Okay, I know the feeling! Can you at least make a start tonight? That will make you feel better.

That would make me feel better but I am going out drinking tonight with my college pals.

Naughty! Though I must admit I understand that feeling too ;) Could you not at least rattle out a few paragraphs before you go?

That seems feasible. Figuring I had time to come on here and try to make some beer money first.

And try not to overdo it or you won't be able to work tomorrow either and then you'll really be in trouble Have you at least done some groundwork for the paper even if you've not started writing it yet?

Oh yeah. Follow it up with a smoke and you'll be a regular Shakespeare. He was probably half cut all the time too.

Hmph I am not a very good counsellor am I? I should be telling you to stay in and work. But hey, life is short and beer is good.

You gave some good advice . Nothing wrong with a little side chat to prove we are human.
user

Of course :). Hmm it's been many years since I was in Uni. Too many.

Probably not too much has changed besides the cost. But that's a whole different story about anxiety. Luckily I am going for engineering and have a half of a chance to get a job once I graduate next year.

Ah it's a good field to be in. Do you suffer from anxiety generally or is it just over this paper?
assistant
Question
Generally but it flairs up more around due dates naturally.
user

and exams too I will bet. Does your school offer any free counselling?
assistant
Question
Yeah I never looked into it though. I probably should. Good idea.
user
