From the 20th:


Last week i came down with another bought of that horrible stomach bug, but i think i'm finally over it. Certainly i polished off the rest of the rich tea biscuits over the weekend!

I'm close to finishing tma05. It's been hard because it was so close to the last one, and i don't have much interest in the subject matter...but if i pass, that's all that really matters at this stage, and certainly from the process of writing it, i have learned the importance of planning an essay, so it hasn't been time wasted.

Despite that, i'm not doing too badly at all, and i should be fairly certain of a pass (which is all you get at the end of this, rather than a percentage result). I've even picked out what i want to do next, and i know that 60 points is as much as i would want to do at any one time!

But a ten point course, followed bya 30 point course sounds good.

What smells good at work today is Samosa's. One my colleagues has been here a year and has bought in a batch of warm ones. mmmm. pastry, potato and spice. Just what you need for breakfast!

I had a good tutorial yesterday, all about religion. I'd already covered most of it, but it's good to discuss these things. Melody and myself are going to meet up next Monday and have a discussion about the next tma. It's not due in for 5 weeks, but there is no harm on thinking about how we are going to approach it.

My tutor recommended taking this weekend off! I feel as if i've been writing tma's for the last six weeks (i probably have!), and it sounds likea good idea. I've read a far bit of block 4, and have started reading Medea, and thinking about rereading Wide Sargasso Sea(yuk!). More enjoyable than the French Revolution...

I also tried to register myself on my next course, but it just gave me a form for a science short course, when it should be an arts one. I'm in no hurry though, and indeed it now has three start times for the next academic year, so i could probably do that and Latin. But i think it would be better not to!

I'm now just sitting at work dreaming of going home. I'm sooooo tired, and a bit fed up today. Just an hour and a half and i can go home, get some tea and then chill out for a while before having a nice bath and going to bed.
