Work has been crazy busy the past week and it sucks that I’m too mentally tired when I get home to study in the evening. I have a backlog of chapters and articles to read but I think everything will have to wait until the weekend.
#barely a minute’s break at work every day since last Monday#honestly exhausting#dare I say the worst is over though?#might be

Still feeling the essay fatigue. Submitted one on Sunday (19th) and the next is due on the 5th Feb. I’ve almost finished it, just got to make minor edits. Not feeling this one, so not expecting a high mark. It’s not worth much though, so it’s better to focus my energy on the weightier assessments.
#we also have to give a rough idea of what we’re doing our longer research project on my mid March!#even though the proposal isn’t due until June!#I have an idea of what I want to do#but won’t reach out to a tutor before I’ve doing a bit more research

Halfway through writing my next essay (it’s only 1,500 words). Also doing research for the essay due after that. Feeling a bit of essay fatigue right now…
#we have an essay due every month until June#thankfully they’re shorter ones#then a longer 4500 word essay due in Sept

Despite being now fully in the throes of a cold, I am on a ROLL with this essay.
#cannot believe how easily the introduction came to me#the intro is usually one of the last things I write and I typically really struggle with it#but I managed to bang this one out within like 10 mins#madness

Somehow managed to write another ~500 words today, which puts me at 2000/3000 words for this essay. Feeling good about it!

Somehow managed to write 500+ words today and came up with TWO 🔥 sentences.
#ALL sentences are painstakingly crafted#BUT you know when you construct a sentence that’s just *chef’s kiss*#happened twice today#which is amazing considering I usually only have one or two such sentences in any given essay in TOTAL#werk

First day back at work after the festive break. Not much to do, so I want to work on my essay but the brain fog is real. Need to shift gears in my brain and try and re-engage in the academic mindset.

Got 78% for my first essay. The one I felt terrible about. WHAT is going on 😂
#literally could not believe my eyes when I saw 78#honestly I thought I’d be lucky to get a mark in the low 60s#cheers to that!

When you’ve read the same paragraph 4 times and are still not taking anything in it’s time to call it a day.

Settled on an initial title for my second essay of “How does the use of mesmerism in Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘The Parasite’ challenge Victorian views on manliness?”
Started it today but only got as far as 125 words before deciding to leave it because I’m too tired.
#at least this is coming much easier than the first essay#trying to write an essay on 2 hrs sleep is not it#still#125/3000 words is a start

Things at work are winding down before Christmas and I haven’t had much to do so far this week, so I’ve managed to get through 4 papers a day.
#woo productivity#if I can’t be productive in my actual job I guess I’ll use up my 8 hr workday being productive for my masters

Got a meeting with my tutor this afternoon to discuss my idea for the second essay. Let’s pray that it’s viable, because I’ve already done a lot of research and note-taking on this topic.

Somehow gotten to the point where I’m feeling on top of things. Two more weeks of term left and then that’s the densest block of the whole two years done. I have well-formed ideas (and a lot of notes) for my next two assignments that are due in late Jan and early Feb, so I can chill about those.
Feeling good now 🙏🏼
#mad but kinda good that they made the very first term the hardest#also most of the assessments for the whole course are concentrated in the first year#so after March I’m basically in chill mode until the end of the course in Sept 2026#can start to have some real fun

Submitted the first essay on Tuesday. Was definitely not my best work, am expecting perhaps a low-to-mid merit for it. I’ve got two ideas so far for the second, longer essay due towards the end of Jan, so will see how that goes…
#so glad to get that essay done and out the way#writing every sentence was like drawing blood#managed to cobble it together in a week though#so at least I can do it under pressure#lol

Feel overwhelmed by this first essay. I’ve got my essay plan but actually writing the thing proper is proving very difficult. I want to at least write the first sentence tonight, but the words are not coming.
#I know this is not gonna be a good essay#I’m putting way too much pressure on myself to do well in a masters that I’m literally doing just for fun#it won’t affect anything other than my ego if I get low grades

It’s Saturday and I’ve done 8 hrs studying today. Managed to put together a draft essay plan to get brief feedback on and got a load of reading + writing up done.
#and went to the gym and did some shopping and got in an episode on Bridgerton#queen of productivity
