This organisational first and lessening of panic isn't because I am fully up to where I need to be, it is because finishing the first module ahead of time is the only way that I will have the slightest chance of handing in the second module just over a week later on time and in a state that should hopefully allow me to scrape a pass. It is odd that although I know I still have a huge ammount of work to do before the second deadline, just the fact that the first is almost under control makes me a lot calmer, even if it is just a brief respite from the panic, I am enjoying it!
In finishing up this module I have also realised how much I use the cut and paste function throughout my work. When writing a particular section, if I find myself going off on a tangent, I cut and paste into a notes document as although it might not be relevant to what I am doing right now, it might be a useful prompt for other areas and reflections in the future.
I have also found that that notes document should really be called reflections (or learning journal mark 2!), as most of what gets pasted over there are thoughts and ideas that come up as I am writing, and looking at it in its current entirity, it is mainly double loop reflections that weren't relevant in the prescribed sections of the rest of the module that I was working on when they came up, but will be great for forming the basis of section 5.
If I hadn't cut and pasted when they happened, I would now be desperately trying to identify double loop learning but by keeping all my ramblings in one place, I have lots of relevant points and reflections that I probably would have forgotten about by now in my panic otherwise.
