Timekeeping Horror

During my third week of HND Multimedia I have been working on my assignment, both at home and at college. I have also done some self study work that I think will help me during the course. I think I am starting to settle into the course now, and I have made a few friends. I am still a bit nervous around the people in the class that I don’t really talk to. I was late to class this afternoon which didn’t go well with my teacher. I was sent out of class and had to work in the library. I felt quite surprised actually, as I was only late by a minute or so, although I expected this punishment when I realised I was late. My teacher is strict with time keeping.

I am starting to feel the pile of work crop up now, as it’s far more advanced than the last course I did. On Monday I was stressed because of the amount of work I had to do and the little time I had to do it with. This was partly works fault as I was supposed to have Monday and Tuesday off for self-study but I was called into work instead which gave me less time for self study. I didn’t feel like I was going to complete it all. Another thing that bothered me was the fact that Steve had let the other two pupils that were late take their group meetings and he made me miss out. I felt like I had let my group down and that the other groups had got away with it. I am also a little let down to the fact that I am not the only person who knows how to use Flash. I thought I had a head start on things.

To improve my week I could try to get to lessons on time. I am not usually late but I have had a close call and a late already so I must be careful with my time keeping. I should also space my self-study work out more instead of relying on the last two days of the week to complete it. I could also try to interact with more members of the class that I have hardly talked to, which would make me less nervous around other people.
