Arrgh! This week (and next week) is so stressful for me, I've got two pieces of Uni work to deliver, both worth 10% each of my final mark. What makes it stressful is this...
1. The first piece, a preliminary research document, has to be a short piece of work (about 1000 words long) and at first count mine was about 4000 words long. I've managed to prune loads out and put it into the Appendix (an old trick a lecturer showed me) but the damn thing is still about 3000 words long now. My project supervisor said to email it to him last week to check over, but the silly arse went away on a business trip and isn't due back till Monday; the bloody thing has to get handed in on Wednesday. *Tears hair out*
2. The second piece of work is a 10 minute powerpoint presentation, which my supervisor insisted didn't have any "wordy" slides in it otherwise he'll mark me down. I'm halfway through that and the majority of the slides HAVE to be wordy to explain the progress of the project, and yet again he's not around to speak to. The bastard. *Tears more hair out*
I deal with stress in the least productive manner, i.e. the more work that piles up, the longer I spend chatting here with my guitar in my lap learning tunes.
I had to finish (this week) my portfolio..and it took me aaaaaaaages to finish it. I didnt go to bed on thursday night...
Now i handed that in on friday, but now i have two exams coming in the next two weeks and i got to revise like crazy...one of them is a seen examination, the other one is a take away, but its still hard as hell...
I have to pick two questions out of 10...prepare them, possibly remember them all, then do an exam on it in a week....aaaaaargh!!

Im in the same boat, i became so stressed i was seriously thinking about quitting, i was just so paranoid that i wasn't oging to meet those all important deadline dates and particuarly after coming back from the Christmas holidays, but i am happy to report i have succesfully overcome this objective and am now helping other class members with their coursework.
All i can say to Mech & Lil'B is the last thing you want to do is start worrying a clouded mind can seriously affect your work progress, although that is easier said then done.
Good luck to both of you and indeed anyone in a similar situation
