tired and lacking self confidence...

Not looking forward to receiving the next mark for Exhibition Preparation. I found this module a particularly difficult and stressful one to complete on a personal level, mainly due to the domestic problems that occurred during its production. Having said this, I noticed some other researchers were expressing their feelings as being similar in terms of the difficulties they had faced in completing the module. So on reflection it would appear that my domestic circumstances merely served to increase my stress levels as these would have been relatively high anyway, despite the events that unfolded.

I am now taking a brief break from study. I am reading relevant 'topic' literature though when the opportunity arises and thinking ahead with regard to any modifications required for my planned action inquiry. This is as a result of the feedback and the data analysis that was carried out in the Exhibition Planning module.

Tiredness however is hampering this process together with a lack of confidence. Strong feelings of self doubt have crept in regarding the completion of my degree.

I am hoping a break from the computer and focussing on reading literature in book and journal form will help restore my confidence.
