The course has been going for a bit over a week now and I have gotten used to the website, First Class and finally talked to Sarah, my Learning Facilitator yesterday.

A few things still need to be done this week:

- I need to finish the ILP:

I'm having a hard time with it, because I don't really know what it required of me at this stage. I have finished filling in the How I Will Approach This bit, but only in noted. I have no clue if we should just submit it in notes-style (considering Sarah said yesterday that it is mainly for myself and I will find myself changing it and developing it during the Learning Activities), or in full sentences.
Also, I know myself and I always struggle with a concrete plan. I like to leave my options open, but I also need to realize that I can obviously change my ILP regardless of what I submitted.

- I need to send in my Tuition Fee Grant form:

Today I will send it to ARU/Ultralab and then I need to send it on to Student Finance Direct asap. The deadline is Dec. 1st.
I also think that my student account with ARU won't work until they have seen and stamped my form. I hope SFD EU Team is quick to process my application.

- I need to study for my regular exams. Enough said on that in here.

- I need to get a better at time management:

I have realized that I work a little bit too much. I need to learn how to use my time correctly. Over the next few weeks I will mainly focus on my Humboldt University exams, but at least right after those exams I want to designate my days to only one thing. Say, Mondays and Fridays I work at Lernwerk. The mornings can be used for general work and some revision. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I teach privately. I only want to use the mornings for Ultraversity work when I don't have to go to normal university, which is on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The weekends are reserved for at least one whole day off (which can be spread over two days, I assume).
