Hmmm, I'm trying desperately to make up the time I lost in my online studies while I was sick. My online program is fairly tight for time anyway, and now I need to catch up as soon as possible otherwise I will be trailing behind for ever.
I'm putting in time every evening, and even sometimes at lunchtime. My big problem is that I get caught up by the study, and I don't want to go back to work issues in the afternoon. However, I don't have the kind of job where I can work and think of other things at the same time, so I need to get through all this stuff and go back to my normal work and study routines.
Fortunately we are coming up to Easter, so I'm going to forego a day of the holiday and make sure that I'm entirely up to date. I can't wait, it will be so good to get rid of the feeling of guilt all the time.
Back to the grindstone of getting on with my online programme. I've just started another new online course, part of the preparation for research. Actually I've also started research, so I'm sort of torn between the two, and of course I mostly want to get into my topic so that I can bury myself in the reading - my favorite bit of any study.
Although like everyone else I find it hard to make myself start studying, I'm fine once I settle down, and at the moment I find that I don't want to finish. Yesterday I did around four hours on the trot; I only surfaced when my cat decided that she had had enough of waiting to be fed, and came to sit on the keyboard as a gentle reminder that I had other duties.
