Lots of assignments

The assignments are now coming thick and fast and so I've been trying to do some and finding out how to do others. Yesterday I uploaded the reflective essays from the first 17 days of my work experience. As this is only worth 10% I was wondering how many more essays will I need to do to pass. The course outline is written very vaguely and so I have to keep asking the teacher what is required. This seems to be quite common leaving me wondering what I'm actually supposed to be writing about in my assignments.

My subjects are taking up a lot of my time and I don't seem to have any to spare. Every night is spent doing readings or writing long and pointless essays. As I say, it is hard to know what amount of effort to put in. I don't think there is much use trying for more now my time is limited and the past marking variability of assignments does not mean that a lot of work will pay off. Even so, it's hard to juggle it all. I actually wrote this in a letter to one of the teachers. It's taken three years but I'm finally realising how annoying and frustrating it is.

Just a few more months Ryan, then after a while it will just seem as though it was a bad dream, mind you after you start work in retrospect it might seem like a good time.

I'm still not sure whether I would classify work as a good dream. They are both bad dreams you can just do more things if you work.

Half your luck, Rynnie! At least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel... As for me, I'm going to be having uni bureaucracy nightmares for another 4 years!! :-(

Roll on year end, then you can reap all the benefits that this qualification can bring.
