Not this again...

Somebody whack me upside the head, please. Because here we go again...

First Oceanography TMA. The one covering the material I started studying 6 weeks late because of all the January and February sh*t. Mark: 88%. Which is well into the Distinction grade. Comments from tutor: "Wow, what a TMA!... you have truly got to grips with even the hardest material. Great work... overall you have done brilliantly well. Well done."

BUT... I dropped some marks because of a silly mistake, a mistake I know better than to make. So instead of feeling delighted about this TMA (especially given it was a rush-through job) I feel cr*p about it.

See how STUPID this is? Because I can see how stupid this is, objectively. I HATE that I still can't shake this ridiculous way of looking at things. Gah!

Maybe I should go out and buy cake for my colleagues today and make a point of celebrating. Fight back against my brain's stupidity...

I reckon that celebration is exactly the way to go. S330 is spoken of in hushed tones at the Regional Centres and we all stand in awe of students who take it on and crack it :)

Thanks, hon, it helps to hear that :)

Cake is a brilliant idea. *g*

And congratulations!

Very nice going! Sure, kick yourself - once - but then congratulate yourself on that mark.
