Time to relax

After 3 weeks of stress, what with working on all my papers for school and my lectures for my class i finally get to relax.  Phew!  School is out for grad school and in Benilde the next few weeks are for consultation by my students.  I can finally catch up on my sleep.

I look back at the sem that was and I can honestly say, I enjoyed going back to school as a student.  Fulfilling requirements was difficult, for sure, but not insurmountable.  I am optimistic about getting a good grade from my professors.  My only worry, if any, would be with my org. culture class because our professor in that subject was more distant with the students than the other professors.

For our ICT class we had to organize a seminar for our final requirement and submit a book report.  The last sounds very high school, I know, but that is what Dr. Garcia asked for.

For our Research Seminar 1 class Sir Dodi had us write three chapters of a research paper.  At the beginning of the semester he told me to write a qualitative research paper so I had to think of a topic that would require qualitative research.  Thankfully I was able to think of something fairly early and had time to work on it and submit on time.

For our Org. Culture class Sir Don's final requirement was a case study analysis and a communication plan.   Yes, in essence TWO papers.  We had only 10 days to work on it.  Thankfully I was able to submit on Day 9.

With all that paperwork ahead of me, I decided to start working on them as early as I can.  Good thing I did!  I still needed time to work on my lectures for my WebDev1 class.  Part of what I do to prepare for class is to create a "for dummies" instruction sheet on how to execute and use different webdev tricks on Dreamweaver for my kids.

I get about two weeks of rest and it is back to school and work for me.  Hello, summer class!

Buried in work

Stress, we meet again, old friend. It's been a while since you've been on my back.

I won't deny it, I find you exhilirating and motivating on one end, yet tiring at the same time.

And you had to bring your friend, Writer's Block, with you, didn't you? Just to make it more challenging for me? So here I am writing you a letter instead of working, just to de-stress for a tiny bit.

I'm glad I was able to finish that research paper for Research Seminar 1 (under Sir Dodi Dizon) with days to spare. And that I had time to study for the final exam. I also finished my book review on Inventing The Internet for my Information and Communication Technology class (under Dr. Malou Garcia) with more than a week to submission. So now I have only 10 days left to work on the case study analysis and the communication plan for my Org. Culture class (under Sir Don Bernarte). I'm doing my best not to freak out! I know that if I keep calm I will be able to do it.

I still need to work on my lecture for this Thursday at Benilde. My topics are DIVs, rollover, and spry. I haven't done CSS code in a while so I need to refresh soon and fast!

Ok, Stress, you are starting to get to me again. Here's the deal, I'll acknowledge you are there, you push me to do well and complete my work on time, and I promise not to go and do something crazy. Deal?

While we are at it, could you please tell your friend, Writer's Block, that I need to work now, so to please leave me? Thank you.
