--- Quote from: K888 on August 26, 2017, 10:14:33 pm ---When I typed essays, I found it hard to start at the start and work fully through from start to finish. So I'd write my topic sentences, then do a bit of paragraph 1, then maybe some of 3, etc, etc. until all was finally finished :P And I find that I do this to a degree at uni still!
I found it much easier to handwrite, personally - it let the creative juices flow better, I guess haha. I found that when we transitioned into writing essays in class for SACs, I started getting so much better at refining things and writing quickly and concisely - I guess, I always subconsciously knew my direction when I was writing? So maybe, if you're really struggling, try to handwrite? Even if you end up scribbling out heaps of stuff, it doesn't have to be super neat :)
Plus, if you've got writer's block - don't be afraid to delete some sentences and start again!
Hope it all works out for you, fantasticbeasts! Let us know how it goes :D

i'm so annoying with writing, because if i try to write, i don't like moving on to something if it isn't finished. applies to essays as well, i don't like writing plans because i know everything is unfinished 😅 i'm a huge fan of handwriting as well (@ computer people how do you do it) but for this, i'm constantly changing things, so i'm starting typing first, then moving to writing. my plan for the story was totally handwritten though, couldn't have done it typed.
will definitely keep you updated!!
ps. loving your uni journal thread! it's interesting to read about a totally different field from what i'm interested in :-)

I feel this so much. I could never plan for anything! Very envious of the people that can do it really well.
I really wish I could handwrite more at uni, but honestly, we just cover waaaaay too much content in lectures for it to be feasible, and I don't trust myself to go back over everything when I go home.
Plus, after a semester of typing the majority of things, my handwriting speed and endurance has severely diminished...which is a shame, given how much I could write in high school haha. Appreciate it while it lasts!

Thank you! Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to hear about more :D I'm trying to make sure I start explaining the things I do at uni to give people a better idea of what I do :)
You've probably mentioned it before...but what are you interested in?

aw that kinda sucks :-( there are subjects where there's too much content to cover, and not enough time to write. how much could you write in high school, say in 45 minutes? and yea for sure, will keep handwriting handy as long as i can :-)
sounds good hahahah would love to know more about physio! i know heaps of people who want to do it, or something health related so it sounds like a growing industry (is it?) science was never something that was strictly My Thing because i never had a specific interest in it.
in uni, i want to do a double degree, so international studies and media (pr/advertising), so something very current issue-y. :-) don't know the exact job/career path though, that'll be another journey!

helloooo friends!
today was a very unproductive day - i tried to write my creative, but words aren't flowing out which is so bloody annoying because i have everything planned out, plot, lines here and there, but nothing is working. i'm aiming to finish a rough draft tonight, which should be submitted. i wasn't expecting the process to take so long so now i've had to move a lot of my other hand-in stuff across to other days this week, which is kind of disappointing because i planned one night off, but that's not happening anymore.
it felt like i had 25512349 reminders that the hsc starts in 50 days. it's quite surreal because at the beginning of the year my only aim was to get 3rd in modern (because i was doing shit all of last year) and finish the school year without dropping out, but the journey is almost over because the beginning of the year feels like so long ago.
after asking mum to buy whiteboard markers, she finally did it today, so i'm writing reminders all over my mirror on things that i need to remember for the hsc, so i currently have a timeline for the weimar republic, and there should be more stuff coming when i feel like i need to write it down.
also, i finished season 5 of suits and ever since then nothing has been streaming properly, which should be a sign to get to work? who knows. looking forward to this week because it's going to be a relatively chill one (minus all the hand ins this week :-)))))) ) and i have a pupil free day on friday, so that's a bit more time to study, aaaaand formal is coming up and i haven't done anything for it (dress, shoes? nope. booked hair and makeup? nope), because i procrastinate for everything.
3 more weeks to go!!!!!!!
love,

UGH I feel you! If I have x y and z to do and one of them is English, it's pretty much guaranteed to be the last and longest thing that has to be done ._.
WOOT go whiteboard markers! they're the reason I can memorise formulas
you know it is I've got my dress and shoes so far, but haven't booked appointments either
THREE WEEKS?!
