Boredom

My focus has started to return, which is great as I have three assignments due in three weeks and we are approaching the business end of the semester and, ultimately, my first year on the journalism course at UL.

However, I have gone through bouts of boredom this week. I was able to concentrate on the work I needed to do this week and that will continue next week. Yet, when all my work is done or when I feel as if I’ve done enough, I get bored.

That being said, I’m not too bothered by my boredom – as long as I get my work done. This week, I:

• Figured out what I’m going to do for my technical writing website assignment – a site on sport’s underrated athletes and coaches
• Made an 8-page plan for the website and I am currently in the midst of bringing that plan to life
• Also started editing my radio package for the radio journalism module. I am in the early stages of this – choosing the parts I will combine together and chopping down each audio to suit that plan

That leaves one assignment – the sociology paper. I am not confident that I know how to do this assignment well so I’ve emailed my tutor in the hopes that whatever he responds with will help me get a clearer view of what I need to do.

Whatever happens though, it’ll turn out fine. I’ll do as good as I can and maybe better. Much like the current global situation in that sense. One day, it’ll be fine and it might even get better. Worrying will make it worse. Sometimes, you just have to believe. Cheesy, I know, but it’s not wrong.

Wash your hands. Stay safe.
