Things etc.
Today has been a good day! It feels as if I've got a lot of things done, even though I feel unsure of actually how much things that's been done. :P Confusing eh?
Anyway, I've nearly joined a guild yesterday, which will hopefully be complete today! Yay! Will be fun and interesting to see how a role playing guild in WoW works.
I went to the library at the University in Skövde this morning and borrowed six (!) books, which all seems very good and relevant. I've taken a lot of time to mark possible good things to use and read some of the texts. It is awsome to do this! It is fun, even though I sometime get a bit overwhelmed with it all. It is still doable though and I don't think it'll be too hard. I like (and at the same time dislike) the fact that everything is planned and we have dates to hand-in certain parts of the essay for peer-preview.
School to-do-list
I've posted a couple of questions on the forum that I really like to have replies to soon. Do you tell people when you perform a study about their language? Doesn't this kind of ruin their way to talk "normally"? How large should a research be to fit a C-essay? Those kinds of things!
Tomorrow focus will be on the essä and to start writing the first sections of the C-essay. The tricky things is to formulate myself properly on good English. That is what really takes time! :) I'm not that worried about that for the essä, which will be more written out of my head (of course with use of secondary sources). In the B-essay I'm not so unsure about how to write, but more what to write about even though I have a question and a good subject.
It is always hard to get started and that is where I'm currently at. This of course result in crappy sleep! Which I strongly dislike. Slept bad for two nights in a row now, but I hope this will diminish as soon as I've got started on things and feel that I've got the control back. Right now everything depends on this or that, which is a bit frustrating and I end up in bed thinking of this or that and how to do it. It is a constant working progress with essays, because you constantly think about it, how to construct correct sentences to really show what you mean, how to do the research, what is correct or not, what should be included beneath which headline etc. It is, as said a constant progress.
And as always the constant need to pass. I'll probably pass, not passing hasn't been in my vocabulary until now. If I don't pass, I won't get to study to teacher next term. What will I do then? Work? The market for work aren't that good right now, although still doable, but it might result in even less money than during studies (or more). What is good about working is that you get money and also experience, but it is uncertain how much you'll get, as I don't have a "real" work. On the other hand I could study. But what should I study? Do I have enough weeks left to study? Do I really want to waste those few weeks on something that I'm unsure of?
Perhaps I should check-up possible courses that might be good to have. I'd love to study sewing, but those doesn't exist close to home, so I guess that's out of the question. And I want things close to home, I don't want to move, I want to be with my family. Oh that is so typically woman! Men is so much more independent and strive to be it, even though it is important for women as well it isn't as important for men. Women take more prestige in having a nice home and family, and work often comes in second place.
Now I'm starting to analyze my own language, due to all books I've studied today!
Possible studies:
Barn och ungdomslitteratur II
Svenska C
Engelska D
Litteraturvetenskap C
Något pedagogiskt
Något feministiskt
