winding down

This module, my first ever, is winding down.
I've submitted my essay so it's too late to worry now.
This will be my last post for now.
It's been a rewarding experience and a real eye opener.
I've signed up for the next module, ned11 I think.
I should be a little more confident this time, though I acknowledge my essay writing and referencing need work.
The people who have been communicating on the notice board have been very pleasant and helpful which has made it a pleasant experience.
Keeping my fingers crossed I did enought to get through this first module.
If Cynthia reads this, thanks, It's been a pleasure.

catastrophe

Just recovering from a near catasrophe.
My computer went kaput!
On starting up one day I got wallpaper and nothing else. No icons, taskbar, nothing.
Thank goodness for a workmate who was able to rescue me, eventhough I lost all the things I have downloaded recently. But he did manage to retrieve all my files, which included the essay which is due in very shortly.
I stressed for days about having to start all over again and kicked myself for not saving it to my blog as I went.
Anyhow I'm back in the race. The essay isn't that good to start with so I dread to think what it would have been like if I had to hurriedly start another one.

Essay

Ploughing through my essay. Being the type that likes to keep things succinct and to the point I am finding it a bit tough to stretch out to 1500 words what I feel I could say in a couple of hundred.
But I guess this is my inexperience with studying showing through.

I'm finding it interesting searching for critical articals, as you see other peoples interpretations of the same theme.

Just got the results of my first assignment and I have to say I am quite pleased as I was very worried, again with my lack of experience.
Cynthia pointed out that my referencing needs a little work. ( I think she was being a tad diplomatic) I think it needs more than a little.
