Just taking a quick break from my essay right now - managed to get to 1,200 words now, so I'm doing alright I think...planning on going majorly over, then going back and cutting all the junk out.

Did recycling today - 'tis harder now, we had to do C block, which is normally really full anyway. Was fuller because we didn't manage to do the recycling last week, and because of the building going on we couldn't get to the bins from the back, so had to walk all the way around to the front. Because all of the boxes were overflowing we basically had to do double the usual work. Fun!

Sent Jess off early and did the last box by myself, because she had to meet a friend to get help with her homework (which was due in at 12:30 - and this was 11 by the time she went!! Silly girl...).

Then I came back here and did my Politics homework really quickly to get it out of the way - I've done the introduction, posted it, and emailed my group members, telling them that's all I can do this week, so they'll have to put it all together like I normally do. Feel a bit mean for putting it so bluntly, but if I didn't say that I just know I'd end up doing it all again, which is just stupid - I'm crap at these Politics presentations, so I don't get why they keep semi-relying on me (basically they just don't get assertive and say they'll do it, so I end up doing it because I can't be arsed to f*** around with it all)!

I did say they could email me if they find they really struggle, and if they have any problems with the part that I wrote, but I'm really hoping they don't.

Also rang my dad and told him how worried we were all getting because we don't have a house still - because I'd just been talking to Jess about it over recycling, and told her how ansty Steph and Lianne were getting...and myself. I've been trying to be positive with the other two, but with Jess I just told her straight that I'm worried about how little time we have left - probably made her feel even more worried, but sometimes I think she's got her feet on the ground more than Steph and Lianne, and I know she's not going to get in a tizzy if I tell her the truth.

Anyway, good thing I rang him, because he wasn't planning on ringing me and updating me!

Basically we have four houses to look round this saturday now - I asked him if he wanted me to look round any, and said I'd only be able to do this weekend, and it turns out he was thinking about arranging to look round them this weekend himself. Without telling me! So I asked if I could come along and look at them with him. ^_^ Yay! At least I have something to tell them all now, even if it's just that we're going to view some - I think always just saying that my dad's out of the country was beginning to scare them, and I can see why, but he is very busy - he's in a different country again from tuesday onwards this week - so it's nice to show them that he is actually doing something towards getting us a house.

...I only have one chocolate left from the box of Roses Bunny left me. Oops. @_@

I tend to snack when I'm essaying - anything within easy reach is often a casualty!

Okay, I'm gonna go and check my emails, and then I'm going to do more essay. I'm determined to do as much as I can today, though it probably won't get finished - need more books, and it'll take me ages to sort out what parts of the essay are any good, and then shape it...*sigh* My work is never done!

I think I'll end up killing myself by the time my third year gets here!

...well, maybe nothing that dramatic - but I think I'll definitely have a nervous breakdown. I'm already half there!

On my second mini break and chomping through a bowl of cheerios - my last bowl! Need to get more food tomorrow, because I'm running out...

Anyway, my essay, is kind of working out. :s

Started sorting out what I've done so far - organising the info so it flows a bit, and also making sure I link it back to the original question, and I'm not just throwing in as much info as I can (so blatantly what I was doing). And sure, it looks purty with my mini sub-headings in their own little boxes, but it's also shown me that content-wise I don't actually have anything really substantial. So I've just yanked my A level folder out and am looking for my Marx stuff in there, to see what other points I can throw in - but then I'll need to reference it, which could be a bit of a problem.

Another sticking point at the mo is religion. For obvious reasons that's where I've been focusing my essay (it's on ideology - c'mon!), but I really do need to put different things in...I'm just drawing a blank as to what!

Hopefully my old notes will trigger something in my brain, but at the moment I doubt it, given my brain's turned to mush.
