What will you be juggling this year?

Along with NaNo... Uni (specifically, two essays plus lectures and seminars and reading), making time for my long-distance boyfriend (also doing NaNo this year so shouldn't be too hard) and I have a gig or two planned. Not a particularly busy month for me.

College--3 A Levels plus an AS (oh yeh, and General Studies, but I don't know when we start that). (Hopefully) getting ready for interview at Cambridge to do History. Until the 8th November, rehearsals for Blest, a really cool youth event in Inglewhite... don't ask me where Inglewhite is, I've only ever been there in the dark and I don't drive, so I don't have a clue how you get there. Resit classes for history. Anything else UCAS asks me to do. Oh, and my blog. Mustn't forget my blog, it got rather abandoned last year.

I've just found out that I've got en essay due in on dec 1st. what are the chances?!?!

Oooh... best of luck, n3mzay (and everyone else of course).

I've got 4 AS levels, driving lessons and english coursework to do, but I don't think I'll do too badly. Homework is going to have to come first though, and unlike last year I can't put it off until the last minute. >.< Bad things happen.

Still, I feel like I'm getting off lightly compared to some of you. D:

NaNo 06: Freedom Club (Sci-fi) - 23k
NaNo 07: Hex (Sci-Fi) - 51k
NaNo 08: The Five Hands of Gert de Vries (Supernatural) - 71k
NaNo 09: Bright Fire Burning Hands (Fantasy)

Along with NaNo this time, I'll be juggling it with a couple of outstanding writing projects I've started this year but as yet not bothered to finish. Mainly so I can head towards 2010 with a clean slate of ideas!

"Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle plans are here again!"

Weeeellll, lesse:

Studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 2 (which is Dec. 6th) which is an insanely hard test that I am highly likely to fail (and you only have to get a 60% to pass...>.<)
Keep up with my Uni work (which is turning out more like high school, since my Japanese teachers like to pile on the hw and we have tests three times a week...kill me now please)
Make time for friends/outings/language practice with the Japanese students (karaoke anyone? XD)
Work twice a week (but all day, from 6am to 6pm) at the Tokyo Riding Club (and also the reason why I'm currently crippled...ooh, my back *dies*)

Hm, much more than last year. I hope I can still manage the 100k mark (though last year I also had a week long vacation during November and this year I don't!) but I'm not as hopeful. The amount of studying and work will really eat into my time. I'm going to have to sacrifice a lot of my usual hobbies (i.e. fanfiction and DeviantArt) to get this done.

Still, not as bad as some people have it probably! Good luck to everyone I say :D

*~*NaNo2008*~* - 100,956words
*~*NaNo2009*~* - good luck!

AS levels-ness, reading for book club, Genesis Awards-related stuff, writing fanfic and possibly doing the school play (if our teachers get around to organising it) are all on my to-do-during-NaNo list. I also count 'completing various videogames' as a pressing engagement...

~Sorcery and science collide!~

Alongside 'wrimo, I have 3 A levels and an AS to juggle with it, which, all of them just have to decide to throw me coursework. :') One of them isn't due till April, but two of them, Media and Film, are like the bane of my existance - whilst out filming every few days and most weekends, you really do start to run out of time, so I'll have to go poking around for slots of time when I can write. I've also got to read two books by December (fun) and sort out UCAS and do uni visits AND lodes of other things, too.

I also count watching Doctor Who on the fifteen and going to see New Moon as soon as it comes out on the twentieth very important events to juggle nano with, too. XD

Not a huge amount, thankfully. I've got a full-time job, but that didn't stop me last year. I'll be juggling practice with 3 bands, but as they're all based in Wigan I can use the travel time on the train to write (remind me to get a netbook as soon as I get paid!). I had it a little easier last year in that I commuted to work and could write on the way, whereas now I live in the city centre and tend to get up later. But if I put a stop to that then I'll have a good few hours in the morning and at night to get my writing in.

I've got a couple of gigs coming up as well, but meh. They can be nights off. I'll just have to get my words down in the morning!

This is my first year but I'm going to attempt the novel whilst juggling:
5 AS levels during the weekdays and a GCSE course one evening a week (obviously plus homeworks/coursework/revision etc)
Family life, as in my son and my partner, cleaning the house, cooking, washing, ironing, etc etc.
Jogging most week nights
Reading (ahh I live to read!)

Well I work as a registered nurse so I will be juggling between that, spending time with my family and football and Nano.

I have been so into the whole Nano thing I have actually been watching less football Hows that for dedication !

GCSEs (exams and coursework, meh), cooking for a cake sale, friend's birthday, christmas shopping, seeing assorted relatives, auditions for school musicals (chorus only as I can't sing) and other joyless stuff.
