Days of the week

I am absolutely shattered from this hectic week! I am constantly on the go it feels like; my 8-hour sleep no longer feels like 8 hours… hmm however, that might be due to the fact that I am actually not getting 8 hours of snooze time!

Beginning with Monday, I went into uni to do some reading and note taking, I decided as I do the reading, I will write notes in such a way that I can easily just slap that into my essay thus, allowing my essay to be complete well before hand. In May, I have two major coursework’s and an assignment to hand in all due on the same day. With my degree being all coursework based, I think they are taking it too far and giving hell of a lot of work out, it’s unbelievable. I mean the first this is a dissertation of 7000 words and another coursework which is of the same level, and but at 5000 words… ridiculous! Both require major focus, and of course just to add a ‘cherry’ on top I have an assignment due (one I am note taking for) that is for 2500 words on some weirdo called ‘Foucault’ and his ideas on Education.

Then it leads to Tuesday, I was at work and the day went well so all great there. Wednesday, of course back at uni attending lectures and seminars. I did go to see my supervisor and discussed my area of topic, and ideas etc. She is very excited (at this point, a lot more excited about it than I am). However, it seems like the research that I wish to embark upon might be a hard to get an ethics approval for it. I decided I may just do a literature based dissertation instead, as there is a lot of it and I am not wasting time waiting for the ethics committee to get back to me which could possibly take a MONTH!

Thursday, I was note taking once again however, I got a little bit of rest in the evening, as it was my eldest nephews birthday, which was nice. Ate some cake and some lovely food then came home and did some work until the early hours of morning. Need I say that the same applied to Friday and Saturday? Work, work and some more work. Sunday, I woke up early to set up my nephews party with his little kiddie friends. Stayed from 10-3pm then I had to set off home to squeeze in some more reading ha-ha!

Now, I am preparing my self for today – Monday, let the uni work commence! :(

The cold & On the go!

Hello everyone! I hope you had a lovely break and a Happy New Year! Primarily, I would like to apologise to my readers for the blog that I had to let pass last week. As you may all know there is a bug going around, and pretty much everyone I know is ill with the flu or a cold, hmm perhaps swine flu too! I was struck with a cold for about 5-6days, which meant I was falling behind in pretty much everything!

Anyhow, my break was great! Simply relaxing at first then it got demanding! First had the house Christmas party which went well, then in between that and New Years Eve I had tons of work to do, so I was occupied with that. In the end, I decided not to do anything for New Years Eve, I was just too damn tired from all the coursework, and to be frank I really was not in a party mood, I Just wanted to unwind, put my feet up and take it easy. I did exactly that for two days. From last week, I was supposed to start my coursework again but obviously, that did not happen, due to the cold. I still have the sniffles however, I am now recovering. I did have a small panic attack at one point because I was out of day/night nurse tablets as well as my night nurse liquid medicine. Off I went out to Tesco’s, all the medicines of there’s were out of stock *huffs* so I had to go to Superdrugs. Got what I needed, and was advised by the pharmacist in Superdrugs to not take both the liquid and the tablets, for some reason I ended up grinning, actually I know what the reason is – I have taken both, but not a high dosage and hey I’m still alive. Although, I do not do that anymore, I do not want to end up in ER like ‘Real boy’ did (Former work colleague). I was also asked whether I had a chesty or a dry cough, well my response to that was… “thank you for your concern, but just because I have a husky voice at the moment and sound like a man does not suggest that I have any form of cough.” He laughed and gave me my bag. I just want to mention that I really like the ‘jingle’ to the advert of ‘Night nurse’ quite catchy if I may say so!

I am back at the enquiry unit this Thursday, so really looking forward to talking to customers again! I am sure others have mentioned on their blogs, but a quick gentle reminder that it is business as usual with us. We are open once again from Monday to Fridays from 9-5:30pm. If you have any inquiry’s about courses that you may be interested in or UCAS/GTTR deadlines, then give us a ding on 0800 005 066.

Right, I must get back to my work now… after all it is due in tomorrow! *Ahh*
