Well there you go, i'm quite surprised that people think highly of me!

Me, I have pretty low self-esteem, and I am probably harder on myself than anyone else. Sometimes i wonder if keep a journal is really healthy. Maybe it encourages me to be more self-critical than i would without it. On the other hand, writing everything down sometimes clarifies things. Which can either bring issues sharply into focus, or makes me realise that they just aren't issues at all.

Thank goodness it's payday today.

I almost wish i was going down to London this weekend, but i've put the deposit down on the beading course, so a-beading i shall go.

I've sold some more shares to pay for my front garden.

I forgot to mention that i got 74 for my last tma. 10 marks less than the first two, but ten marks more than my average for last year! I knew it wasn't good, and at the day school two weeks ago i told my tutor not to bothered marking it as it was so bad! His first comment on the pt3 form was that it wasn't as bad as i had feared! I knew it wasn't as good as the previous two, and at the dayschool i realised that although i was putting in the majority of the points expected, i had completely misinterpreted the question. So although i answered my interpretation of it, it was quite right. Tomorrow i need to start on the short answer for tma04, so that I have a clear run at the next essay. I want, and know that I can do better. Can you believe that after this course, i only have two more to do? They are too much for me to do together, so it's another two years, but still.

The price of the masters is about 400 pounds more than i am paying for my undergrad courses.
