It seems that my time is so managed these days, that I don't appear to have any left! Could explain why it's been so long between posts....
So, here's what's happening......
Assignment 1 is due on Monday (major GULP!!) so obviously I've read through the readings and modules, completed the activities and know exactly how to approach the assignment, right?
WRONG....about the last part anyway. Yes, I completed the readings (and took notes!) and yes, I completed the activities. Trouble is, my head is so full of STUFF now (it's literally spinning and swinging like The Claw ride at Dreamworld . Around and around and up and down and around and around......you get the picture. If you haven't been on it, DON'T DO IT!) I can't seem to settle on a single thought for a moment. While writing this, I'm also planning dinner, working out which resources to use for my assignment, mentally reminding myself to take the DVDs back to the shop and working out if I'll have enough daylight left for a walk after this post.
So, how does a working mother get an assignment done, I ask you??????
One word at a time, it would seem, chosen carefully and sparingly! You would think that in a 2500 word assignment, you'd be trying to stretch out your sentences to reach the word limit. WRONG again! I'm already up to draft number 5 ( and by 'draft' I mean I've actually written 5 different assignments!).
Each time I think I'm on a roll (about 2000 words in) I read through and realise I'm completely off track. Somewhere along the way the explanations and justifications turn to good old Waffling.
So.....what to do?
Exactly as my lecturer said......take a deep breath......read the question (again)......work through the modules(again)......take another deep breath.....slow the spinning and swinging in my head.....start writing(again).......and edit, edit, edit!
Yes, I can do this.
Many before me have.
If only I could just stop waffling! My online learning journal might actually reflect mt learning!
One can only hope.
Maybe next time..........
