    Good morning @Shaunie, @independent_, @Dandelion, @Dancer, and @Zay. How are we all today? :3

    @Dandelion

    I am well thanks. Sorry to hear you are feeling tired. I believe in you though. I know you can get back on track! How much work have you currently got to do? :3

    @independent_

    Sorry to hear you are feeling exhausted. Did you not sleep well last night? I hope cuddles with your labrador help! :3

    @Dancer

    How was Peppa Pig? I used to love watching that when I was younger! :3

    @Zay

    Good luck with college. You have had a tough break so please try not to be too hard on yourself, this is not a reflection of your efforts or how much you have put in.

    In fact, I think it means you have put lots of effort in to keep trying even though you have faced adversity. You have already completed so much of it in addition to revision. Just a little more to go and you will be on track! :3

    Yeah @Laura_tigger82 I don't think I got to sleep till about 2am because I was watching a programme about police, then my partner woke me up at 7am because he had an alarm set for work. Then he didn't even get up till 8 so why he had his alarm set so early I do not know :lol:

    It might feel like a lot @Dandelion but I know you have definitely got this! When are your dissertation and the 600 words assignment due?

    You could set yourself a goal of X number of words each day. For example, with the 600 words assignment, you could write 200 words a day for 3 days or 100 words a day for 6 days.

    I have a feeling you will speed write though and write like 400/500 words a day! I know you have been writing a lot recently.

    Please remember that we are here for you if you need us and so are Student Minds (https://www.studentminds.org.uk/) =)

    Though, we'll just ignore that I begin the dissertation on Monday (10th!) <3

    Thanks @Laura_tigger82, 600 words is now 300 words, helped by the fact that I planned it pretty well before I started writing it, so hoping to get that done today. It's not due in till the 28th, but I like to be prepared. My final draft of my diss is due in end of feb, but I've only written my introduction so far, but im hoping after Christmas we'll actually receive all of the data so I get started with the results and stuff.

    @independent_

    Oh no, make sure you rest today! :3

    @Dandelion

    Oh no! If you know what the articles are called though, you can search for them through Google Scholar or Google more generally (by typing in free PDF) :3

    @Zay

    I am really proud of you for being able to recognise the hurdles you went through but that you persisted when times got tough. It will pay off! Just keep going :3

    @Jellyelephant

    Yay! I'm so glad to hear you have finally managed to get an appointment :3

    Good morning @Dandelion. I am good thank you. How are you today? It sounds like you have been really productive indeed! :3

    What makes you think you don't have the people skills for nursing? I think you would be fabulous if that's what you want to do! <3

    @Jellyelephant I just noticed that you said you were making curry. What curry is it? I've tried Katsu Curry Fridge Raiders which were really nice.

    Morning, How is everyone?
    Colly was soo dead, ended up sleeping in politics, couldn't keep my eyes open
    And apparently teachers might go on strike next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and that was when my mocks were meant to happen, lol all the revision I've done gone to waste..

    If teachers go on strike then I get out of Maths! :)

    I think you will do really well with your speaking exam @dancer. Just make sure you give it as much determination as you give to everything else! If we can do anything to support you with this, please let us know. Due to having autism, speaking exams and presentations have never been my favourite either! :3
