Been A While

Its Been a while since last updated, but it has been an intesive week! Had One assignment from each unit due in the space of a week, starting to feel drained of energy!
I've Handed in two assignments now, and ive now had another 2 set in their place, just seems to be never ending. Ive had 3 assignments back and marked, Anna's Unit 8 P1 e-commerce came back with all the grading criteria met, the same with Davids - Unit 11, which i struggled with, and I met Maura's Unit 3 M1. I have also handed in Anna's P2 and P3 Assignment, which im hoping will also come back with all the grading criteria, The same with Pauls Unit 2 Assignment which I spent so much time on.
Hopefully i'll manage to get on top of all these Assignments there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel... Christmas!
Other than Diploma i've also had a few Law Essays due in which im hoping come back good, one of my major problems last year was my essay technique, and I think thats what brought me down in the exam, so this year im trying to work on that.
Im looking forward to varsity day on the 8th December, a day off college to catch up on the last of all my work before we break up for the Christmas Holidays.

Half Term!

Half Term =)
No rest for the wicked though, During the day I'm at work, and in the evening I'm working through college assignments, need to keep up with them!
Thats the thing with half terms and the holidays is that just as I get back in to working during the week instead of college I start to enjoy it, especially the pay! Then before I know it I'm back to college!

Feeling good about college, better than last year, my work is turning out good and seem to be enjoying it, feeling confident and hope that its stay like this through the rest of the course!
I've realised that I really wanna go to university and although its a bit early to be thinking about it, but I wanna start looking  now its alot of money to spend on something so want to make sure make the right descision!

My List Of Things To Do For The Half Term:
1. 2nd Draft Of Unit 11 Systems Analysis Assignment
2. Second Draft of Unit 8 e-commerce
3. 1st Draft of Unit 2 computer Systems

Which all Equals to, a lot of work!(:

My Technology break is almost over, only been a weeks it was a bit short lived! Well it has been good I have been able to catch up on all my work and now currently I am work free. 
College is starting to get a bit tiring theres to many changes going on, a new timetable on tuesday and looks like there will be another by the end of the week. Louis has left too so now we have a new teacher on the way, we now have Nader as a teacher on first impressions I thought that I wasnt gonna like his lessons very much, but he is actually very funny, better than Louis!
Whats up with this weather to one day everyones shivering and wearing winter jumpers, the next they are wearing shorts and t-shirts I cant keep up with it all! 
Assignment List:
  • E-commerce First Draft 
  • Unit 11 Assignment 1 First Draft

Technology Break

Im having a break from technology and social networking, not by choice but the fact my blackberrys broke :/ im using a brick to text! might be good to have a break for a little while, just goes to show how much you use and rely on internet accesible phones! Not been a good week all round in the world of technology, Steve Jobs died along with my phone! The reaction to his death really shows how much technology plays in the life of people these days.
All of my assignments are up to date im shocked that I have managed to cope so well with all these courseworks, got another two due in for this friday! Im really enjoying college this year more than I did this time last year, I had a really unbeweavable law lesson today, the best yet! Got a good week ahead planned off being a tourist on wednesday around london, Chinatown, Tchocodiros and MnM world (mmm) then coming home and working on these courseworks so I can relax at the weekend.
Looking forward to christmas this year I think that the run up to christmas is better than christmas day itself, hope we get some good weather this year, a bit of snow would be greatly appreciated, cant keep up with this messed up!
HALF TERM 2 WEEKS!

Short week after a long weekend!

Had such a good weekend! Struggling to find that mix between business and pleasure, Socialising and college work basically! In such a good mood today, got a 3 day week this week, which is also helping! Was such a relief on friday when I handed in my first draft of my coursework for David, now I just have to keep up with it and make sure all the coursework are handed in by there due date, got two more deadlines for this friday, one of them is almost done and the other one is all prepared for, looks like my days off arnt gonna be as I had first hoped. So the first thing I dobe ob the computer this morning and checked my PLP, was happy to see my attendence at 100 % hoping to keep that going throughout the year.
One thing I realised this weekend is how much I rely on my FREE oyster card! Its true you never know what youve got till its gone,  its like freedom has been taken! Well its gone but hopefully not for long TFL annoy me so much they have had my oyster card for 3 weeks now and still they havent sent me it back, all I can say is thank god the train pass still works at half price otherwise I would not be happy paying £33 pound a week just getting to college.
Really cant wait for next may im gonna be 18, I feel like such a baby at the moment all my friends seem to be turning 18 I feel left behind :/! I just dont see why, seeing as christmas starts in september now with all the shops putting decorations up and selling christmas stuff why I cant start celebrating my birthday in january! didnt go down well with my mum! LOL

Running Late!

Since being back it has been crazy! Work coming from all directions and there still no let up!
Managing to keep up to date with it all just about, still getting use to these numerous timetables, the only day I have got to grips with is wedensday and thats because im not in college! Got two assignment deadlines coming up, one im not worried about I understand to some exent, the other well... im working on it.
Really been thinking hard these last couple of days what I want to do after college, as all my friends leave home to go to thier universities, its making me think what I want to do when I leave, not sure if im ready for the outside world! Got me thinking, what if I dont have a choice where I go, im worried that i might make the same mistakes as last year, even though im trying my hardest not to.

New Year

First day back after 9 weeks off, bit surreal, feels like yesterday I was counting down the hours till my last exam, funny how the time flies. So I had just finished sitting my exams and I thought ive got the whole summer to enjoy life and what happened? I ended up working 8-5, 5 days a week :/!
Anyways back to normality and back from the adult working world that I have lived in for the last 9 weeks and im back already to start back as a teenager for a whole new year, and another run up to more exams, a never ending circle, thats education! Hopefully this year will be as good as the last (Just with better results).

Doing another Diploma and upragading it from Level 2 to Level 3, so far proving harder than I thought, its very daunting, how the skills I learnt in the last Diploma had been lost somewhere in my mind, hopefully i'll find it again sooner rather than later. Hopefully this year i'll get all D's this year (The D's that mean Distinction and not D than mean Fail!). So I decided to carry on with A2 Law, my favourite A-level subject last year, there's hoping I improve my grade this time. Was really happy to cross of Chemistry off of my subject list, what a relief that was.

Gonna try hard this year I need to improve my grades, last year I was pretty lazy and then about 4 weeks before the exams I bucked up my idea's and it was to little to late, this year im not going to make the same mistake again.
Goal 1: Get the Grades I want instead of settling for second best!
