Eating breakfast and feeling tired, I think I've overslept.

Overslept???? It's only 9.30!

I'm scrolling through some useless posts and eating a cake

Phoning friends to see about GCSE celebrations, talking on MSN, thinking I need some breakfast and worrying about results day

Yeah, but if I sleep for more than around 8 and a half hours, I feel really tired. (Plus I woke up at 7:30 ). Actually, I didn't oversleep...hmmm, but I still feel tired...

I agree with darthdwad about oversleeping!

I'm playing my flute.

Playing guitar badly and printing off pages and pages of useless economics coursework info!

Waiting for hubby to finish washing up so I can get to the piano (it's in the kitchen).
Just time for Hanon then before students arrive for lesson.

Get practising clarinet!!

I will, flute first!!!!!

I am trying to motivate myself to do some more History work.

I'll give you free choc toffee cake in the cafe if you do.......
(lol i'll probably give you it anyway )

Thinking about doing my Romeo and Juliet coursework....argh....

Doing anything except the work Im supposed to be doing. Got one assignment left (well really 2 but kinda done most of the other one) and just have no motivation or concentration.
I have already gone round my room making a giant blu-tack ball from random stuff on walls Ive taken down in preparation for moving house (at the end of september!), made a cup of green tea, looked at rubbish on the internet, taken out the recycling....ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT I NEED TO DO! You know how it is!

Not much, other than talking on msn...

Indeed. I'm procrastinating from doing some of my A2 psychology coursework.

I've done quite a bit now. Just stopped for a break.

Me too. Our recycling bin has disappeared!

SNAP!!!

This may sound like an odd question but why have you got history work to do if you've finished all your GCSEs and presumably haven't started any A-levels yet? I'm guessing it's not for fun if you're struggling to find motivation !

Yeah it is summer, forget about A-level work!!

I've jsut dropped Appassionata back at the station.

I might play some clarinet - I don't know what is wrong with me!

well I'm not playing flute anymore, I'm cutting photos!

I've just written a to-do list:
1. Do more History pre A Level work
2. Tidy bedroom
3. Do another session of flute practice
4. Sort out school stuff
5. Sort out GCSE celebration plans

Because our school set us pre A Level summer work to do. Grr. I got given the most for History, although it is interesting.

OK, you're organised!! I'm nowhere near it. I've got loads to do. Perhaps I should make a list too!! OK, here's mine...

1. Finish Romeo and Juliet Coursework
2. Have a shower
3. Tidy bedroom
4. Practice I Giorni for the Forum Users' concert
5. Prepare to do science Coursework

Oooh people with lists! I love lists!!

Except I haven't needd one for a while, coz it's been

get up
have a shower
get dressed
eat breakfast
work
come home
sleep

for about a week now!

I can't be bothered to do anything, I pulled a muscle playing the piano (can you belive that?). So my typing is a little slower, than usual. (It's my index finger). I can't play much piano, and I can forget about the guitar for a while.

Maybe I should do a list of what I have done:
1. Phoned 2 friends about GCSE celebration
2. Did some History work
3. Did some ironing/putting out washing
4. Fed fish

What are you gonna do to celebrate?

Your school seems to be overworking you a bit! Quite a lot of schools manage without doing that! Does the school you're at only allow people into the sixth form if they went to the pre-16 school as well or do they send out the work to other people too? Don't let them stress you too much with too much work!

ooh elmo ive done a practice list!

You'll be so proud!! hehehehe

Trying to download a lecture about Parkinson's Disease, encouraging the cat to drink something (the vet says he's dehydrated...)and replying to my sister's email. Ooh, and drinking a cup of tea I've just been brought. Lovely.

How DO you play flute and type on the forums? Isn't it a two-handed job?

SNAP!!!!

Though i don't think i've pulled mine, it just really hurts, my shoulder does as well...and i have blisters on my fingers from playing guitar yesterday!(is it meant to be painful??!

I'm procrastinating over History work as well... sounds like I'm not as good as Nicki at making myself do my work!

What is your History on. Well I have to do mine for 2nd September

I might go and get my sax and record something

Im now listening to every single Joe Hisaishi piece i have and deciding which to play next!

It's an essay about the effects of Stalin's policies on the Soviet Union. I was off school for most of the topic so it's taking forever to get my head round it!

Can't help you, although I did do the Cold War if that is of any help at all.

aaaa--chooooo

bless me

Hehehehe!!

afternoon all. Well since putting the rubbish and recycling out this morning, I managed to spend a total of half an hour on my uni work. I really have a MAJOR problem with my concentration and motivation. I keep finding other useless things to do.
Any ideas to keep me focussed??

Oooh get you super organised lot with your lists!

Heres mine then!
To do:
- Stop procrastinating with brownie food quantities and get it done.
- Stop procrastinating from psychology coursework
- Get the washing in
- Tidy room
- Flute practice

Achieved today:
- Piano practice
- Collected stuff from mums uni with her.

I'd help with Brownies if it would let me talk to you!

Well my msn is saying you're offline.

I'm on and receiving your nudges but it won't let me send back!

And no need to nudge that often!!!!!

Mwah ha haaaaaaaaaaa

I can send you stuff but you can't send me stuff.

[/power trip]

Now playing my flute and talking on MSN.

I'm getting annoyed

Telling people that Snape is a good guy and playing my violin.

I'm celebrating (with a glass of port - what else?!) the fact that I've finished wallpapering my music room and that it is well on the way now to looking a lot better than it did before.

The last time it was decorated was about 17 years ago, so wallpaper and carpets were definitely looking the worse for wear! I've now got rid of the old carpet (vast piles were under it of that horrid yellowy-greeny dust when the foam underlays disintegate - yuk, what a mess! ), spruced up all the paintwork and done all the papering, which was a marathon task even though the room's quite small, because none of the walls are smooth and none of the corners are straight!

Tomorrow I'm putting the border round the top, and helping my husband with the shelves he's making for me, and hopefully putting a few things back on the walls (mirror, pictures) to make it look more homely again. The next drama is going to be with the new carpet - will they be able to fit it in time before the new term begins..........?
