Digital Pedigree Licence



I like the new name.  My lovely boyfriend has coinned a clever new title - evokes images of a glossy Border Collie using a laptop but I'm going with it. 

I just had a whole day to stay at home and work on my DPL - supported by my school (love them).  I worked from 7:30 - 3:30 with an hour for lunch.  I wrote 2351 words and I more or less finished 1 of my 3 items.  I've sent it off to my poor coach who has to read it all and make sense of it.

I've found it very therapeutic though, it's like the clock has stopped for a day for me to look back at a unit and think about why I did and why it was good (or not so).  The hints they give you are very helpful but in the process of answering one I find 10 more unanswered.  Then there's the internal struggle between the teacher me and the graphic designer me - "I could make a cool diagram instead of writing this... just got to teach myself how to make a diargam..." 4o minutes later, "I'll get help on that later..."

I was looking foward to today, telling myself that it can't be that hard, surely you'll knock it off in one day but I was wrong!  It's going to take way longer.  I'm going to do it though, my goal: done by the end of November, let's just see if my Coach plays ball and gets back to me with feedback asap.
