Final Year, Week 4

Monday

Monday's are generally grim and this was definitely one of them. Woke up feeling like I'd barely slept after an extremely rough weekend out with the girls. After finally dragging myself out of bed, inevitably I could tell it just wasn't going to be my day. It's becoming more apparent that different areas of my life I certainly need to re-evaluate as they certainly aren't going to be of a beneficial outcome (such as nights out with friends. I drink and then am fit for nothing the next day).

I definitely need to focus on uni, work and my finances and get them in order. Otherwise no matter how much extra work I end up doing, it'll not be worth not doing as well in my degree, my career or workplace.

On a slightly more positive note, first class was replaced by a visit to InvestNI. Somewhat worthwhile to see the resources they have, yet I doubt it's overally relevant to my dissertation topic. Unluckily, am now stuck in the college communal library. Most unlike a library you can get. It's full of noise and people talking, feels as though you're trapped in a small realm of hell (for a better want of a description).  Yes, I am truly hating this Monday. Can't wait to get home and just switch off from being around people - I've had quite enough of my fill for the past while.

Am now in my Retail Management class and am finding it extremely difficult to focus and stay conscious - serves me right for going out yesterday. I plan to hopefully be home about 5pm and will try to get some rest.

Tuesday

Feeling alot brighter in comparison to yesterday. Terrible mood is gone, with the majority of the tiredness. Thank God. Couldn't cope if I had another rough day like yesterday. In our design class we started up our personal work blog on wordpress - very different from Blogger in term of technicality in use. Good to see that I could, for the most part, keep up and understand the processes when tinkering around with the settings and links. Cliffs class we somewhat discussed the assignment as it was fired out to us in Simons' class at the end. We all became pretty bewildered about it and we'll probably need told several times to as what the hell we're ment to be doing.

The last class was pretty useful, we're barreling ahead with a small chunk of this assignment. After the lesson content was discussed we went over Harvard referencing again (thank God). I'd completely blanked on how to do it, never mind trying to polish things up in my memory about referencing. Referencing has been a minefield for me ever since first year - always leaving it to the last moment being a key thing not to do this year or your more sunk than the Titanic...


Thursday

Cliffs class wasn't so bad - we didn't go into anything too mad as alot of our class appeared either late or didn't show up altogether. The class was fairly good, with quite interesting discussions.
