AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
I'd say that's better but it's not really. 3 deadlines in ten days is just a bit too much, especially when two of them are so dull and dry that you end up ready to gouge out your own eyes. It's so difficult to feel like I'm getting anywhere at the moment, but I suppose everyone else on my course is feeling the same, even the clever ones. We had the same situation last semester, and it was brought up in the school forum, but no-one listened. The lecturers don't communicate between modules and we still don't have any of our coursework back at all. A lot of the work I'm having to do at the moment is really, really repetitive, with some of it being almost exactly the same as something we've already done. I just find it so hard to motivate myself and focus when there is no effort being made by my lecturers to keep our course fresh and interesting so instead of doing my work, even though I want to get it out of the way, I'm gorging on junk food and cans of relentless and catching up on TV shows that I've never even paid much attention to before. I know there are certain things that we have to do in our course to get a BPS accreditation at the end of it, but so do other universities and the majority of their stuff seems a lot less dry. I know that it all comes down to what your lecturers actually research and what not, but seriously, only having one or two really interesting tutorials, and one semi-decent bit of coursework in an entire year isn't going to inspire students to continue to work hard and really pursue psychology outwith the safe bubble of university life.
I suppose I'm just having a rant because I'm stressed and unmotivated (and I am friends with the Dean of Psychology on Facebook and I'm not sure how he would take my ranting if he saw it). End of rant :)
