Ho Ho Ho

Well thats it, the 2nd semester finished and a lot has happened! From starting this course on HND thinking I could handle the workload to changing to HNC and halfing the workload. The course hasn't really been what I thought it would be, I didn't expect there to be as much written work as there has been and i'm hoping this will all change in the new year. I just hate written work but I can see its use to the course now.

I came away from last weeks lessons feeling like I had done a lot of work and knew what I had to do in my self study and also the following week at college to get all my assignment handed in. I did some work over the weekend and also a bit on Monday, I came in to see John on Tuesday but could only manage a short time with John due to times which got confused. I had planned to stop in and do a bit more work but due to a little bit of a family crisis I couldn't and I felt a full day at it on Wednesday I could get it cracked.

John had a quick look through my work and seemed quite pleased with it, and gave me a bit of advice which I took on board. When I came in on Wednesday I wasn't one bit in a state of panic I just kept my head down and got on with it. Steve also had a quick look through my work in the afternoon and just spotted out a few mistakes in which I changed in a couple of minutes. Then he spotted that I had gone well over my word count in which I thought how???? I got back to check it all again and found out that Pagemaker was playing games with me and I had but a text box somewhere in which I couldn't see where I had placed it so Pagemaker was counting that in the word count. Panic soon over.

All I had to do on Wednesday evening was to put everything together then I could relax. Don't think I could have managed the A4 assignment as well in which a lot of others seemed to be still completing a lot of this on the Wednesday where I just had one assignment to do.

When Thursday came I just went straight to reception handed it in then headed off to the pub for a much needed drink or 20! A lot of pressure has been took off me over christmas with no assignments hanging over me I can just enjoy the break and just worry about the hangovers for 3 weeks!
