Shhhh.. J'ai copie et colle les mots (mais je comprends le, er, 'deal')

Hmmm MSE doesn't like accents. As in the ones over the 'e's not my French accent.. mind you that's probably a bit dodgy!

Oui! Deal, I get

Off now, oopsie - see you later

Bonjour.. ah Karma I meant the Groupon 'deal' rather than our little deal.. anyway I hope you are busy trading

Last night I slightly disturbed and surprised Mr S by turning my essay notes into an almost finished 1500 word essay between tea and University Challenge :rotfl: Fairly pleased with it although it does need a few tweaks, need to do the referencing properly and have a couple of read throughs. I felt really restricted by the word limit - I really want to get into things in more depth! I have to admit to having a bit of a wobble when I read the marking criteria though - it's the first formal work I've done at this level so I'm a little bit worried I'm not quite up to scratch. Will be good to get the first one back and see what sort of things they're really looking for.

That sounds great about the essay - I know what you mean about feeling restricted, its tough for people who like to use a lot of words and this first one is bound to feel weird because you don't know *how* they interpret the marking criteria. I'm sure you'll do fine - you like it, remember!

I do really like it! I think I'm getting quite good at not using too many words, when fewer will do, but I want to get into the topics in more depth. I guess that's something I can look at coming back to later though.

I think the thing with the marking is.. I know I'm quite good at this stuff, so I don't want to let myself down.

Karmacat

That makes sense - and now I'm double-sure you'll be fine

Off out to the town centre now, in a break in the rain - see you :kisses3:

Morning! Ach.. I keep fiddling with the essay now, one of the pitfalls of doing it early! Some of it is necessary fiddling but I really should leave it alone for a few days. Started reading the next section of the course which is about emotion.. really interesting.

This week seems to be just ticking along slowly - tidied the spare room last night ready for the weekend, so all I have to do is hoover at some point before Friday. Also need to see if I can track down some restaurant vouchers for the weekend.

Right I have a load of routine email queries to plod through.. so off to plod!

Sometimes its just one step at a time, isn't it - hope the day is pleasant, at any rate - get some fresh air tho!

redsquirrel80

Are you reading my mind? I didn't leave the office yesterday, only 'fresh air' was walking to/from work in soggy weather, and I felt a bit rubbish last night. Sunny today so I'll be popping out at lunchtime.

Eek. So much for the 8 week waiting list for counselling.. they've got a cancellation so I can go next week. Eek. Scared now!
