Busy, busy, busy

Well 501 is done and part a of 504 is done. Now its part b that i am attempting to complete.

Trevor and I went camping last week to Chamber's Pillar, a reward for finishing the powerpoint. IT was soooo good to get away and forget about uni and school (for the whole 24 hours). Great trip.

I have just realised how handy it is to have a blog, I can go back and check the readings and remember what the article is about instead of reading the whole lot again. So great idea!

Yah, only 1 week left of school. actually its only 4 days because friday is a pupil free and then the in-laws arrive this Thursday so really have to finish this assignment soon!!!!

why oh why

Saturday afternoon was my last netball game for the season, we didnt make it to the finals, but for a team that has only just started to play together i think we did ok. So now sat arvo is free! but of course i cant do anything the easy way i have just joined the gym (after 3 years of not going, was rather sore when i awoke this morning!!!) and have plans on playing mixed netball on Thursday night. guess i've cut off my tongue to spite my face really. Oh well, just have to knuckle down more and lock myself upstairs in my room a little more often.

As i am working through my ETL501 assignment where critical and analytical skills are required (and i struggle with both, oops) I have found myself critically evaluating websites without even thinking about it. Even the sets of criteria i am using i find myself critically evaluating. I guess that is a good thing! on reflecting, i think i have always subconsciously evaluated websites before letting my kids (school kids that is) loose on them, so to understand in more depth what and why i am doing it is a good thing. Huh, i just realised i think i am enjoying 501, amidst the cursing that i am doing about why i am doing post grad studies.

this weeks readings have gone out the window for me, will do them, but just not this week, a little too distracted with 501 and then 504 the following week. at least they werent due in the same day, thanks james for sorting that out!!!

Think i have procrastinated nicely enough - well break really between evaluating my two sets of criteria. Quite possibly my eyes will have turned slightly square ish by the time both these assignments are over.

Well enough for now...

Thank goodness for spell check on this!!!
