Okay, so exams are over and I still have yet to write my tumblrs for this week. I’m just waiting for my exceptional awesome magnificent oh-wise ones, that I call adults to reply to my emails.
I am writing this in a delirious state of no sleep because I have been helping my mum with her…
I can’t believe it is term three already. So I’m going to set myself a task this term which is related to this weeks homework. I’m going to try and write these blogs grammatically correct and stop being lazy and imagine this is an assessment.
Out of all terms for me personally this is the most…

So I got to shadow a documentary in process!
Was very posh. On top of the oxo tower with lovely views of the Southbank! Basically got to hear about Euginie and Cherry in their crazy twenties and single life! Yeap I easedropped on their conversation and so did the camerman! Hopefully it makes the final cut!

After watching the video on how to analyse & break bad habits I followed the idea to observe and then crack habits. So I’ve now been trying this recently and I think it’s working to increase my productivity and general concentration.
Simply by timing my self I found that I work best in short…

When I read Camilla’s email about the task for the week, it made me laugh. John Donne said this:
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as…
Life Chart- In all honesty, I feel I have little control in many areas of this. I have recently been all consumed by my work life- 7 days a week is a lot. Huff and puff.
Part of our challenge this week was to ask people of different generations about their purpose in life. So I rattled my brain (and looked around the office to see who I could find) and came up with 2 of my colleagues.
