Well

Maybe, eventually, I will become a regular blogger. But a lot of the time there doesn't seem like much to say - unless I was to rant about how much there is to do and how little time in which I have to do it. The stress of parenting, the stress of planning a wedding, and the stress of studying full time and trying to keep the house orderly as well.
June is almost upon us. And I am so excited because its time for SoCNoC! the first in what will hopefully become one of many. It's basically like Nanowrimo, but for the southern hemisphere. Fitting in with our current not so pleasant weather and middle of the year exams rather than end of the year ones which are often more heavy. I have lots of plans, and lots of hope for this novel - but I do have to get through my two exams first.
I can hardly believe that the first half of the uni year is almost done. It's also scary knowing that very soon I am going to have so many new assignments and papers to do that it's very possible I will lose my sanity by years end.
Oh well!
I decided just recently that I want to start my Masters next year. But that all relies on me maintaining a B/B+ average for the year.... which, is kind of a scary prospect seeing as there is such a huge volume of work for me to make my way through - of course I'd have to load my second semester so heavily right?? It was the only way in which I could finish my degree this year, which was a really big desire for me. Now I have to not only finish it, but I have to pass well enough to be accepted into the Masters programme.
Of course, typical me, I leave it until after I have done some half assed attempts at a couple assignments, meaning there is yet more pressure to perform on the upcoming exams than there was previously....
And there is the novel right. I should just say no, I'm not doing it!! But I simply can't.... I was involved in the set up, and I need to see this through. There is no way I will be doing a novel in November, so it's now or not this year at all.
I thrive on pressure. I love to overload myself, but that doesn't mean it's good for me.
Eventually, I am going to realise there is an easier way to get stuff done than all at the same time. Fingers crossed though, that I'll pull this year off and get the right results.
