This is my private Open University blog recording the ups & downs of being an Arts student for the first time at age 36. Started in late January 2006, I hope to use this blog to vent my frustrations plus celebrate my triumphs as well as show to other newby OU students that they're not alone!

Drum roll please......

FINALLY! I have my TMA1 back....................I got a"B"!! Ha! ha! Yeessssss!

I'm on cloud nine now but at the time I did get it, I was a bit less than happy. I didn't agree with some of the criticisms made by my tutor and got a bit irritated that she didn't like:

  1. the fact I didn't explain what the "blight" was (I thought that would be stating the bleeding obvious and wasting words);
  2. that I suggested there was 'vivid language' to start the piece (it was a poetic, idyllic introduction);
  3. and that the final paragraph was redundant & didn't conclude the piece.

But, hey, I'm delighted now that the mark was excellent and way above my humble expectations. With all those "mistakes" I still got an 'B'! This is a real shot in the arm for the next TMA.

Now, shall I brag about it at tonight's tutorial?
