After making a big decision about my future on this course this week has really been of mixed feelings. I made a big effort over the weekend to concentrate on my work but I only really managed a couple of hour on the Saturday, which is an improvment but something I thought I could have done more. Sunday I didn't even think about college but I did plan to have a good crack at college on Monday, but when Monday arrived I thought I could have a good crack at home on my assignment but again I did about 3 hours work on and off but still felt I could have done more. I think i've come to the decision that I cannot work from home, far too many distractions!
So on Monday I emailed Steve to say I was coming into college, and I was planning on making a solid effort! For Tuesday I managed to just get my head down with no distractions and just go for it. With me thinking I was so far behind after doing the work on Saturday/Monday and Tuesday I really felt I had got far and came away from college thinking I could do this with time to spare.
I still was pushing the A4 assignment to one side as I was concentrating more on the A3 task, and the A4 assignment was one I was really looking forward to but I took the decision to move to the part time course which is something i've been thinking for a while now. After I made this decision a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders and although there is a bit of disapointment that I couldn't do the full time course I feel i've made the best choice and more mature choice! If I would have carried on with the full time course and carried on working the way I have been I would have been letting a good few people down, and most importantly letting myself down as I would have let things just pile up on me and would have just thought "Sod This" with it.
This gives me something to really look forward to now in the new year, its like a new start. For the time I do get spare I am going to study more and try and learn as much as possible so I can always be one step forward on the HNC course.
Back to the work,
Wednesday was just a crack on with it day in which I got a hell of a lot of work done. I had somethings I wanted to add later at night but was just too worn out from going to work straight from college so I just sketched them down and over the weekend i'll add them ideas in my sketchbook.
For Thursday, with me dropping the other assignment I could just get on with the A3 project, in which I thought I had it all sorted, Until the feedback meeting! I struggled with my goals the last project, concentrating on what I could achieve instead of the assignment goals in which this is my main study this week. The rest I just had little bits of text I had to rearrange and add little bits to and of course the dreaded referencing in which i'm saving till the last minute after the last assignment!
I have a lesson with John on Tuesday so i'll ask John to go over my work and will take his feedback then my work will be all ready for handing in on Thursday in which i'm just going for a pass. I'll try and come in to college on Monday just to get myself more motivated to get my work handed in up to pass standard.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head there Chris. The more mature decision is to just realise that you simply can't do it.
I applaud you for realising, because some people would never admit, and just continue burying their head in the sand.
Don't feel disappointed though, you gave it your best shot and that's all that anybody can ask.
Good luck on the new start and all.
Cheers for the comments Craig, really appriciate it.
Seeing people working on the other assignment today and talking about what they had to hand in seemed kind of strange but as much as I wanted to do it I just couldn't! I'll get there in the end, will just take me longer!
