d.i.s.t.r.a.c.t.i.o.n.s.
Was up till 0330 on Thursday double checking and expanding on my learning agreement. Couldn’t sleep after that. The clock’s ticking made it even worse. Woke up at 0730 to get breakfast ready for him and then got myself ready for lectures at 0930. Didn’t want to go back to sleep since I have the bad habit of NOT wanting to wake up. So far, I am glad I hadn’t missed any of the lectures except for the one week I was feeling under the weather.
MGP is having problems now. Sigh. A little to late but what’s done is done I suppose. Now, I still have to write that paragraph that explains the symbol that I came out with. Ugh. Why do I hate writing so much now?
The seminar was quite short that day. A little embarrassed about how I couldn’t relate my research to the reader when Clinton asked about it. I sort of understood it but for some odd reason, I wasn’t able to connect it to my research.
Had to stay back for the feedback on my learning agreement. Waited for an hour and a half for him to get to me and the feedback was kind of short. I kept looking at the clock because I had an appointment to collect my baby from the repair centre at 1800. Thankfully Clinton say it was a better draft. Still need to work on it…
Rushed back, emptied my bag and walked to the bus stop near the flat with him(who had to come back early because there was no gas at the restaurant…lol). @.@ If I hadn’t the warranty, I would have had to pay almost 500 pounds for the repair…yikes
Met up with E, his mum & uncle and J for dinner at Chinatown after that.
Dinner was good and it was E’s treat. I stayed up till 0200 Friday morning, looking at timetables for trains and buses to Luton. Still need him to go ask about taking leave for Christmas.
Slept another 5 hours and woke up to fix breakfast for him. I fell back asleep when he left and dragged myself up around 1030 to get ready for the appointment with Michelle at 1100.
Had reassurances from Michelle about the stuff that I’d done. I seriously need to figure out my ultimate aim for this MA. Hopefully all this messed up research and help from the tutors will make me realize what it is. Sometimes I don’t understand how I got to this point.
Damn, there’s a presentation on Thursday and I haven’t really started sketching out anything proper. After talking to Kathryn about it, was given another perspective to it. Is quite a waste she’s not taking design but I think this psychology thing is not too bad either…
I am currently annoyed with myself for not drawing anymore. Can’t really remember when was the last time I actually sat down with a blank piece of paper and started drawing. Hmm…I think it was before SPM…@.@
Quite stupid of me to not practice. I love drawing or rather used to love it. Argh. What’s with me? Why didn’t I practice? Aren’t I supposed to be creative? Sigh.
Was supposed to go shopping today because he only needed to start work at 1700. Didn’t want to wake up.(again…*hits head*) It was raining and well, after last weekend, I didn’t really feel like it when it’s real crowded with everyone doing their Christmas shopping.
Really need to shop though. Don’t know why I don’t bother doing it myself anymore. Oh well, hopefully he’s off on a day when I don’t have to go for class next week. Another pair of hands to carry stuff…haha
