16th October

I am becoming very much accustomed (or so I think-haha!) to the pressure of the third year. I am doing work on time and meeting deadlines for most things, and I am keeping apace of the homework which needs to be done for tight deadlines. Next week I have to submit my Creative Writing Portfolio to the tutors of my group for analysis. But because I am doing a piece that fits under the troublesome category of new media, I am worried quite honestly that perhaps none of the tutors (as they don’t seem to be experts in this field) may have difficulty marking it.

I assumed this is a slight turnaround of mine on the education system; in my youth, lessons were compulsory, and teachers seemed to make life hard for me. Although my present tutors by no means deserve the trouble of marking my work, as they’re all good people, it’s my little bite back on the system as a whole.

Aside from that rebellion tendancy, and the semi-realistic amounts I’m thinking of pushing the boundaries in other subjects, I’m doing well, as already said. I’m organised to the point where I already have all the work done needed to be done for the next week, which is good because Delanwy’s coming down again, for which I’m glad.

We are still getting along quite famously, but I worry about her job. She works at a call centre and far too much, thirty seven hours a week one week, and about forty three the next. They bully her also into doing overtime and the stress of it is starting to show I think; She is grumpy and at work for sometimes ten hours a day! So she’s having a break, and coming up here to chillax, and spend time with me, for which I’m quite glad!

5th October

There is a lot of work to do this last year. Each module feels much like its own course, and the amount of self-directed-study we have to do is approaching the 85% mark for sure! Most lessons are also hinting at a “logbook journal” of all thoughts and research done throughout the final year, which can be requested if necessary. To this end I will start up a new blog, especially to keep track of all my notes and research, and reports from lessons.

Whilst progress on this blog has stalled for a little while (write ups are coming later), i have started a more professional blog for my university work on this third and final year. It will contain lesson reports and research and homework. It will effectively be my paper and pens for this year, and also be accessable than blank paper and pens are in the library.

More later, but now, my last lesson of the week!
