Written half of the essay, but I think I’m gonna have to re-write once I’ve got a full draft because I’m struggling with writing it like a magazine/blog article.
#I defo think it’s too academic#but I’m not sure how properly get my ideas across without using a bit of technical#language#y’know

With my archive report handed in, I can now focus for the next month exclusively on grave-robbing and the illegal 19th century cadaver trade. Death, destruction and misery!

Archive report submitted 💪🏼 Finally I can focus on the public writing assessment.
#thinking of doing it on the Victorian cadaver trade#and the working class anxiety about the black market commodification of corpses

Finalised my archive report. Will give it a final read tomorrow and submit!

Had a couple hours break and did some more work on my essay. Finally got it into a shape I’m vaguely happy with (and finished the bloody referencing). Then sent an email to a tutor about the next assessment. It’s only 3pm and I’m exhausted!

Spent 3 hrs working on my essay and formatting references. My brain is dead.
#referencing has to be the worst part of academic writing#it’s so unbelievably tedious#I’m so done with it!#my footnotes are absolute mess for this essay

Bought a compilation of Victorian mummy fictions to look into as prep for my Research Project, excited to get stuck into it.

This archival report is such a drag. I can’t seem to write it in an engaging way, because it’s almost entirely analysis with a little bit of historiography and it’s only 1500 words.
#I have very little space to fit a lot of info in so it doesn’t read nicely#not happy with it#got 68 for my lit review#which I’m disappointed with#probably will get less for this report#trying not to let it get to me too much#my grades have been going downhill since the first assessment

Had a eureka moment for my public writing assessment last night, thank god! So ended up listening to an hour long podcast on necroeconomics at 7 this morning 😅
#love it when I suddenly have a good idea and a clear vision#was absolute luck though#the idea is necroeconomics and the Victorian cadaver trade

Wrote 830/1500 words of my archive report now, so feeling nice and on top of this assessment.
#due on the 19th March#feeling okay about this one#probably not excellent stuff but it’s the first archival report I’ve ever written#so doing my best

Started making a rough historical timeline for Britain’s involvement with Egypt and now I’m on the Wikipedia page for naval tactics in the age of sail.
#it makes sense I swear#defeat of French navy by British navy at the Battle of the Nile#British lineup included 1 sloop#look up sloop of war#look up naval battle tactics#arrive at age of sail naval battle tactics#😩

Got 72% for my second essay, so there definitely seems to be an inverse relationship between how well I thought I’ve done and how well I actually do.
#still a first though and this essay was worth more so can’t complain#trying to think about my next 3 assessments at the same time because the due dates are close#nightmare

It’s not even 3pm and my brain is mush. Can’t focus on a single thing. Literally just want to go home!
#honestly don’t know if this is normal or not#if I have a mentally taxing morning#after lunch I literally cannot focus on a single thing#it’s like white noise in my head

Submitted the literature review yesterday, so the next assessment is due on the 19th March. Not too worried about/invested in it, it’s a 1500 word archive report. I’m currently spending more time researching for the longer public writing assessment and summer research project…
#the research project is 5k words#mini thesis kinda#I have an idea but not sure what angle to take#might contact a supervisor soon

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
