'Hung' Parliament and Dead-lines

I have been busy with essays recently - written 3 in the past 10 days hence the lack of blogging because I just haven't found much time for it.

Over the past 4 weeks actually there have been 4 essays I have written this semester:
Philosophy of Mind - "Are Sensations Brain Processes?" (25 March)
Philosophy of Logic- "Do Possible Worlds Exist?" (22 April)
Politics: Germany - "Why has Germany’s second attempt at democracy been successful while its first failed?" (22 April)
Politics: UK - "The Attlee governments of 1945-51 have been described as the most successful application of the Labour Party's version of democratic socialism. What does their record tell us about Labour's version of democratic socialism?" (22 April)

So this Tuesday I hammered out the Logic essay in 8 hours, despite not really having much clue or understanding what the point in these Logic arguments are all about. Not got much interest in it, personally.

The Mind essay is still yet to come back -- but I'm looking forward to it.

Monday, I'm due to hand in the two Politics Essays and an Extended Essay of 5,000 (which now has a deadline extension for many reasons):

"In the event of a hung parliament, could this be seen as consensual democracy or otherwise? Discuss with reference to the United Kingdom."

The essay was chosen by me, much for all my Republican-interests politically and I have until 8th of May for that.

12th May is my Pre-Operative Assessment, so I'm planning a nice few blogs in the CP-section then, and the actual Operation is on the 28th May.

My Exams start 22nd May, with 4 exams - 22nd and 27th May, 5th and 8th June (Mind, German Politics, Logic and then UK Politics).

Its nice thinking everything could be over soon and I could get back to something that I love - decent blogging.

Saturday though - I get to see Senses Fail at Club Academy in Manchester --> Not that I care much for Manchester but I used to like the band when I was a bit younger. *might* be good, but from what I hear I can't expect too much.

Oh, and Eddie Izzard in London on Monday after I hand in my essays, with my dad.

Fun times!
