Struggling is an understatement 


Having just caught up with the module 3 focus zoom which was a week ago i am completely overwhelmed i feel others are much further in the process then myself which has got me panicking, Helen spoke about having themes in our essay this is when i started to panic i have only written my introduction and my literature review. Then i read another M3 blog she says shes been told the literature is not just one block paragraph it needs to be incorporated throughout my essay which i was worried because i thought i would have to start again.

Helens advice was to step back and take a breathe, taking a moment to gathering your thoughts together, she said we have all got so much information however in order to place it in the correct ways we need to step back... i found this so helpful because i was tying to write my essay as fast as possible all guns blazing however i found myself stressing out more and more which left me not being able to write anything. stepping back also reflecting on M1 really was helpful to me because i felt i got a structure back within my essay i felt i have more knowledge of what i want to come across i felt like i did loose myself a little, from reflecting on M1 i feel i have got my head straight and i know what i need to write and having stepped back i know how to bring myself back and carry on.

on my to do list is going back looking what i have written 

re reading the handbook again

reflecting and re reading M1

stepping back and breathing 

Hope this was helpful to you guys

    You are so not alone! I am starting to feel panicky because I had to wait so long to do my last focus group to then begin the analysis process. Literally trying to use up any annual leave from work to try and get all of this done BUT I'm sure it will. Helen's skype made me feel a lot better too and like I was still on the right track. I'm glad looking back at mod 1 helped you, definitely going to do the same. x

Sam also said make sure you don just use articles to use books and blogs, make sure you can gather as much information as possible then you will have a stronger data collection. were nearly there girls and guys lets keep going and smash...
