Gotta keep it short as I must really get to bed. The new job is going well but it’s tiring. I had hoped to have completed the course before finding full time work, but things never go exactly to plan.

On Saturday I continued working on my assignments for module 2. I made some progress but felt I hit a bit of a wall. The section on phonetics went surprisingly well but I’m stumbling over the section on marking.

Recently I’ve been feeling a little anxious about my course as I only get to spend 3 or 4 hours a week focusing on it. Before, I was really enjoying spending 14 hours a week studying. I felt that I was making real progress and now I feel a bit frustrated. Each time it takes a while to get back into it.

Tonight I was pleasantly surprised as my tutor had emailed me his feedback from my first set of assignments. With 9 pages of feedback, I’ve printed them out to read on my way to work tomorrow, but I’m really chuffed with my A-! Yay!

A week into my new job means that my self study course is taking a bit of a back seat. From 14 hours to 2 or 3 a week means the final module will take longer then expected. So first things first, I drew up a new timetable.

Well I’m pleased to almost have the 2nd module in the bag – only the last section on marking to go. I’ve already started working on the assignments so will need to go back over the phonetics section.

Keep on truckin’! x
