over the easter break I have actually considered leaving my course because I can't deal with stress and instead just pretend the piling work doesn't exist. I told my mum about it tonight and it has been a hellish experience, but it seems I have come out of it with the decision to at least try and finish the course.

@ellistia Hey, I'm super behind too. I have a piece of work due in before Easter hols finish and I haven't started it yet! I think being stressed and behind on work is just a part of the overall experience.

@scoot I have an assignment due in 11 hours that I haven't started, but thats partly because I just wasn't working on it because I was like "I quit". Fortunately I can submit it up to a week late and it'll be capped at 40%, and I think because of this whole thing I will have to do that for another assignment as well, but it should be alright I think. Also my second year has been a lot more painful overall than first year. Hopefully yours won't be as you seem to be able to sort your priorities better than me.

@ellistia Is it a complicated assignment? Also my priorities of late have been "I'd rather play Dreamcast", so I dunno how much better I have it to be honest. Being capped at 40% is pretty bad, but I guess it's better than 0%. I'm still only a first year so maybe I just have it easy, hence still having enthusiasm

@scoot They're nothing I'm not capable of, its just other stuff I can't really explain stopping me from doing them to my full potential. And to be honest I haven't been getting much better than 40% in my assignments this year anyway so it won't make much of a difference. My enthusiasm has definitely dropped since the start of second year, and thinking about it now, one of the main reasons for that is probably living at home rather than on campus, i.e. the completely wrong environment, on top of assignments piling up much more violently than first year.
