Open University - Introduction To The Humanities

My result arrived this morning for TMA03 which I posted on Nov. 27th. 60%! A good pass I would say. Anyway I'm pretty satisfied with it. The tutor, Dr. Matilda Clench, is a pretty strict old bird and she doesn't give away much. I know we've had our differences in the past but that's all water under the bridge now. I think we're rubbing along pretty nicely now. The thing is I know I could have done better. I posted the thing too quickly. You know how it is, you've laboured manfully ('laboured personfully'? I don't think so) on something for ages and when it's done, you just want to get it off you're back. Take my advice (I might even take it myself). Sit on it, even for just half an hour, if you can, and then make sure you have it right before submitting it. My piece was all there, it just could have been ordered better, perhaps tightened up a little. It would have been worth the extra effort.

It has been a beautiful day here in Dalmatia. Lovely and sunny all day. And perfect conditions tonight for the kick-about on the five-a-side park. We lost 7-4 or something. The Ollie was our best man. We were up against it though, with Pizza Paddy and Jimbo in the opposition. Our side was me (The Old Crock), The Ollie (v. good, even if his was a rugby school), Farmer Giles (almost as useless as me), and Tommo (Young Croatian Poser). Despite that it was a good weekend for sport. Rangers have now failed to win in nine consecutive games (fuck them). The Blue Hoops won, keeping up their promotion challenge. Croatia won the Davis Cup, and Monty won in Hong Kong.

I'd better get to bed now and try to rest my aching muscles. I'm sure I'll have siezed up by tomorrow evening.
