Ok lets see, last week was the due date for the concepts assignments, my inadequecies in such areas as writing essays lead to a feeling of dissapointment which is one emotion I don’t handle well at all. I did however attempt the assignment and submitted it on time as well, and its hidden away somewhere for the teacher to read and assess. I also wrote a “pretty cool poem” according some of my peers who read it which helped me to feel a bit better about myself.
Back to dissapointment, so from doing a bit of self analysis in the past, I discovered that dissapointment sending me into a spiral of self-destruction and depression. To combat this I decided if I needed to punish myself I would give up smoking cigarettes, in essence creating a positive negative.
So all week I have been on Twitter distracting myself from the cravings of nicotine withdrawal, combating the lonliness of depression and generally using it as a release mechanism for all the frustrations I have been feeling this week.
I have finally overcome this temporary insanity, and am ready to start doing some meaningful work with my study again. I have avoided writing on the discussion board this week also, though I have been reading it and am only 200 posts behind the 8 ball, though some of them would be quite outdated by now so would have no context and others would be irrrelevent to my learning, like the (Mac users United) thread for instance, seeing as I don’t have a Mac.
I have written my participation assessment, though have not submitted it yet. The essay assignment is done and submitted (so too late to change that now) so I suppose I should be doing some revision of my blog, and tidying up any loose ends or crazy misperceptions I have had throughout this blog writing experience. Its been quite a journey.
