All Talk..No Trousers. Is that what they say?

Well it's the last week of our holidays now and unfortunately I regret to say that this is the first chance I have had to work. I started the holidays with a mind set off working through them. Rather than having a heavy week of work, I wanted to spread the work load through out the three weeks. But unfortunately I have had to work the majority of the holidays so far, day and night. And the little time I had between I felt obliged to spend a little time with my girlfriend as she was on her holidays too, and hadn't seen a snip of me.

Luckily however apart from the odd time this week where I have a shift, I have requested a week off, to study, and my girlfriends holidays are over and she has now gone back to University which leaves me with a week free to get some work done. By any means it's not what I wanted to happen, having to cram work into one week, but it's how it has to be, so all I can do is get on with it and do my best. I feel terrible now this week is here however as it's a pressure week as a result of not having completed any work.

My main concern is going back to college, and everyone has completed a shed load of work, with not much else to complete for the assignment, and I'm left with a mass of work. Looking through blogs it looks like this is a reality, as many people have worked successfully through the holidays, which ad's a little more pressure onto me. But I'm determined to help my self and use this time, so I shall see how I do, and hopefully I wont be too far behind people when I return to college next week. Jamie

At the end of the day a holiday is a holiday to relax, have a break and enjoy. As long as you have done your own time planning for the duration of the assignment it makes no difference if other people are in front of you or not.

I for one didn't think about college for 2 weeks and neither was the 2 weeks included in my timeplan. It has been a nice break though and now it's time to crack on with the job in hand.

Well if you put it that way, it sounds much better. I didn't plan for the holidays, I saw it as a big chance to get way ahead of schedule, so in terms of the assignment, I'm haven't put my self behind. Cheers Dean

As long as your on target for the assignment its alright and I wouldn't worry.

Look at the last assignment, people finished early and handed their assignments in earlier than others and their marks reflected it.

With today been the last day before we're back in college if you still have work to do then don't try and rush it as chances are you'll end up spending more time fixing the problems.

Yeah that's a good point. I have found that because I have been keeping an eye on blogs and looking at peoples work, it's making me rush tasks. But if im comfortable with where I am that's fine. Cheers
