rubbish time

Well it's been a hectic week or two... I haven't even looked at my coursework!

I recieved my marks for my first biology assignment - merit not distinction! poo! my 1st choice university needs distinctions throughout. I need to step up my game.. I have spoken to my tutor and all it was was that I didn't put a bibliography at the end. I explained that I didn't think we needed it for general questions I thought it was just for essays and reports! So I may be able to just add it at the end?

As I said... not a good couple of weeks. My dad was taken to the hospital for more tests to see if his latest treatment had worked but there were more lumps, which they have taken bits from to test. So we just need to wait for another appointment date to go find out what is going on! He might have to have an opperation to remove all his bladder and everything! Arhg don't really want to think about it. I also found out my car had FOUR flat tyres and got a lecture from the guy in the garage for ages :( .. went swimming left my bank card there.. someone tried to use it.. nearly got a parking ticket for waiting outside the leisue center while ian ran in and grabbed it for me. Then me and Jakob got a cold (think it was from the cold pool ;() Jakob keeps throwing up I woke up this morning there was like well it looked like poo all down him but smelt of sick... this has never happened to my baby I'm really worried :(

On a better note me and Jakob saw a friend of mine have acupuncture ... Jakob looked panicked and kept trying to climb up on the table lol bless him I think he was trying to save her.

Today is rubbish.... it's Jakobs first day at a childminder and I'm trying not to cry!!! I just feel like I'm betraying him and he's going to hate me and stuff it's so strange. We decided to take him once a week as I'm falling so behind on my work so this gives me 4/5 hours on a thursday morning to try and get as much done as possible!! lol thought some people I know doing the course are doing at least that much EVERYDAY.. and I have extra modules to do :( and it all has to be distinctions :(

ARRRRGH xxx

Comms Distinctions!

Well I found out that the job I applied for got taken down the day after I stayed up late to apply. Thank God!!! I was so tempted to go to bed and leave it for another day too! I can't believe it went down nearly 4 weeks early, it was only up a couple of days. I'm always scouting NHS Jobs and have never caught one go on then offline so fast.. imagine how many people must have replied!!!

Well.... My tutor phoned... I got two distinctions for my first module... top marks.... an 'excellent' student.. apparently. Well we will see as time goes by but she said some very lovely things... kept going on about how well I would do at uni etc she is so lovely it's a shame she takes so long to mark! lol but yep.. definately happy with my distinctions. Now I just need to get cracking with some more :s

Struggling with bio unit 5... It's always time time timeee. I keep putting off phoning a childminder as I don't want to let go of my baby boy. Even for one afternoon a week. I may have to soon though, picked up my dad from the hospital today with what looks like bad results but we will know more in two weeks. However he may need a life changing operation and even so more chemo and radiotherepy etc... not good ... he loves seeing Jakob but soon I wont be able to leave them on their own he won't be well enough... so that's less time to study. Yes.. really need to phone a childminder soon,...

Applied for a job!

So... I'm tired. I stayed up late last night applying for a job on the NHS website. As a midwifery assistant. How amazing would it be to get that job! You don't have to be qualified as it's just an assistant.. so I bet there will be a LOT of interest. Plus it's the only 'midwifery assistant' job on the whole of NHS jobs at the moment... so... I doubt I will hear anything back :(

I am meant to be writing about the endocrine organs at the moment.. and it's a shame because it's lovely and sunny outside and the living room where I am doing my work is at the back of the house where there isn't as much sun and when I just went to put Jakob for a nap in his room all the sunlight was flooding in and I was tempted to switch all the furniture and turn his room into the living room before Ian comes home from work today LOL.

Well I have been emailed THREE different people from my course and have yet to get a reply from ANY of them... and I need to know what is happening and when any of my work will get marked!!
