Starting to relax again with the courses

I’m almost at the end of something of a marathon of assignments and will be back to just doing the normal course work in about 10 days time.

I’ve been accelerating my path through the degree this year in what seemed to be a really easy way to go about it. All I needed to do was to slot in two short courses a year and I’d be able to trim at least a year off the completion date. What I’d not allowed for was the logjam of assignments that can sometimes happen when you do multiple courses.

This year was originally going to be “just” two 30 point courses at this point but I thought that I’d slot in an interesting little course on cardiovascular diseases and then figured that as a sort-of insurance against my maths being that little bit too far in the past I added in the maths for science course. Unfortunately, the net effect of all that is that I’ve assignments from all four courses due over the next 10 days. Now, I’m not crazy enough to do all four in the one week so I’ve been spacing them out but even so that’s meant almost five weeks solid of assignment work which is kind of tiring to put it mildly.

Still, at least the cardiovascular course is now complete and the maths course will be finished in a couple of weeks. That leaves the only remaining conflicts being around the exam for the biology course, albeit that’s a big conflict!
