Dissertation Station

As many other University students at the moment, I find myself at Dissertation station.

The dissertation itself is a sign that the end of the degree is coming to an end but it also signals the start of a stressful year window.

This is the second time that I have been in this position, I am currently a Postgraduate.

I find that there are general stages that all students will go through - they are the following.

Confusion - What am I going to pick as a subject? How do these other people already know what they are doing? Whats wrong with me?

Excitement - When one picks a subject they actually like, except it will need major tweaking and will probably change a hell of a lot

Relief - when your tutor helps you and makes a plan - that you won't stick to

Break - normally lasts a couple of months

Panic - when someone asks you how you are doing - or get called in by your tutor

Again another break

Panic - when the deadline gets closer

Acceptance - that its not going to get done

Regret - for the previous mentioned steps

Power rush - to finish for the dead line

Relief - that its over.

There are also a lot of naps in there that can be inserted in any place.

I'm currently at a panic stage - yet through procrastination I find my new blog is taking my attention at the moment.
