Well that's it, it has been sent off. I was foolish to plan a trip leaving 2 days before the deadline. Working to an imaginary deadline was extremely difficult for me, so I am extremely proud of my achievement!
It will be an interesting experience when I get my feedback as for the first time in many years, I have absolutely no idea what to expect. The course is B322, and is my second course with the OU Business School. This one is very different to the previous one though, and I found this first assignment to be quite difficult.
I believe I will be spending the next few days sleeping, serving only to put me behind in my studies once again. It's a bit of a cycle that I seem to get stuck in every time, however good my intentions.
It's interesting that I said I would have that feeling of relief at having sent the assignment. I had forgotten, but that is not actually the case for me. I do get that feeling, but it is always accompanied by this all-encompassing fear that I have attached the wrong file. Even though I always clearly label the file, and open and close it a thousand times to be certain, I remain in a heightened state of anxiety until I receive feedback confirming that it was indeed the correct file. It is a saving grace that I am currently too tired to feel the full impact of this emotion, which means I am able to sit still for long enough to write this post. Incidentally, I still do not have a reason for beginning this 'blogging' experience. It is a form of experimentation at the moment, and as I am still intrigued by the whole concept, it seems to be maintaining my interest for the time being.
When I have some more time on my hands I will find some other blogs to read, to see what everyone else likes to write about. I'm sure that will be the ultimate time thief for me!
First assignment done
