Sorry to hear that Danni. Have you asked the doctor about getting some anti-sickness medicine? Something like Stemitil. It's not great to take in the long term but might help you in the short term. Obviously it won't deal with the causes of the stress but it could still help you get on with everyday life.

What sucks is that I woke up at 5:50am today feeling very sniffly. I've got a cold. I saw one of my friends who I was at the pub with last night stocking up on Benylin and tissues in Boots and he said he woke up with a cold today too. It's really annoying. Also I couldn't find a computer anywhere on campus so had to come home. I'm going to try to work and maybe go to campus later. I've only just been ill, I don't need to be ill again a week before dissertation :(

What sucks is A.) finding it hard to get back into the swing of UM after my little anger induced break (Remember Im an emotional wreck?) and that stinks. And B.) I no longer have the confidence to talk to friends. Oh and C.) I had a mini panic attack earlier, never exited a room so quickly before.

Having a mixed week really.

Dissertation panic sucks. I know I need to write about another 5000 words and they have to be good and referenced and fit in with what I've written in the first section. But at the moment I just seem to be panicking and staring out of the window. All I can see is a massive conifer and a lovely blue sky. I want to eat some real food but I haven't got any, all I've got is crisps and sweets. Maybe I should just go home. But I've got so little time left. In terms of writing time, I've got tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Given I am fully capable of doing nothing in a day, that's really not good. As the deadline gets closer, it is getting harder and harder to stay calm.

Try not to worry too much, you've still got a week left to do it so the key is just to take a few deep breaths and do little bits each day. Don't leave absolutely all of it until 2/3 days before the deadline, that'll just make you panic even more - if you try and set yourself a target of doing a specific number of words each day then you'll get through it in no time. Good luck :)

So save the last dance

No one wanted me to have my lie in this morning. Loud family, then the loud Dog, then the water gets turned off and the builders feel the need to bang on the window and tell me, then the dog went mad again, and theeeeen the postman got me up to sign for a package. The mad rush to find clothes is never fun in itself, anywho..

Plus I had 2 pieces of coursework to hand in today, giving a bit of a rush and stress.

i'm really pissed off. i need to change my life completley, and i need to work in some better places. this area is bringing me down so much, but it's hardly easy getting away from it all during a recession and no solid plan.

maybe i'll go and work for sky

on the grid.

God I dunno even know where to begin... Suffice to say friend trouble again. I just cannot talk to one of em, which sucks cos I used to really like him and now I can barely talk to him. Also we're going to Alton Towers in 10 days, so that'll be awkward...

>_< Hate it when I get like this! Stupid idiotic feelings make even the simplist things hard. Pain in the arse is an understatement. :(

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
