Morninnnng! 🙂

It’s been a few weeks again since I last posted on this “Dear Diary” area of my blog; I want this area of my blog to be quite personal and to be a place where I can vent or air any of my thoughts/ worries/happenings about the course or just my life in general!

Further on from my last post about getting back into studying again after my break, I did get an email from Student Services to check I was still alive 😛 because I haven’t submitted an assignment for a while now! My heart did skip a beat! – I am an over thinker and a worrier and I was worried they were about to boot me off the course for being so slow!! There was a conversation in our student emails that I was involved with a few weeks ago, where it was discussed how the exercises in the course seem to take just as long as the main assignments… I am pleased I am not alone in this way of thinking! I do now feel though that I am being “hurried” to finish this unit off ASAP. The thing is I want to spend time and effort into getting it right, I don’t want to “half ass” it. I have managed to tone down my perfectionism slightly but I still want to do the very best that I can possibly do for each exercise and assignment.

Maybe time management is something I need to organise more…

My personal life has been very up and down lately, In my last post I mentioned I hoped for a better “dating life in 2020” and how I was going on a lunch date… it was going well until…. well until it wasn’t (*shoulder shrug because he left with no explanation*). We went on 3 dates and things seemed to be very promising until bad vibes, my gut instinct and some suspicious wedding photos emerged! I am going to read between the (silent on his behalf) lines and assume that he was potentially married with a family. Dating for 2020 is now a definite no go for me. My work colleague Ashleigh joked that I should have replied to student services with an email that said “I am still alive, I am still chipping away at my course but I have just been dating 2 horrendous men over the Christmas/New Year period!” I think I shall now lick my wounds and spend this year concentrating purely on myself and uni and getting my head back into the game.

(These experiences over the last couple of months though have inspired me for the greeting card assignment in this unit… I might do a line of cards for single girls! – “you pulled yet another dickhead… better luck next time” style haha!) :p
