We've made it this far

Well it has really been full steam ahead this last few weeks. I Have managed to get my work submitted but I still feel nervous that it will all go wrong. Technology and myself don't always see eye to eye.
I've done my best and I do believe that the work is of a better standard than last year. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Myself and Emma went for our 20 week scan yesterday and all is going well so its an exciting household here. I am so lucky. In a funny way I do feel that it has helped me be slightly more organised which is a good thing as the due date is around submission time. I cant ever take the easy way out.

I hope everybody has a great Christmas and New Year.

Take care

Locating resources

Well it's been a difficult time for me this past week or so. I am not having too much joy locating journal articles for my research project which has been frustrating. Still the books I've researched are all good sources which has eased some of my worries.

This semester has been all about research for me. I feel that I've read or skimmed through so many different sources of information that I am could probably recite some of them by heart.

It's all part of the fun though and it will definately be worth it in the end.

Putting the pieces together

Hello,

Its been a busy few days here in cold wet Cornwall and the work load just gets bigger.
I feel a little bit behind at the moment. I think this is mainly due to reading so much literature. It is a slow process but I imagine it will pay off in the end.

I'm slowly beginning to see that all of the modules are coming together now although I have found it difficult avoiding any over lap.

Still I can say that I am enjoying each of the modules even though I do feel stressed out by it all.
Never mind it will be worth it in the end.


Back to T4D and the rest.

Reflections




Its been a busy week so far. I've been reflecting on the things we have all achieved so far and am now focusing on what else we all have to do.
I've found that I am on a bit of a go slow with regards to our modules. I'm not sure why. I think it is just because I am waiting for people at work to have time to talk to me about my project. I guess this could be labelled a critical incident. I think there may be a few more yet.
Oh well back to reflecting. Bye for now.

Finally back in

Well hello everybody. I fear that I have neglected my blog for a long time.
I think it is a good idea to get back into the swing of things and post my thoughts.

Year three is well under way now and I imagine that I'm not the only one that has mildly paniced already.

It's not easy to maintain a calm exterior when your minds are racing, looking for different research materials and ways of presenting them.

Hopefully I'll be able to get into a routine where I don't let myself get too worried. I hope my blog will help me this year in the sense that it will be my loophole to sanity.

I will endeavour to post as often as possible and perhaps even share work through it.

Best wishes and happy studying

Phil
