reflections when home

I have found it very difficult to cope with the huge amount of work when I got home, perhaps that is because I have about three different jobs, my new one and then a great deal of tasks from my old job too. I had so much marking to catch up on and now there is more, staff matters to deal with and then to start setting up this new job, finding a place to stay etc. i have also been giving papers at two conferences already.
I can see how students struggle to find the time and space to engage in e-learning modules when they are working. One feels torn in so many directions.
I have been working collaboratively with Rina and Antonia which has been good, but I did not manage to chat with them as I couldn't download msn at university.
We did manage to meet eventually but missed the general group chat on Task 4 which was a pity as we were under the impression that our paper was going well until we heard from Anne Karin that we had to look much more carefully at our own module. That made us panic a bit as not much time is left before we hand it in.
