Hurrah.
I've been putting this off for about 5 days now. Everyday it was pretty much like, "ok today I have too much to do, so I'll start tomorrow..." and tomorrow became tomorrow which became tomorrow... Etc. But FINALLY, I've forced myself to make a start at least, despite having notes to do after lectures, dates to see people, work to go to, AND fitting in precious 'me' time... It's really no joke when people say juggling work, school and social life is difficult because it really is - especially when you're aiming to do well. I have a classmate who juggles all of that PLUS childcare for her 2 kids. Respect out there to all those studying and working mothers.
So my first piece of coursework is my economics based one. Not really one I would like to start my masters degree with =/, economics is so new to me, I've never touched on anything to do with economics before so it's a really grey area. I have to conduct some STEEPLE analysis on a supermarket of my choice. I chose Waitrose because I know everyone will do Tesco haha. Waitrose is more interesting in terms of environment, ethical and social factors anyway. So this is due 11th November, I have 3 other pieces of coursework due AND I need to consider what I'm doing for my project as well... Masters is really no joke. It's so tough already T___T.
Today I had a really crazy day, the rain made travelling to uni really stressful, my tube came like 10 minutes late and so I barely made it into class. Luckily I have a classmate who lives in the same area and I happened to bump into her on the platform. After the 1st 3-hour lecture, I had 30 mins to grab some lunch - which happened to be just some chips from McDonalds. Headed to my next 3 hour lecture which ended early, got back to Hounslow and bought some crisps from Tesco - I was starving at this point and it would take another 10-20 minutes to get home by bus so desperate measures had to be taken even if I was sacrificing my health for junk food. Got home finally and made myself some dinner, showered, ate, then sat down with some green tea and powered on with my coursework. So I pretty much had a non-stop day today. I slept ridiculously early yesterday so I guess I have heaps of energy right now after a 12 hour sleep. Only now am I satisfied with the amount of work done so I have a few hours of 'me' time which I'm really glad about.
TL;DR - Masters is hard and I'm failing at keeping to personal deadlines to start my coursework - I need more self-discipline or else I'll be in trouble!
