Week 16
Nearly there

Wednesday:

Since last Thursday this week had been so hard for me and Wednesday was no exception.

All day was spent working on A3 and putting work into the template. Wednesday was the last day, a last push and an almighty effort. Not that the whole of the last week hadn’t been, staying up till the early hours in the morning to get things completed.

I told my self all week that if I could get this done, I could do anything. I was so tired but in high spirits and looking forward to Thursday, dead-line day.

I learnt a lot about myself this week, some things I already knew but others I didn’t, like how, if I want something bad enough, I will get it. I also learnt how dedicated I am to this course and how dedicated I feel towards everyone in the group, I wanted to do it for them, to be part of the team and be able to congratulate and be congratulated all together and most of all to be one of the boys!!

I was shattered by the end of the day but satisfied that most things were in order. I knew that the night was going to be a long one again but worth it.

Thursday:

4 hours sleep later I knew I had done it and could now relax.

Although I managed to get A3 in, there just weren’t enough hours in the day, or night, to get in A4 too. A4 was complete but I just didn’t have the time to put it into the template. I really wish I could have as it was a few hours job, but, you can’t have everything and I was pleased with myself for juggling 4 assignments at once. Maybe if I had got more done sooner I would have managed to get A4 complete, as I am quite competent with PageMaker now, it wouldn’t have taken very long to do.

The time planning that we are required to do throughout assignments was an absolute blessing for me. It taught me to consistently write tasks down and tick off when done. If it wasn’t for the organisation Steve drills into us, I wouldn’t have achieved my goal.
Thank you Steve.

Thursday afternoon was fabulous, relaxing, fun and reflective. I really enjoyed the company of every single person in the group and look forward to the next deadline…...kind of!!
