Down to the last three weeks!!! Have I planned my time correctly??

Crikey I don't really know where to begin but it seems rather apt to want to shout a bunch of profanities *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEP. I am down to the last 3 weeks (including this week) of construction and guess what....I'm away for a week of that. Good job I've been keeping myself on track in my diary and planning my days. My diary looks something like this!

  

The last 12 weeks look something like these pages...Epic planning even documenting why I couldn't complete a task or when Ryan was poorly and I couldn't get into college. Despite being a 'grown up' and a mommy, planning my time has never been my strong point. I'm usually happy to do a lot of procrastinating and then panic at the last minute. At the start of the HND I very much had this outlook but I soon realised I wasn't going to pass my first year by procrastinating and expecting my tutors manage my time. Daphne's Diary you have saved my life!

Check me out working....I actually feel like a real fashion designer  or a contestant on the Great British Sewing Bee haha!! I wish..It's nothing like it and far too much paperwork involved. The middle photograph (Thanks Jo for snapping me) is me on the industrial overlocker...The machine of nightmares. Its super fast, super super fast and as it binds your raw edge it slices it at the same time to neaten it off. It's a scary machine to operate but I really wanted to embrace it and grow my confidence using it. So far so good...Few slip ups when I pressed the pedal down too quickly as the the motor quickened and it ate my fabric. Ooooops!

 

I must say I'm beginning to really feel the pressure of the impending deadline and how much work I've got to do in such little time and I could easily chuck the towel in and give up, perhaps not even return to Yr 2 in September but then I come home to this face and remember part of why I am doing this...For my little boy. I want him to look at his mummy and at least say...She tried her best. Abi xx
