Fruit flies like a banana.

It’s been over six months since I posted here, over six months since I signed up with the OCA.

What happened was that not long after I signed up, I got a new contract – I’m an I.T. Consultant by trade – which has been extremely demanding of my time.  As a result I achieved very little (which is a polite ways of saying I achieved nothing).

So a week or so ago I got a note from the OCA saying, as I hadn’t agreed a submission date for my first Assignment with my tutor, I was going to be put on the “dormant student” list.  This was a kick up the pants.

I’m still working on the contract and it’s still a lot of work, but I’ve made myself a “revision timetable” indicating when I’m intending to do all of the exercises.  This has enabled me to give my tutor an ETA for the first one to be delivered to her.

My girlfriend describes the timetable as “challenging”, and it is.  Most of my spare time will be spent doing these exercises.  I hope I can keep up the pace.

At the moment I’m just concentrating on Assignment 1.  Then I’ll start on Assignment 2 in the same manner.

The journey of a thousand miles… etc etc.
