The results are in!

Well, it's been a bad start to the day. I struggled so much with my poetry last night that I forgot everything that i had to do and spent the whole night concerntrating on it. I think i fell asleep at 2am, and when i woke up, the light was still on, my laptop was still on, the big red book was on my chest and my pen was still in my hand. When i got up, i went to go and iron some trousers and a shirt and when i plugged the iron in it tripped all my electricity. So with the iron broken and a wardrobe full of crumpled clothes....i was not happy as you can imagine. So i had to dress in creased trousers and unmatching non-creased top. Then, i picked up my new sunglasses and they fell apart in my hand! I got to work and was told that i am "turning into a porker", which makes me feel great about myself (note the sarcasm there) and a huge spot has appeared near the left hand side of my mouth, making me feel even less great about myself. All in all, not a good start!!!

But...(drum roll please).......THE TMA 02 RESULTS ARE IN!!!!!

Okay.....reading mine now............
Its not too bad. A 71, which is fairly respectable i would say. In fact, its better than that because i do believe that its classed as a first (a first is a tye of pass...and a good one at that)! Her comments are very positive, seems like i made some fairly basic mistakes in the presentation of my characters and may have over-done some description. My tutor has given me lots of very positive and constructive feedback so i'm very happy. As long as i've passed i'm happy! I have always been a bit uncomfortable with someone reading and criticising my work (which is really bad considering i want to be a writer), but I'm much more comfortable with it now. Once upon a time i would have gotten upset that it wasn't a 100% score and i would have thrown the criticisms in the bin and given up for a few months, but i don't feel the need to do that now....in fact, i feel the need to rewrite it and improve it :) Hoorah, maybe i have finally grown up? (Pah, like thats ever going to happen!) Shame i am stuck at work.......on yet another nice day :( Not sure how the other girls did yet, i have only heard from Lay, and she did really really well. I'm sure the others will tell us tonight at the study group :)

Anyways, i guess its time to go back to work land! There is naff all to today, so methinks i may be able to sneak some poetry work in......

(Still no Ninja Kittens!!!!! They'd better come tomorrow!!!!)
