This week will be quite varied. I’ll be watching the week 12 lectures as well as solving the remaining exercises I have yet to do from the weeks 11 and 12 problem set.

I will also be going over some units of English Pronunciation in Use - Intermediate, and if I happen to still have some time to spare, I will be solving some exercises from the book Language Practice for First or writing my new year’s resolution that I still haven’t managed to write.

As for today, I need to collect a parcel at a post office nearby. I bought one of the books I need for my English course online, and the parcel has been waiting for me since Tuesday. This year we will be using the Objective Proficiency set of books [1 and 2], and the Cambridge English Proficiency 1 for Updated Exam companion book.

Today’s list:

• Watch week 12 lectures and Aziza’s webinar.
• Solve weeks 11 and 12 problem set.
• Collect parcel.
• Solve unit two of English Pronunciation in Use - Intermediate.
• Go to the gym.

I’m feeling burned out. I took a day off today so that I can have the whole day to study at a slower pace. I will also go to the gym as it is a great way of winding down.

Because of my day job I won’t be able to tackle as many items on this list as I would wan’t to, therefore I’ll be solving weeks 7 and 8 problem set, and if I can, I will also watch the week 10 lecture.

• Fix scissors tool.

Here’s the plan. We are on week 13.

With regard to the Introduction to Programming II course, I have completed everything that is required of me up until week 14, scissors and editable shape tools included. However, tha scissors tool needs some tweaking. I’ve been asked to write a log on the progress I’ve been making to hand out with the final assignment, so I should be taking special care so as not to forget to include important details.

I’ve also made this Gantt chart to organize the features I need to be delivering by the end of the course and I think I am currently doing alright. I will probably not make any changes to the application until next week since I am exhausted - I’ve been doing lots of coding and I’ve written lots of documentation because the midterms’s deadline was yesterday.

With regard to Discrete Mathematics, things are not looking as pristine. I need to solve weeks 7 and 8 problem set, weeks 9 and 10 problem set. I also need to watch the videos from weeks 10 to 13 and solve the questionnaires in each section. I’ve noticed that I have some peer-graded assignments that I could not complete from week 10… Let’s hope it doesn’t have a negative impact on my final mark… It says ungraded so it probably won’t.

Consequently, this is the list of thing I need to do in order to get back to speed:

• Add to the calendar the reminder for the next live lectures.
• Print weeks 13 and 14 problem set.
• Fix scissors tool.
• Solve weeks 7 and 8 problem set.
• Watch week 10 lectures and Aziza’s webinar.
• Solve weeks 9 and 10 problem set.
• Watch week 11 lectures and Aziza’s webinar.
• Watch week 12 lectures and Aziza’s webinar.
• Solve weeks 11 and 12 problem set.
• Watch week 13 lectures and Aziza’s webinar.
• Hand in the peer-graded assignment on induction and recursion.

From that long list. Today I’ll be taking a look at:

• Solve weeks 7 and 8 problem set.
• Watch week 10 lectures and Aziza’s webinar.

I probably won’t finish any of the two, but I need to start somewhere.
