To hold myself accountable, I’ll start posting weekly goals.

I know I already update on ROW80 progress, but I need a list to tick off and I need to be able to keep track.

So this week, I need to do:

• Write & Submit CCC502 Assignment #3 by 25/02
• Attend TTIP seminar on 25/02
• Complete Cultural Studies Module #2 by 26/02
• Complete International Development Module #1 by 27/02
• Write & Submit MA501 Assignment #3 by 28/02
• Complete Theatre & Globalisation Module #2 by 28/02
• Complete Filmmaking Module #2 & #3 by 01/03
• Complete Global Health & Humanitarianism Module #1 by 01/03
• Write 2 short stories
• Update ROW80 Wednesday
• Write Weekend Coffee Share on Saturday
• Update ROW80 Sunday
• Schedule next week’s blog posts
• Read The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss

No stress then. And that’s not counting part-time work. Good thing I like learning. The above list might look daunting, but in fairness, that’s less than I had to do per week for homework at Grammar School. Modules will come and go. Some weeks there’ll be more, some weeks there’ll be less. Some of these only last 3 weeks, other last 8 weeks.

I managed to get MA501 Assignment #2 handed in yesterday and already got it back: 100% (A)! So that’s really keeping me motivated.

I also completed Theatre & Globalisation Module #1 yesterday. Luckily, all the modules require only 3 hours on average, so they’re easy to space out over the week.

I’ll let you know in my ROW80 Update on Sunday how I got on. Should you not hear from me until then you know the drill: prod with stick and douse in coffee, that usually does the trick.
