Not waving but drowning

Not since I was studying for my O Grades an unbelievable 23 years ago have I had so many things to worry about (not to be melodramatic). But there is so much due round about now that I really don't know how I'm going to get it all done (unplugging my broadband cable might be a good place to start...).

For the first time since the course started I skipped a lecture today. I was considering doing that, and just going in for my APD in the afternoon when I discovered, to my delight, that we didn't have an APD session today. So I spent all day working on my assignment, with my ICT task thrown in for light relief in the middle. I finally finished that and submitted it with 48 hours to spare; somehow I don't think I'll be doing the same with the assignment, which is a bit more challenging.

On the subject of the ICT task...I consider myself to be quite a helpful person, and expect others to be equally helpful. So when I needed a very simple question on the use of Word to be answered, I thought all I had to do was post the question in the Computing forum on the course intranet, and one of the prospective Computing teachers would help me. I may not know much about ICT (until this course started I couldn't even have told you that 'IT' apparently now has a 'C' in it...), but I know enough to be able to see that although no fewer than 22 people have read my query, none of them has responded. I wouldn't mind so much, but one of their number posted a plea for help with his spelling and grammar on the English forum the last time an assignment was due, and I was only too happy to help out. Grrrrr!!!!

Anyway, apart from that I have also progressed, slowly, with the assignment, and finally feel I am getting somewhere. Not sure where, but somewhere.

Roll on Easter!
