[feeb]

Full on crazy and stressful!!!

I have kids in CC 1 day a week to facilitate me to do placements 1 day a week, starting monday coming placements are, previous weeks I have had other things on for work that have worked out well.

I am up late everynight reading and researching articles for my assignmemts 1st due 8th april!!!

I have managed a grand total of 2 hours of study so far. Not good since I am doing two papers. DH has promised me a day this weekend to hopefully get a good chunk of a rapidly approaching assignment done.

I'm studying this year too - teaching science (chem and some biol) so have to teach some of the stuff you're finding hard. Wish me luck!

Im behind already (sigh) especially because the Uni has taken forever to grant me my credits.

Anyone else really hate the group work? Maybe its just because I find it difficult being external but sheesh, I really wish I could just work alone.

I do but I don't but I do... lol I've had one lot of group work where everyone was fantastic and everyone put in their fair share of effort... what I HATE about group work is having 'those' people in your group who think they can ride on everyone elses hard work and still claim the same credit for the final outcome. It annoys me to no end.

My assessments feel like they're one on top of the other, one due on the 31st March, 1st April, 14th April... pretty much one every 2-3 weeks... plus teaching placements.

I've done no group work yet, but I'm getting really annoyed by some of the younger people on the course. Talking at the back of lectures I expected, but sitting with their backs to the tutor in a tutorial (whilst she is speaking to us all) and constantly facebooking on their phones! So rude!! In one of my pracs there is a girl who sits at every opportunity, even when everyone else is having a standing conversation and trying out physicals tasks, she just sits there looking bored.

Maybe I am just a grumpy old woman but if they don't want to listen and learn I don't understand why they are there.
