ever thought about what you hoped to acheive in it ?? :-?
this seems to be a recurring theme in my head.

I too think a lot about what I hope to achieve in life. Don't you sometimes feel that your life will have been worthless or useless if you don't fulfil your major ambition (if you have one)? I know as a Christian you're supposed to feel satisfied and complete in the knowledge that you're going to heaven, but there are certain things that I feel I HAVE to do in order for my life to have been of any importance at all.

I sort of assume most of my ambitions are God-given, which means I'm allowed to persue them vigorously
What things would you like to achieve?

Work! Arrrggghhh!
It's Monday morning, I only have two weeks left at work before returning to the hardships of a student life (final year) and half the money I have become accustomed to over the past 13 months.
To make it worse, I have to finish my final report before then, which is taking longer than I previously thought because the scope keeps changing, Finish, no, START my dissertation, construct a portfolio for my LCGI Award, get my washing done as I no longer have a washing machine, move out (back to Newcastle), pass my degree, get a job, get clear of my debts, get married (?), have children (?), contribute enough to a pension so I don't have to sell my left kidney to retire comfortably and organise my funeral (cremation I think)...
*D4rk|y takes a deep breath
Okay not all that has to be done today - but at least I now have a To-do list

Terrible day today. Mucho stress and a mate having a bad time.
Definitely a cremation for me, after organ donation.
Also quite embarrassed because I really like Sophie Ellis Bexter and she's pop.
I'm sure it'll pass.

I don't think I can do any of the things on your list.
Especially getting married or having kids.
Not in the next 4 days anyway!!!!!

That kind of depends what your dissertation is about.
I did Theatre Studies degree so not too helpful in the general way of things but if can be of any use...!

My diss is on the modelling of heat transfer and fouling factors on a new technology, world scale chemicals plant. or something like that, I haven't fixed the title yet
I have made simple models in Excel and then written Visual Basic macros to link Excel to heat exchanger design programs, online plant data and physical property simulation packages.

Don't think I can be of any help whatsoever with that!
My diss. was about the use of drama across the curriculum in secondary schools. Not very relevant!

I'm averaging a 2:1 at the moment but that is only 30% of my overall mark. This years assessment counts for 20% and then next year (Starting this coming September) counts for the remaining 50%!!!

Doesn't sound like you are doing too badly!
But I see what you meant when you said you had been procrastinating.
I am doing a lot of that too.
Not helped by the fact that my bedroom is overrun with lost property from camp - people keep emailing me about the things they have lost but they aren't the things I have!
And what I really should be doing is looking for a job...

Last day at work... Just need to bind my reports and sort out my files. Only one more night left in Hull. My parents come up tonight to help me pack and then move up to Newcastle tomorrow morning.
Then it's back home for a bit, Brackley, and up(down) to London to see my girlie.
Share price is coming back up, 530.5 when I last checked, which is good news. I may get a Laptop after all...
