Bad blogger redux

So this blogging thing, not going so well. Time is a definite issue, I'm trying to do my ou course and I think that may well have been a mistake. I'm too old and my brain definitely doesn't take things in the way it once did. And essays, oh my God, I cannot motivate myself to do the essays, I hate it. well only 4 and half more essays to go and then I can say I've finished - if I don't throw in the towel. Things that are going slightly better - I'm back on the diet after a Christmas hiatus, and even though I ate everything that wasn't nailed down over the festive period I still managed to lose half a pound. I hope it wasn't delayed weight gain and when I go this week I find out that I've put on half a stone or something. Also I've been doing some writing and I'm quite pleased with that, it's not Shakespeare but it's better than I thought I was capable of. Anyhoo, I have an essay to finish so I'm off to play Zuma's revenge, what? I can procrastinate with the best of them!
