    Great! Don't want to be suffering on me own!

    My deadlines are approaching

    Need to hand in one batch at the end of this week as well as doing a presentation and the final batch by next Friday.

    I am worried that I got too distrated during last week and now not an ounce of will is left in me.

    Whoohooo! Two down... Well, too many to go but still it feels great

    Hopefully by Monday, I will have sorted it all out.

    You'll get there Scher! Have complete faith in you!

    I got my 3rd assignment sent off. Not one bit happy, but not much i could do being limited to one or two days internet a week in my mams which is totally taken up by college. I think it could have been a lot better if i had more time. Sent in on monday even though not due to tomorrow but monday was my only day with computer access. spent 10 hours researching and working on one of the essays.

    Good Luck - Pob Hwyl - to everyone starting a new term.

    Hope the schedule can be sorted, Papaya, it's difficult changing tutors in language courses, even if they are using the same course material, at least, that's what I found on the Welsh course.

    Well done, Scher - I echo Niamh's sentiments, have faith in your stickability.

    The assignment is probably better than you think, Niamh, it's hard to be objective over something you've sweated blood over, all you can remember is the anguish.

    I'm sure they'll be better than you think. Part two can't be any worse than mine will be. I haven't even started it yet. I've been staring at 'An Appeal to Cats in the Business of Love' for an hour, trying to figure out what it's about. But alas, I'm flummoxed.

    Niamh and Veho> I am sure you'll do well!

    And 10 hours is nothing as it keeps getting better and better! Enjoy it while it lasts.

    Kasie> Are you doing any studies this term? Or will you be too busy enjoying the Egyptian sun?

    I am done, Ladies and Gentlemen!

    (And more than a week to go till the due date!)

    Hoping to dedicate the weekend to editing and tidying them up but I would get a pass even as they are. Such a great relief!

    I feel like going for ice-skating now

    It's back to Welsh classes for me on Friday - and I still have not done the homework - if I can get out of my lane. You'd only have to step outside my door to go ice-skating at the momeent, Scheh, it's like glass out there. I have not been out since Tuesday, it's so treacherous underfoot.

    They went okay. I was a bit worried about the first one, because it was all new and I didn't really know what was expected of me, but I was pleased with my result and my 'assignment two' result was 1% more, lol, so that was good (I guess). I've seen your results when you've posted them on this thread; they're really good, you must be pleased!

    I'm dreading the result for this third assignment though. How did you find the poetry part?

    I start my spring semester on tuesday. I've felt too lazy this year. Last semester I was just too spread out with my time, and found myself procrastinating in my huge bulk of free time. To fight this I packed my schedule a bit tighter this semester. I'm looking forward to it.

    oh this assignment is going to get an awful result! I've had no computer (still dont) so i only had a day or two to sort them out. I'll be happy if i get 60% in it. The poetry part was a bit daunting. I enjoyed it in the end but it is by far going to be my worst result. I just didnt have the resourses to work on it. I spent 10 hours last monday (the only day i had computer access for it) researching for it and writing it up. I never want to see it again! lol!

    Maybe we'll both be pleasantly surprised!
    I bet you were fed-up after working on it for 10 hours in a single day. I guess we'll have to look ahead to the next one now, I hope you get a computer sorted out in time.

    Fingers crossed. I'm going to do the Ireland Question because i'll be in Canada when i should be studying Shostakovich and i just wont have the time to research. Best of luck with tma03!

    I must rant about my school experience. I have been struggling with my upper level accounting classes. The struggle has been with getting the classes I need. It's been going on for a year now. I think the universe is trying to tell me something and that something might be that I am on the wrong path maybe??? I don't know. Last spring semester I was enrolled at STATE college here and I go to class and all I needed was a business law class so that I could progress in the major according to their stupid prerequisite rules but the class was full. It was an auditorium class with an insane number of students and all you do is listen to this professor drone on about business law when he'd much rather be writing books about it. There were empty chairs all over the auditorium but the administration would not let me add in because according to the registration record the class was full and the fire marshall would be upset or something. And the lady who told me this was mean. I don't really blame her for being mean because the college was cutting academic jobs and programs right and left but paying our incompetent football coach a 1 million dollar severance pacakage so she could really care less about my academic plight.

    And so I didn't get anywhere with that. Then I found a private college in the area and I found out I could take all the classes I needed without the business law prerequisite and it wasn't that much more expensive than state college so i enrolled there and started taking classes without having to take a business law prerequisite.

    This fall semester I had some problems there. some of it was me and my health (my stomach is failing me) and some of it was my advisor but it's turning out to be one misunderstanding after another. I think I have the health thing under control for the time being but now if I could just get this class thing straightened out I would feel so much better

    And I've found soemthing new that i am interested in. I have read all these books about spirituality in the past few months and I find myself not wanting to do this business stuff or listen to the news anymore. All I want to do is read more about the spiritual life and I have always been one to roll my eyes at religion but this isn't religion. This is more spirituality and it seems more meaningful. But it doesn't seem like I'm supposed to drop all my worldly pursuits just yet.

    Man, I've rambled on. Anyway. Sorry to anyone who actually reads this post.
