Thank goodness M Kaz has finished her assignments for this TAFE intake. She has been like a bear with a sore head as she worked to get her assignments finished … and the other Mummy was a “study widow” for hours, nay days, at a time.
I did what I could to help her … I stayed in there to encourage her, to remind her to take regular breaks, helped her eat her snacks, sat on her papers to stop them blowing away – it’s been so hot she’s had the fan blowing like a tornado in there – and just being a good study buddy generally … but it wasn’t enough to help her from getting very very stressed. And it’s not like she left everything to the last minute – no, she was studying consistently right from the start of the intake. She even made sure she wasn’t taking on too much study – she didn’t pre-enroll in the next subjects like she often does.
The problem was the subject with the computer coding … she couldn’t get it to work at first and then when she did, the debugging wouldn’t work. She did a lot of reading and researching on the internet but try as she might, she couldn’t work it out. Thank goodness for tutors. She finally called hers on Friday afternoon and he was able to do up a video to show her how the debugging worked. Once she had that, she was much happier and she was able to zip through the rest of the assignment that afternoon.
Yep, bear with a sore head. It’s good that she sent her assignments in yesterday so life can get back to normal around here … until her next unit starts anyway.
