The life of study

My life seems to be full of study at the moment but I really don't mind. I am doing 120 points and it is hard at times but I do enjoy it, even on those days when I am tired too, and I put my all into it to get through it.
With getting ill I did fall behind on my time table of being ahead and I'm not back to where I want to be with my study but by the end of this week I should be about 4-5 days ahead and getting back into the swing of this thing we call study.
I am mostly concentrating on DD100 this week and getting this block out of the way so I can start the TMA next weekend (1st April etc) so I can have it out the way for the 4th-5th April so I can then get back to A217 and do the next Religion.
I still don't have my mark back for the second TMA (assignment) for A217 but I think I will have it back next week and am looking forward to seeing what my mark is because I took a slightly different approach with it and hope it paid off. - Last time I did get my highest ever mark for a level 2 course and for all time in my humanities course and I was so pleased so my only hope is I have stayed at that standard and maybe got one mark higher than last time but we shall see if that happens.

I am more motivated at the moment and try to be as productive as I can each day so I get more and more things done and don't fall behind on things. Things are really going great with that (even when I have tired days) and I am getting more and more things done each day. In the past I have been known to sit around and not get much done or been too lazy etc but now I do one thing and then think of anything thing to do and get more things done. I could get more done if I wanted but I am not as motivated as I could be, I am just trying to get used to how much stuff I am doing now and then will motivate myself a little more and get more and more done.
I am amazed at what I get done too, I rarely watch TV now and I rarely chat too long on MSN, I just go on there for up to an hour every 1-2 days and chat with my friend Pete and a couple of my other friends like Caroline who is a good friend too :O)

I went to Next yesterday after not going in since before Christmas, I have done well I think. I didn't go over board either, I got a bag, 2 nice tops (day time ones) and a pair of mules things that are to die for and I wanted the second I saw them. I am pleased with what I got and happy I didn't get more. I want to wait a while until I have paid more off my next bill before going in there and having a big splurge.

It seems my mum was happy with what I got her for mothers day even though I would of liked to of gotten her more than I did.
At first I was going to get flowers delivered to her but I like buying things that won't die in a few weeks time so I ended up getting her 2 DVDs and a CD. I send them on Friday with a Card and she got them yesterday and really liked them.
As I walked round town yesterday I saw loads of people buying flowers and I wished I had gotten her flowers too and felt really bad about not getting her any as they are nice to get. If she lived closer or in a easy place to get to I would of bought her a bunch of flowers and taken them over to her but she lives a little too far away for that which is a shame but next time I go and visit her I will buy her some :O)

Oh and I have already bought her wedding anniversary card in preparation for the 6th. I will send it next weekend so it will get them before the date :O) I did so well :OP

Oh it's my dad's birthday on the 10th and so far I have got him the latest Neil Diamond CD (he is a fan) I have also seen another Neil Diamond thing he will like so will get that, I think that is about (£40) but I don't know what else to get him. I was thinking of taking him to Republic on his birthday and letting him pick something from there as well.
I don't know if I should take him for a meal or buy him something instead yet, I think he will be happy with those gifts so I guess I could take him for a nice meal too :O)
