beccaelizabethLove it when that happens.
Invisible essay was still invisible, but I got the mark for it: 60%
:-)
... yes it's like 15% lower than my best, and only about 2% higher than my worst, but I think it's in the same grade band as usual, and, importantly, I knew this particular essay was bullshit pasted together with big words, so I'm kind of impressed. For an essay where I couldn't figure out which essay question to answer and so vaguely kind of sort of answered half of them even though I knew that's no use whatsoever? 60% is pretty good.
Even better, teacher has emailed me and says invisible essay got visible after I left, and now it is in an envelope on her desk ready for me to pick up. Win!
Probably it will say 'answer the question'. And possibly it will say 'you are making this up aren't you'. But it being English I think the latter is less likely.
Also today I experimented with catching the bus. I waited half an hour but I was at the right bus stop and otherwise would have spent that time walking in to town and catching the bus at a different stop and getting back to that same stop while on the bus. Which might have been warmer, but since it was no longer snowing by then I could live with it.
Also also I listened to BFA 130 'A Thousand Tiny Wings'. Plenty good story, unusual historical setting, interesting characters, and lots of women. I like it.
I would like it better if I listened to it in a quieter environment so I could hear all of it and not just the loud bits, but the whole point is listening on the bus, so instead I need to fix the loudness. I can't just make it all louder because the loud bits are quite entirely loud enough, but the quiet bits disappear into the engine noise. Maybe I need better headphones.
Now I must decide between food and sleep.
Always a tricky one.
