This week we were given opportunity to prepare oral presentations ahead of our assignments at the end of the term and to practice these with our peers. Once again, I am unable to participate because my current work demands have been so high. There have been a number of events this term beyond my control that have thrown me into disarray, but work has been exceptionally demanding recently. I am beginning to worry that I am falling behind on coursework and not gaining the full benefit of the weekly discussions and peer work.

At the moment, I am using every available moment of my free time to work on my studies but there is simply not enough time in a day. I have had to prioritise certain parts of the course that I feel are most important: the live brief, as this is part of work within a group; getting out and taking the photographs that I need for my project this term; attending my individual tutorials and also webinars where possible, watching recorded materials as I can, and doing some of the contextual research and reading in the time that is left.
