Ulog No. 17: "Course Assignments and Volleyball"

I was relieved that I did not have to go to work yesterday. I spent 6 hours finishing two assignments for my course Diploma in Early Childhood Education, so I was able to submit it at 3:30 PM. My lecturer also gave me an extension until the end of this term (which is Friday next week) for my other assignment. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel with this course. Two more clusters and I am finally done!

A cluster is a group of assessments for a particular course unit.

After my appointment with my lecturer, I headed to the University library to return four books. I am also enrolled in a university to get the full qualification as an Early Childhood Teacher. Basically, at this stage, I am enrolled in two entirely different educational institutions taking up two slightly similar courses, only one is Diploma, whereas the other one is a bachelor degree. With the latter, I am hoping to finish it by 2020 or 2021.

Realistically, I cannot afford to have school holidays because of the demands of my studies. However, for my sanity's sake, I need to unwind and rest my mind for a little bit, so sometimes, I do tend to procrastinate. It's not a good habit, though. Before I reward myself with luxuries in life, such as holidays or just spending my time in front of the TV, I should finish an assignment first. That's my way of motivating myself, but sometimes the flesh takes over and I just want to sleep for longer hours or watch TV.

Anyway, I was quite pleased with what I had accomplished yesterday:

By the way, whilst I was working on my assignments, I still managed to exchange comments with @futuremind, @mariannewest, Professor Geofrrey Bananington, Ph.D of @bananamemos, and @dynamicshine on Steemit, which was great!

Then, the most awaited Volleyball finals started at 6 PM. My husband couldn't play because he was working, but at least our team was complete with 6 players. Everyone gave their best shot and played really well. It was a very competitive game, of course, both teams wanted to win the Finals!

It was a close game.

We played a great game and we did not give up until the last point. It was not the results that we wanted though. Our team lost by the narrowest of margins in 5 sets, but we are still proud of how we played the entire season. The opposing team played better at the end. Nevertheless, I am still happy because I received a "runner-up" medal - my first medal ever for a sports competition.
