group work

This image depicts how our group work usually starts. 

Last week we had a meeting on wednesday at 13.15 - lunch break. It started off with ordering food from sizzlers - small chips for everyone except for Junior. He ordered a flavored fizzy drink. We started work an hour later. We concentrated for not longer than an hour on the project and somehow ended up on a group of guys baking this large oreo (tanielle's fav video). 

This week, I'm on a family holiday.

 I've been communicating and contributing my work via dropbox. Tanielle has been one of the best project managers I've ever worked with, I really hope she doesn't stress too much. I'm also trying to catch up on work. I should of utilized the break but procrastination always seem to sweep over and I'm always stuck in this position of regret. 

I've also started to try and implement this. I'm constantly finding myself making the same mistakes and … at the end of the day, i don't want to be stuck at university my whole life/ an extended time.

Time Management

I've been pretty stressed but i think thats good. I have work on monday, wednesday (if theres no group meetings) and weekends. My job has actually helped me organised my time better. I'm forced to use time that I have to study where as I usually just sit around and procrastinate and then never actually get to the work. I've also read that making lists of what I have to do also helps.

It actually calms me down when I have it written down like 'thats all lisa. time to focus!' because I find that when its in my mind, I'm usually freaking out because I make it 'bigger' than it is. 

UPDATE: I'm surprisingly passing accounting and ECOS:D I'm so scared for these subjects!

OMG

i'm not too happy with my test mark as i got 47.  i thought i understood what was being asked...but i guess i didn't. i think i need more practise in the way i answer questions. i found that during test 1, i spent more than 15mins on the first question and wrote to much.
i'm actually terrified of information systems right now. i know this is really wrong but i thought i could depend on my theory marks to pull up my non-existent coding marks but really i'm in the same place i was in last year which was what i was trying to avoid.
hopefully test 2 will be better - fingers crossed.
