[Bunnylingus]

Haud on, I'll play the finding game.

[Jen-Y]

great! im off to work in a min but ill check back when i get home, cheers

[Bunnylingus]

Nooo worries.

The ones I used weren't too obvious when I searched for them anyways.

I find that checking footnotes and bibliographies of relevant books/articles is pretty useful when you're trying to find your way around a topic and you're not sure which titles are prominent in that field or relevant to your research.

Another day in uni, im just gonna stay here until i either get a giant chunk done, or die of a stress related illness.

current HILARIOUS word count : 165

Who else is doing one, what's yours on, and are you too, nearing a nervous breakdown?

I'm doing sociology and mine is about youth culture and death metal/extreme music. I'm still narrowing it down, should get a proper title sorted by next week.

I thought you were doing it on sex workers? Or was that something else?

I loved writing my dissertation. It was on a pure bullshit kid on topic, but it meant I got to watch a lot of porn, good times.

[Bunnylingus]

It was an essay I was doing

[Marine_Mushroom]

Yuk- dissertation? Still haven't sorted out ma title...think it's either gonna be some sort of algae thing or would love to do it on a climate change impacts/mitigation type thing....I dunno, got to go and talk to folk about it tomorrow but really - I cannae be arsed!

Just worried I'll do me usual and have a mad rush before it's due in September- EEEK!!

Good luck though

[Bunnylingus]

Mine's going quite well now - death metal fans are a nice, intelligent bunch.

[L@ur@]

[Red Pepper]

Argh, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing for mine. I know what I want to do, but I don't know how to set up all my stimuli and stuff on the software I need to use. My supervisor is just telling me to go and do it. I don't arsing well know how. I haven't really looked into it much mind you. Why am I doing a Masters again? D'oh.

[Withnail]

I was doing my Masters thesis on Perceptions and framing of the deserving and undeserving poor in the British media 1997-2007, but since i've got another go at it, i'm going to do it on The Transformational power of the internet in politics. This will hopefully land me a job at Blue State Digital one day...

[Rowsbette]

My advisor said mine was a big mess so I started a completely new one, which I *think* looks a bit better.

7800 words so far.

[Bunnylingus]

Think I've got about 3000.

Want another 2000 done today - Mine only has to be 10 - 12000, so I reckon I can get my first draft done by Friday, if I stop going out straight from uni having forgotten about dinner and ending up somewhere ridiculous.

[Bunnylingus]

Am I the only one really, really not coping?

I have 2 weeks. And I just spent half a lecture and 20 minutes in a toilet greetin.

Thankfully, my supervisors in at 2, soI'm gonna go cry at him and see if he can calm me down.

ARGH.
