Sunloving students guide to writing an essay

1.30 pm- Sunbathe in college garden with friend during lunch break.

2.00 pm- Buy Fruit Smoothy on the way home from college

2.10 pm- Collect all things needed for studying together and put it in the garden- cushion, books, drink, chewing gum, laptop, extension lead, pen, paper, highlighter.

2.50 pm- Sit down and turn on laptop, enjoying the sun, and feeling pleased that an uninterupted 3 hour session is available without even having to get up to get a drink!

3.00 pm- Convince self that it's not raining- it can't be when it's warm and sunny at the same time surely?

3.01 pm- Rapidly move everything inside- starting with anything electrical and ending by picking the washing in.

3.10 pm- Chat to house mate who's just come in and wonders why there's a giant blue cushion in the kitchen.

3.12 pm- Explain to housemate that your meeting today was with the 'external examiner' not with 'the exterminator' as she puts it.

3.20 pm- lug everything needed for studying upstairs and put on desk.

3.40 pm- Oh well.. might as well check people's blogs and emails now.....

    Hi Nikki,

    I'm a friend of Caroline's great idea about assingments now if only i could get to the opening books and word document stage and not blogs and apathy i'd do well. Oh well still three weeks till deadline day and only 7,500 words too write.

    Stuart.
    P.s. Welcome to blog land!
