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.
Is that Mark Gatiss as in the Doctor Who and Sherlock writer? Or another one?
I really ought to start doing something like this as well. I’m discovering that full-time work, part-time uni, writing and doing a musical is hard to fit in.

Yes, that’s the actor/screenwriter Mark Gatiss! He’s written several books, a lot of them on Doctor Who, but Vesuvius Club was his debut novel. I really like it so far, I like his sense of humour!

Cool! I’ll have to check it out. I knew he’d written some of the Doctor Who tie-ins, but not that he’d started writing his own original stuff.

Vesuvius Club came out in 2005, the other two books in the Lucifer Box series in 2007 and 2009 I think. And he wrote James Whale’s biography.
And good luck, looks like you’ve got a pretty busy schedule as well!

I’ve got the first one reserved at my library now. Going by the summary on GoodReads, it sounds like great fun!

I’m only about 30 odd pages in, but so far it’s a fun read. Let me know what you think once you’ve read it!
