Foreign Perspectives

That’s t reaction of a lot of people when faced with a longish assignment but usually they’re not so bad once you get started into them. From my point of view, I reckon that if I was able to write a 3000 word assignment in Spanish then one in English must be doable.

The key is to plan it out at the outset and then proceed to tick off the sections as you work through your plan. That way it doesn’t seem nearly so large as a straight 3000 words would be.

Anyway, at the moment I’m plugging away with the EMA for the summer school. The results section is taking ages to do as that involves pulling together a number of charts, tables and illustrations that were collected during the week. Moreover, we need to include work from other groups which we didn’t get a chance to look at directly during the week: that’ll be the hardest part I think as it’s always much easier to write about your own work.

Alongside that I need to get the experiment done and written up for the main biology course. I looked over that on Friday and have to collect a couple more items before I can start on that but hopefully will have made some progress during the course of the week. Doing two assignments in parallel is quite hard going but all being well I’ll have made a decent amount of progress on both by this time next week.
