Well here I am once again, I should be studying but I thought I might as well do this weeks blog because I didn't do it Sunday and now it's Wednesday, my this week is going fast I can tell you!!
Well basically last week I spent time studying and doing my assignment (tma) and I totally messed up on the assgnment. I wasn't enjoying B120 (my business studies course) and rushed through the course material (was running out of time) and then it gave me enough time to spend a few days on my assignment but I wasn't really in the mood to do it so just rushed through the question and at the last minute I realized I had messed up a little (well a lot) on the question and I went to rectify it and gave up after ten minutes. I know that really isn't the attitude to have but I was just so tired for working hard and wasn't in the mood. This tma (assignment) is only worth 10% of the overall Score for the course and the other three are worth 30% so I can make up my points on my next three. I do plan on working harder and longer on the next one no matter how tired I am.
Right now I am working on T175 (technology course) and OMG! I am behind. I was ill the latter part of last week and wasn't able to do any. Sunday I was meant to have a all day study session but my dad needed to get on my computer and work so I said he could have the computer to 3pm and then I want it to 6pm. On Sunday I was very tired so even when it was my time on here I was so tired I just couldn't do too much because I was simply half asleep as I sat here so I didn't get too much done but I did get enough done in the time I spent on it. It is a pain having 80% of this months course work online because the internet totally distracts me and I do spend way too much time browsing the net at the same time as me studying so don't get the work done as fast as I should be.
Anyway so today and tomorrow I am doing T175 and then Friday I need to have a look at B120 for the day because there is a online deadline for a activity in my course book and my answer to it has to be online by the end of Friday otherwise I will lose points. It is a total pain I will admit because I have online deadlines for T175 but luckily non of them are in this next week.
So basically I need to get through as much of B120 as I can possibly do on Friday and then Sunday will be split between T175 and b120 as they both have deadlines coming up for things. For b120 I have an assignment (tma) due the middle of December and T175 I have a CMA (computer marked assignment) and the first few days of January I have a TMA (assignment) due but need to get it finished before Christmas so I can take time off over Christmas and New Year and not have to worry about study. I want to take off up until the 2-3rd Jan and then I have to get back into my course work for B120 because there is another TMA (assignment) due in January. It really is all go I can tell you now and end of Jan I have a much harder course starting, don't know if I am sticking to my level three choice or do a level 2 course - that all depends on my course marks that I receive on the 15th December. I think I failed and if that is the case I am going to go for the level two course for sure.
I spent Wednesday evening and all day Thursday and Friday feeling rather unwell, it was horrible but at least I seem OK now although I am jus so tired all the time and when I do have time to sleep I don't get as much sleep as I would like because I keep tossing and turning and waking up and not getting back to sleep. My mind is just working over time at the moment and it is effecting my sleep patterns, I would give anything for a solid 8-10 hour sleep one night this week.
I bought a new duvet cover set from Next, I couldn't get the one that I wanted the most because they had sold out so I got another one. I did have a hard time picking it because there are loads of lovely duvet sets on the Next site but some are rather expensive and right now with all I owe Next I didn't want to spend £30-50 on a duvet cover set so was just looking at the cheaper ones and got a nice black and white one which I am yet to put on my bed but I will do once I get my new 3 in 1 duvet that I plan on getting.
I also bought a brand new pair of PJ bottoms that I have liked for a while but didn't have my size in last time I was in the shop. But lucky for me then had them online so I treated myself to them and in fact I have them on now as I sit here typing this. I also got a lovely pair of PINK slippers which I just love and are so comfy and I have them on too and they are keeping my feet nice and warm.
I was just on the Next site and was looking for a pair of jeans, because I could do with another pair of nice ones like I got from Next two months ago and I think this time I will go for the black ones. I was also looking for a pair of boots because I only have one day time pair which are smart casual and I got them from next, I have another pair which are smart casual but they are getting worn out and the zip doesn't work properly. Other than that I have a lovely pair ofkneww high boots from Next but they are very much day time ones and I am not sure if they even fit me anymore because my feet have strange habits as I have mentioned before.
I found a nice ankle pair of boots with a pointy toe and they have them in wide (f00t) fitting so I am going to order a pair of them and hope they fit me because they look amazing.
Well Saturday was a busy day....we left the house and went down to the sorting office inBlackburnn because I missed the postman who was delivering a package. Once we had done that I drove into town and went to my bank and put some money in and then up to my dad's bank and did the same thing. We then started to make our way to the butchers at chatburn but knew we wouldn';t get there in time so we then made a detour and went to my mums instead. Was there for ages and ages talking away, my step dads sister and brother in law were there and they are very funny. My brother also turned up so it was very busy there at one point.
