Pod's mum Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's 4 o'clock in the morning. I haven't gone to bed yet and I have an essay due in 12 hours. And. It's. Not. Coming. Together. I've just counted up and in 7 years I've completed only 5 subjects (out of 24). There have been a few withdrawals. I think I'm over this. I will get this essay done, but I truly, really do not care any more about quality. I'm marathoning on getting through this last subject now. Yes this is why I've been on the board A LOT lately. Essay avoidance. Just want to finish up here and head back out of town again. For various reasons. Someone recently asked aren't I a bit old to be studying. I said no. I may have been wrong. There, had my whine. Back to trying to sort pages of confusion into...something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Maybe a few hours of sleep would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod's mum Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Maybe a few hours of sleep would help. Yep had a couple. Can't say I like what is before me any more but the last batch of caffine has had some more proccessing time if nothing else. Thank you BTDT. I was always last minute. I always pulled it together, but always last minute. And I swore up and down I'd never do that again, but I didn't learn. LOL Best of luck to you! Same here. Every time. Gets a bit worn that track doesn't it? I can't believe I fall for it each time. Madness is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results. (or something similar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yes this is why I've been on the board A LOT lately. Essay avoidance.

Starr Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The race can be won. Finished is better than fabulous and half completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod's mum Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Two hours to go and I finally have a 1st draft appropriate word count etc. Whoo Hooo Now to go back over notes and fill in dozens of references. I have actually been reading and noting for this for ages and trying trying to get into it. Anyway, looks like something similar to a University level essay will get sent, barring IT glitches. Touching timber.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod's mum Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not that you care, but hey I've counted your laundry baskets and trash bags, essay sent, with 25 mins to spare. Which does mean I could have included a couple more references. She'll do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod's mum Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I am doing a Bachelor of Education, Primary. Through Curtin University (Perth Australia). the course is fully online apart from the internships. I am hoping to be finished early next year, finishing my final internship half way thought next year. what are you studying? Hello, back again. I'm studying 'reading for' a BA with Open Universities Australia. I did an early unit through Murdoch, (Perth Australia), one through Griffith (Queensland), and the rest through Macquarie, (Syndney, NSW). I've completed 5 subjects, and am over 1/2 way through this one and withdrew partway through 3 others. So in 7 years, I'm 1/2 way through 1st year (of 3). Most have been Ancient History but this is my 2nd Philosophy unit. At this stage I can still choose a 'stream' through Macquarie. Or drop and run. Again. Edited to cut out personal info. Cos I can.

Melissa in Australia Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 HI, I have tried several times to send you a pm, but it isn't working so I will post the info here. I am also studying through Open Uni ~Curtin. I have 3 electives and I was thinking of doing some of the ancient history units that open uni offers. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on some that are really interesting. Please. Oh, and do they have exams. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
