Here comes half term!
Today is the last day of work before the assignment hand in date, and so far it’s going really well. I started the day confident that I didn’t have too much work to do and that I would easily complete the work I had to do and have the rest of the day to polish of the assignment and make sure I have everything pieced together. I would have thought that at the start of this day I would be in panic, stress and rushing around to get this assignment completed to submission standard. But in fact I wasn’t in any stress or panic and I certainly wasn’t rushing around, I was almost relaxed as I was satisfied that the majority of work that had to be completed wasn’t major, and was just little picky points. This was a great relief to me and helped me get through the day with out any worry or major problems.

The day consists of basically checking for spelling and grammar errors, and general checks that all of the work expected has been completed and gathered together ready for submission, I did expect these jobs to be basic and quick tasks but I soon found out that this wasn’t the case, I under estimated the amount of time that is needed to do tasks such as these but this is what we were told to plan for and to complete the assignment to a certain extent before the last day so that you did in fact leave your self a spare extra day to complete these checks.

When I printed my final documents out and gave them a read through, I instantly started to pile up the errors and little problems that can easily be left that way if you don’t thoroughly check through the work. When I notice all of these errors though I didn’t feel pressured as I had plenty of time to correct the mistakes so my overall mood was still relaxed.

As the end of the day nears, my mood is getting brighter and brighter and great amounts of weight feels like they are being lifted form my shoulders as I put my work together ready for hand in, its such a great relief experiencing this knowing that your confident in the work created and confident that all you have to do on hand in date is walk into college and hand your work over.

I left college that day believing that I had completed all of the work I had set my self for the day and left extremely proud of the work I assignment I had achieved, me and the college peers had also organised a trip to the pub after the hand in time which I was looking forwards too, you could call it team bonding but what ever you may call it I found it interesting as I hadn’t spent time with my college peers outside of college before and not having work being on the agenda .

Overall a productive day and a satisfying experience and I leave today just having to burn a disc containing my work and tying all of my folders together ready for hand in. Jamie