Once we left there we went to the farm shop in Salsmbury and got some meat before we then started to make our way to Preston. We had to go to Preston because I needed to find the theory test centre before Tuesday so we knew where it was and how to get there, I had been on the route planned in the morning and had printed a route off so we had that and it got us there so it was all good. Then it was back to Blackburn to do the food shopping but we got in the wrong lane and ended up coming the long way back to Blackburn and by now it was 5:30,Ii had only eaten one piece of fruit during the day and my concentration was going and I wasn't feeling well. It was so hard getting acrossBlackburnn feeling that way and I told my dad he would have to drive home after we had done the shopping because I simply felt too rough and I could cause an accident driving the way I felt at that time.
We did the shopping in record time and were soon back on the road heading acrossBlackburnn to our house were we unpacked the shopping and started to cook the dinner. By now I was so tired and hungry - I didn't know if I wanted to eat or sleep the most at that point lol.
I sat in front of the TV with my dinner and watched TV till around 10pm before putting on my present that Pete had got me for my birthday - the package I picked up from the sorting office.
Pete had gotten me the complete 2 series of tru Calling on DVD and I was more than pleased with that, I love that show and to have 999 minutes of it (16 hours) more than made me a happy bunny :o)
I didn't get to bed until 2:30 and I don't have a clue how I managed to stay awake for that long because I was so ready to sleep about 7pm. In fact when I was sat in my mums house around lunch time I was trying to keep awake as my eyes were trying to shut. The night before I hadn't gotten much sleep but then again I hadn't slept much for weeks now and it is all taking it's toll on me.
I will be finishing my 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo today and will be glad to have more time to study. The book is a long way off being finished butIi have made the start and will work on it over the next 12 months and hope to get it published at some point in the future too although I won't let anyone read it until I am 100% happy with it.
busy week with study and everything else, I need to read another 4 books by the end of December to meet my 30 books in 2006 goal and need to clean the house and move my new furniture into my bedroom and make more xmas cakes andChristmass puddings. Also need to finish watching all of the 8 tru CallingDVD'ss and sort out xmas presents etc. Going to be busy but at least it is giving me something to do with my time.

Awww, I'm sorry that you've been struggling with your assignments this much lately. I don't blame you, you know, you have so much stuff that needs to be done. *Hug* :)
Haha, yeah, the internet is possibly the most distracting thing in the world. Hehe. I know exactly what you mean.
Awww, yeah, having a messed up sleeping pattern is awful. Trust me, I've had so for my whole life pretty much. Even when I was a baby, my mum says that she was driving herself crazy walking up and down with me, trying to get me to fall asleep. Haha. Hope that you get to sleep properly soon.
Your new duvet sounds lovely. :) And YAY @ pink slippers! I have some really warm, cosy slippers as well, black ones. I love them, though wish that they were pink. *lol*
I love PJs. :) Hehe. Want a pink one. :)
Awww, you shouldn't drive when you feel this roughly, it can be dangerous. Not trying to lecture you or anything, haha, but seriously, you shouldn't drive when you aren't feeling well. Couldn't your dad drive!?
*LOL* When you wrote that you went to 'put on' your present from your friend, at first I thought that you were talking about an article of clothing. :p Haha.
aww thanks for the hug... it is hard work and I'm not enjoying it at times but it will be so worth it all in the end :o)
The internet can distract me too much. Before I had it I used to get so much done and spend 3 hours a day on study and more if needed and now I am lucky if I can manage that at times. To catch up I could do with three hours a day on each course but when I am up to date with it I could do with doing 60-90 minutes on each course a day which isn't too bad.
My sleep pattern is a little better.... it's just me with too much on my mind at the moment. It's driving me a little crazy and I find myself not being able to sleep because of it.
I haven't used my new duvet cover yet...I want a new duvet to go in it and was meant to be getting one but my dad keeps spending money on other things so now I am waiting because I don't want to put it on my old duvet and would rather wait for my new duvet which I should get soon with some luck :oD
slippers are cool :oD I have my pinks ones on now and keep wearing them. When I have slippers I wear them out so they are worn out in a couple of months lol. But these were only £4 from my fave shop which is cheap for slippers so I can get new ones when these are worn out.
PJS are great too!! I have two pairs of pink ones. One a pale pink set that have 3/4 length bottoms and the top is a vest top and they are very pretty.
The other set are a darker bolder pink and they are 3/4 length bottoms and the top has no sleeves and they are sporty style ones...very nice :o)
I should of let my dad drive but I was already driving and we got in heavy traffic so we couldn't swap and then we got on a narrow road (country road) with cars behind me so there was no where for me to pull up and swap with my dad so i was forced to drive till we got to the shops back in blackburn because when we did get in Blackburn I got caught in loads of traffic again because of the time.
haha ... it's a DVD so putting it on ... I meant putting it on to watch hehe.
