It would appear that I have underestimated the amount of work needed to complete a degree. I have had the course materials for three weeks my and this is my second blog post. The difficulty of working full-time and studying in a self disciplined manner, rather than going to scheduled classes, is proving challenging. I find myself procrastinating rather than getting down to doing some serious work. I am also all a little frightened to start the exercises in case I get it wrong. I am starting to suffer from analysis paralysis. Actually it's more like second-guessing and doubting myself before I even start. In previous experiences of studying photography, at a level and GCSE, I would wait until the very last minute and then cram a years worth of work into the last month to study. Looking at what needs to be done at least they have realised that I cannot do that at degree level.
I have set myself the goal of completing the introductory exercises by the end of October (today is 22 October 2013).
