THINGS YOU CAN DO THAT AREN'T YOUR DISSERTATION

Just in case you were struggling for ideas on how to become a mighty procrastinator like yours truly.

As part of third year, we must all face the most heinous, and truly awful beast known as....

THE DISSERTATION.

now it's really not like me absolutely normal for me to bury my head in the sand when things like this come around but even I have been shocked at the amount of things I have found to do instead of making a start on this essay. Fellow fine artists, I'm sure you can sympathise. Unless you're one of those with some form of common sense; in which case you've probably already finished your one, and are wondering how I'm still alive.

Anyways. These are but a few of the things I have found to distract myself from this very important essay.

THE LIST:

1. Room tidying - and I'm not just talking about my standard "push-all-the-scattered-crap-to-the-edges-of-the-room-to-maximise-floorspace" approach here.

2. Cleaning the kitchen. Like, properly.

3. Rearranging all my books into alphabetical order.

4. Eating. (my personal favourite)

5. Pretending I'm an infamous, clown-masked bank robber

6. Building a new computer.

7. Drinking various alcoholic beverages (another favourite)

8. Buying lots of things on the internet.

9. Waiting for the things you bought to arrive in the post.

10. Working my evening job as a senior popcorn scooper at the local cinema.

11. Arguing with the British Gas customer service department.

12. Making pinhole cameras out of random boxes and film canisters lying around in your room

13. Defacing children's colouring books.

14. Staying up until stupid o'clock in the morning making a list of things that have nothing to do with writing a dissertation.

and last, but by no means least:

15. Staring at a blank Microsoft Word document trying not to think about how fucked you are if you don't pull your thumb out your arse and figure out what the fuck to write.

Still, I have a pinhole camera or two set up in the studio, so that'll be something exciting to look forward to tomorrow. I hope that they're not horrendously over-exposed - that will just ruin my day. I've never had too much luck with pinhole techniques, but let's hope that this time round everything will be awesome, and I'll have a badass photograph created over a period of 24 hours.

Will update tomorrow if I'm able. Until then, it's time for bed.

Night y'all.
