...take everything real slow
Now, that song lyric really describes me at the moment, I am coming back to reading the bible, very slowly. (I will prob fall flat on my face now, but hey!) I am also coming back to enjoying my course again. This week has just been a bit of a let down, we've had a weeks worth (except for today) of lectures and seminars on how to write essays (just so that they get everyone to the same standard etc) I thought I knew how to write an essay, and it's good to be re-told I suppopse and reminded, but it has also been a bit discouraging, as I got my lowest mark so far in the essays that I have just got back, I mean I still passed quite considerably, but I wasn't happy with my mark. I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar I just had, it was with my Head of English, and he's such a good lecturer, he makes things really interesting although they might seem really quite a boring subject at the start! (it was poetry... I struggle with poetry!) the way that this guy loves everything to do with English, really helps me to be fired up about it too (it doesnt take a lot to get me excited about English anyway!) It's not just a lve of reading, its a love of words, and meanings, a love of their origins and how they mean different things in different English speaking places, i.e. in America a bathroom is called a restroom, and silly things like that that tend to fascinate me. I then went to collect two more of my essays, and was really pleased with the marks. I know that I would love to get better marks, but its a start. I know where I'm going wrong now, and am seeking to write more fluidly and coherently! I am feeling a lot better than the other day (as you might have guessed!)
Onwards and upwards!
