WAH! Today is my gauntlet to get as much as done as humanly possible. Three projects in week one seems ridiculous. But I’ll get it done. I can’t do one of them until Monday at the earliest. (sigh) Not my fault though! So I’ll do it as much as I can Monday then come home and work on it. I think I can get everything else completed today and tomorrow. Then it’ll just be two projects a week. One of which is a journal, so it’ll be easy~!
I’ve been reading and working on assignments all day now. It seems like it’s not getting anywhere. I think I’m going to get up from the computer for a few minutes. Stretch and move around. It might help! At the very least I have gotten one discussion board response and one chapter completed. A walk helped my mind feel more focused but now I don’t want to sit and work on school work. Haha, but I really need too. My schedule went from nothing to way too many things and I need to find balance!
Whoo! I have one more chapter to read. I have not gotten nearly as far as I wanted today. But I am definitely completing something. YAY. For instance my journal entry is almost completed (I need a question answered before I can turn it in). That means I can do the contextual study of students and the school tomorrow. The assessment I can’t do until Monday. Anyways, a little completed work is better than none. My second discussion also doesn’t need to be posted until Monday. I need to ask my mentors about something for it anyways.
