Tutor meeting

I had the dreaded tutor meeting today. Half an hour of talking about my dissertation. I almost cried! I don’t even know that it was very helpful. I’m still not really sure what I am supposed to be doing. By the end of the meeting I had decided a plan. The plan was to drink lots of wine and do lots of work. So far I have managed three glasses of wine, 2 chocolate digestives, and an old episode of wheel of fortune on sky. No work though. Probably not the best idea I have ever had!

Some important things my tutor said include…. “don’t aim to high, because then you might feel too pressurised”…… “little and often”….. and remember to have a least a few days off from doing work over christmas. Cos I didn’t already know that?!

 The plan for the next week is to do lots of work toward my assignment, a little bit of work to earn some money, and then to go home to chillax over christmas, while cramming in a load of uni work because its due in really really really soon! A month and a half isn’t long enough to write my whole dissertation! Arghhhh!!

First post

Well…. this is my first post. I dont really know why I am doing this blog. Maybe to distract myself from all the work I have to do for uni. I’m in my final year of my OT course, 6 months away from being qualified, which is a very scary thought! Hopefully this blog won’t put any one off being a student or an OT student though! OT is a great job. You might get some of those vibes from this blog, but then again you probably won’t!

At the moment I am supposed to be working on 2 assignments. First one is my dissertation, 6000 words on something of my choice (spinal injuries) due in february. The second one 4500 words on paediatrics due mid January. Since September I have managed to write a total of 800 words. Impressive….. not! I’m really starting to panic, and really need some motivation, which is why I have arranged a tutor meeting tomorrow. So I’m gonna have to explain to my tutor why I am so far behind, which is due to my lazyness, and not having a clue what I’m supposed to be doing. Tomorrow probably won’t be a good day!

Anyway, if anyone has any motivating words, or anything they could add to my SCI / paediatric assignments, then feel free to comment and help me out!
