this week my mind is all in a mess. so many things to do. had my final interview assessment on mon, 5 more deadlines within this and next week and then the very next day after handing in the last thing i fly off to auckland all by myself for a month!
scary! exciting! haven't packed yet! how to fit my pillow in my luggage! hate domestic flights with tiny luggage restrictions!
working on an essay that i have spent almost half the entire semester on. and i just started rewriting it again yesterday. too complex, too long, too many references. i must simplify. my lecturer wrote me an email to remind me that this is a level 1 paper, and the paper is "only worth 5 credits", whereas others are 10. but i think the topic (disability) is so complex and multi-textured that i find it incredibly difficult to simplify and simplistify everything into a nice level 1 easy-peasy 2000 word essay.
i've currently got two versions going. one that i can submit and meet the requirements and one that is a product of my own research and thought.
*pout*
well at least i've completed 2 other assignments, almost completed a third and only have one more that i completely haven't touched.
we got a delivery of 4 cubic metres of wood today and it's sitting outside on the driveway under the sky threatening to pour. oh no! hate soggy wood sizzling and spitting.
work work! must finish by today so i can edit/shorten tomorrow and submit tomorrow cos it's due 9am on fri and i'll be damned if i want to wake up so early and go to school just to submit the paper. yeah right. got so many better things to do.
like, transplant the leek seedlings outside. mulch and water the poor cabbage seedlings which i put outside two days ago and have been buffeted by the strong winds (poor things must want to come back in). sow oats, dig in the weeds, pull out the corn plants with no more harvest to give, and possibly debug (haha!) the basil.
i feel super procrastinate-y. (???)
and my england is like no more power. *grouch*
