    Pepe - if only you were my boss, I'd be off home like a shot!

    Linda - chin up. First essays for any course are always the worst.

    It said something about resubmission but to be honest I didn't read through that far, just closed the page down.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Go back to it when you've had a bit of a :mad: - hopefully there will be some helpful comments to improve on it.

    I hate reading feedback, it always feels like such a damning judgement xxx
    I know it feels crap ((hug))

    Just remember hon, it is one essay not the whole course. paper, one opinion.

    use the experience and learn*grits teeth* (I am trying to do the same thing with my MA but I still resent the tutors!!)

    Hugs Linda. :grouphug:

    Try not to dwell on it too much, as it will have an impact on any further essays.

    Ah Linda, I'm sorry. ((hugs)) hunny xxxx

    My Mom can't get to FLorida now. Gutted. She is a teacher and requested thru all the correct channels to get the time off and was denied. In hindsight she should have just taken the days as sick but too late now. Its a LOT of money (which she doesnt have) to fly for the weekend so I am going to BEG my sister and brother to either buy her a ticket for FLa or to come see me in the summer. These past few days have been puuuriiiitty crap I must say. Hey ho.

    (((Hugs))) Linda. You are more than intelligent enough to do the course, it's just a case of getting used to the style/content that they expect and tailoring it to meet that. You will get there, don't be disheartened. Think of it like a bad run - you know the only way to get over it is to get back out there and run some more.

    Ohh I missed a troll! *reluctantly puts troll-bashing implements away*

    Buffy, it's definitely 5k. :)

    I haven't decided which RFL to do this year. Might do the Bath one if it's not too expensive to get there. Or maybe will just do Leeds or Bradford.
