Where has the time gone!

So here we are, only a couple of weeks before the deadline for the first essay and I find myself a little unprepared to say the least.  I thought that it would probably be a good idea to try and put down some kind of account as to how I have spent the time up to this point... after all that is the reason for this blog!

I have done nothing.  Yes, I am indeed afraid that that is the truth.  As a defense I would state that I do not consider myself to be lazy, or even unmotivated in this course, but I have found it difficult to set aside sufficient time to work on this course whilst performing my normal duties within my various jobs.

I offer no excuse, there is none other than a shortage of time.  I think that it is a case of value and I have not been able to place a high enough value on the completion of this essay above that of my responsibility to earn a living.  I fear that this I do indeed find myself in a similar predicament to that of the students in my classes and as such I find that I am learning something at least!

Today is the day though, this is where I will begin to tackle this eassy properly and aim to have it done within the week...
