One hell of a week...
Having a bit of a mixed week to be honest. I've been working Tuesday-Thursday all day when I only do one day a week. Tuesday I didn't mind because it was double time, and Wednesday was my normal day but I did mind having to do today. And to top it all off, I checked the rota yesterday and I was down for working Sunday -Wednesday. Sunday I don't mind cuz its time and a half and I said I'd do a Sunday a month, but Monday and Tuesday I'm back at uni. So I wrote her a note and left it for her to find this morning. I came in and asked her if she got the note, and she replied that I had told her I could work til the 26th - why would I have said that when I KNEW I was back at uni!? Its my last full week of classes...which is very scary because in 3 weeks I will have to hand in my dissertation AND have my exams - so in essence in a month it will all be over.
I'm kinda freaking out a bit. I have SO much still to do (check out my list of 15 items) and not enough time to do them with all this time at work. I have to get Artemis' chapter well established tonight, tomorrow and Saturday so if Gerry emails me I will have something to email back to him. I was supposed to be doing the chapter, intro and conclusion over Easter but its just not going to happen. I'm VERY behind. I still have to get Middlemarch finished, but hopefully I'll get that done tonight cuz I've not much left (only about 150 pages) and then tomorrow, in between Artemis and other stuff, I'll start an American Lit one, but I'll make it a short one so I can move onto another one quickly.
My loan comes in on Monday and I'll hopefully be getting my essays back - then I'll be able to see exactly how much work I need to do for the dissertation and exams. The dissertation isn't too bad, I just need to add bits here and there to it, and expand on other things, so I'm mainly worried about actually getting the drafts finished, I can tidy it up and expand on it in relatively no time at all. I'm going to the library on Monday before class to photocopy bits of books that I want to use in this Artemis chapter. Its the reading that takes time. And I don't really have the time OR concentration to sit and read a crap book for hours, but it must be done. An awful lot hinges on passing my degree with hopefully a 2.1 or a 2.2 (which I think I will get unfortunately)
These next few weeks decides my future. I should be getting word about the PGCE at the end of this week, start of the next week. I should also be hearing about the fingerprint assistant interviews within the next fortnight too. I have an interview for the Blood transfusion service at the start of May and I really don't have a definate plan about what to do. I still have my application for the masters degree which needs filled in. I seem to have back up's for the back up's but no idea which one I really want.
My plan is like this:
- do PGCE and become a teacher
- if not the PGCE then the fingerprint assistant
- if neither of these then a job somewhere
- if not this either then the masters.
I don't know what to do anymore, except read bloody crap books. Off I go then....
(I have the positive side of this week to document, but not in such a majorly negative post)
