Markie sometimes teases me for spending more time drawing up pretty plans than actually doing the stuff I'm planning. There might be something to this, concidering my blog is mostly a list of my plans and how crap I'm doing at them! But sometimes my plans work out. So a couple of weeks ago I had a complete freak out over everything I had to do and, as I often do, I blogged my escape plan. Whaa haa haa.
I got the assignment in at the last minute, and the last minute is always better than a late minute, so I'm not going to complain. I also got 81% on it. Yay me!
I'm also on top of my OU reading and have managed to survive the week without skimping on the note taking. The new course is a little odd. We're supposed to do online group activities, which is tricky since we're supposed to be able to work in our own time, but there we go. It is the first presentation of a new course. They couldn't have known that getting a bunch of part-time students online at the same time within a 2 day time frame was going to present an issue. </sarcasm>
Now, my problem is that I haven't managed to gain any time back yet, and I'm relying on finishing the assignment early to have time for the seventh sanctum contest. I've got another chapter to read and the assignment to do. I could be cutting it close. Luckily, there's still time after the assignment deadline to work on the picture. Just hope I can find the time!
Poor old scrapbook isn't getting any love, but that was part of the plan. I didn't expect to have any time, and surprise surprise, I didn't. *sigh*. I also haven't read anything. This does mean I'm in serious danger of failing my novel challenge for the year. This seems sad :(. If I let it slip now I'll have no motivation to read anything on any other month! I do still have tonight and tomorrow. Maybe it's not too late...
I'll be honest, I'm not feeling very positive about my goals this month. Today is Valentine's Day. That means the month is half gone already and I haven't made much progress. I've written very little (though I've just noticed that Googledocs is all nice and pink today and I want to keep it like this forever!), my bookmark is woefully close to the front cover of Thud, and other than playing around with the Seventh Sanctum generators my manga dream is no closer. I have done rather a lot of OU work, which is sapping most of my time to be honest, and although it is very interesting I'm still getting 'dorsal' and 'ventral' mixed up and I have no idea what the tegmantum or the telencephalon do, however I do know how to spell them! Ah well. I'm going to have one last go at the questions at the end of chapter 2 and then I'm moving on to chapter 3.
I did leave my biology books at home today so I could try and read Thud or do some of Technomancer, though mysterously I seem to be blogging instead. Hmm. Never mind. Next week I'm off somewhere secret doing a secret thing, but it involves a secret drive where there should be time for some not so secret reading :o).
On a more positive note, we get to go for our 12-week scan on Tuesday! Yay! Just can't wait to see Baby Boo :o). Hopefully I'll be back with pictures!
