Essayitis.
It's a real thing, and I am sure many uni students would agree here. It starts somewhere around half way through the semester when the largish assignments all start to come rolling in. And of course the due dates are usually all grouped around one another. Symptoms: over analysing essay questions; over reading source texts for a golden quote; stop-start writing. May result in procrastination; headaches; denial of said essays. Cure? End of semester seems to be the only cure, although actual completion and handing in of assignments does alleviate symptoms.
Perhaps there is a little of dramatisation here, but that's all part of essayitis.
Well, I am approximately 500 words down today, only another thousand to go. Then edit. Rinse. Repeat.
Is that a light I see at the end of the tunnel?
nope, thats not dramatising it......its pretty standard from my memory. Good luck.
