The end is nigh people!
After 8 seemingly never ending months of tears, tantrums, excitement and overwhelming confusion DD101 is almost over. As you might have guessed by the fact that my procrastination has stretched to posting a blog update (not to mention cleaning the oven and chronologically ordering every bank statement from the last 7 years) I have an assignment due. Or to be specific I have my End of Module Assignment due on Monday. Oh dear.
It's actually the most interesting assignment of the whole module and I finished the reading for it in August but for some reason I just cant seem to get my head down and get it over with. I've actually managed to reasonably well on my other assignments so all I need to do is pass this and I've passed the course, the pass mark is relatively low its not a horrendously difficult essay but this actually seems to be working against me. I definitely work better under pressure, if something's due in 2 hours I could sit down and write the essay in one go but know I've got a few days left always seems to make me complacent.
This isn't helped by the fact that my student finance application for next year has finally been approved and my new module material should be arriving next week. I think now that I'm almost at the end I've already mentally started moving on to the next module. The fact that the next module looks like it's going to be an insanely huge leap in difficulty coupled with the move up to full time study this year makes it hard to keep focus. That being said there would be nothing more devastating than to work so hard and fall at the last hurdle so once this post (and my Facebook checking, forum reading and possibly another cup of tea) get out of the way it's definitely time to crack on and get this done.
Obviously my schedule being what it is the weekend I would have ideally used to write the essay is currently about to be taken up by the small matter of watching my daughter complete her first ever sponsored run for charity followed by a run of my own in the not-as-easy-as-it-looks Great North Run. I absolutely love running and this time last year was sat cramming pasta in and reading tips to try and knock a few seconds off each mile for a better time. Needless to say studying, working and trying to cram in a decent amount of overtime for my pre-Christmas paydays has meant running falling to one side followed by a swift drop off the end of a cliff. I literally haven't ran for over 2 months, to say I'm unprepared and terrified at this point would be an understatement!
Its been a slightly manic few months and although I've mostly enjoyed DD101 I'm at the point now where I absolutely cannot wait to see the back of it.
Bring on next month and W100: Introduction to Law.!
